In a play like this, I'm going to "give" the obstructed runner two strides. Had the runner stopped at second & then restarted, that would be too bad. This runner didn't stop, so I'm removing the effect of the "minor affect" obstruction by giving the runner two running strides.
Every now & then, the defense non-chalants a ball and gets burned by a runner who is looking for an opportunity.
