If the line is in a standards T, G, C, G, T, TE with the TE in the line the TE is considered in the free blocking zone and can block low. If the TE is on the "strong" side of an unbalanced line then he is not in the FBZ and cannot block low. As well if they run a double TE with both TE's on the same side, the inside TE can block low but the outside one cannot..
Remember the defender he hits low must be in the FBZ and must be on (no more than 1 yard off) the LOS. So if the TE that can block below the waist hits a LB off his outside shoulder then he should be flagged for the block below the waist.
