That's not true, cowboy. Once he's on the same parallel yardline, and is obviously moving away from the defender, he is no longer a potential blocker. That's also what the NCAA rule states. Even if he may again become a blocker during the down, you can't continue to contact him after he's at this point. It's illegal use of hands.

Also, ABoselli is correct about BBTW. Offensive linemen can certainly block high abd then go for the legs. The only thing that matters is initial contact.

Then they need to make it illegal. I saw a kid get hurt with this type of block. They also need to make the rule book consistant as 99% of the time the ball is gone from the FBZ and the rule book clearly states there will be no BBTW at that point.
