By what logic, Mark?
The way I picture the original play, A1's leg is abnormally extended beyond his vertical plane. A defensive player is not allowed to extend his cylinder by extending his foot further away from his body, why should an offensive player?
Furthermore, if A1 has his feet not quite underneath himself, can B1 then plow into the torso of A1 since his cylinder of verticality has not been infringed upon?
