I'll give it a go.
The rule states that passer is outside the pocket + the pass crosses the line of scrimmage = no foul
We all agree about the ball crossing the line of scrimmage - right!
The outside the pocket part is a bit more tricky.
Now I'm not a 100% sure about the NFL rule about the pocket. But it is most likely not a dynamic area (doesn't move during the play). As this would - in my opinion - give the defense an unfair advantage.
Now at the right tackles right foot. Then look at the passers feet when he throws the ball. You could easily defend this as being outside the pocket.
There is no TE on the play and there is also no ING.
