REPLY: If the FB is leading the runner through the line and the LB takes him out with a BBW to clear the way to the runner, it is most certainly an illegal BBW. If the FB fakes having the ball, I'd give the LB the benefit of the doubt. But if it's clear that the FB is a blocker, I have a flag against the LB for a BBW. Patton's citation is the correct one.
