Have to disagree that these are the same. While a hold away from the play almost always will not affect the play, having a player downfield, and especially blocking downfield, could affect the play and you would never know irt. ie: a defensive back see the blocking and thinks "Aha! Blocking downfield....no pass here." And leaves his receiver to come up to cover the run.
