Well then we have a different play. I thought we were talking about a player who was legally 2.5 feet from the boundary line.
If he's sticking his legs out, then that's a different kettle of fish.

The post that you replied to just said that the offensive player "tripped" on the defender. That was all the info in it.The point I was trying to make is that nothing has really changed on this play(as Slappy pointed out) except for when the defender's foot is on an OOB line. In other words,you can't say "3 feet from OOB line" is always a charge,or contact with the leg is also always a charge. The only time that you have a "one size fits all" call is when the contact occurs when the defender is standing OOB.Then it's always a block.
