It may well be that crashing a defensive player who is picking up the ball is no longer illegal. It might now be like crashing a fielder who is drawn into the runner by the throw. Maybe this is why ASA is emphasizing that the fielder should not be where he can be crashed unless he actually has possession of the ball.
If this is true, it would take a USC crash—not just a crash—for us to call the runner out.
