We had a meeting the other night and the expanded neutral zone was being discussed. We know an ineligible receiver is awarded the expanded neutral zone if he contacts a B lineman and the contact doesn't continue beyond the expanded neutral zone (up to 2 yards). Now, the question is, if one of the five interior lineman is blocking and has the neutral zone has expanded for him, does it also expand for all the other ineligible receivers who aren't in contact with a B lineman? In other words, if it expands for one, does it expand for all whether or not they are in contact with a defensive lineman?
