Here's a twist. What's the call when the QB, seeing his wideout getting repeatedly chucked, wings the ball over to his wideout, (with the ball sailing beyond the LOS)? Chances are the wideout is also using his hands, etc. to ward off the defender. Makes for an interesting call - or no call.

### assuming a DB is strong enought to keep a receiver from leaving the line is even possible, it is a no call until a pass is in the air. Then you most probably have a DPI call. That will depend on just what the receiver is doing. Remember, he can't block at all. He can't push off either. You could have a no foul, you could have double foul.
Agree?
