The free-blocking [FBZ] is a rectangular area extending laterally 4 yards either side of the spot of the snap and 3 yards behind each line of scrimmage. A player is in the free-blocking zone [FBZ] when any part of his body is in the zone at the snap.
2-17-2
Blocking below the waist is permitted in the free-blocking zone [FBZ] when the following conditions are met:
a. All players involved in the blocking are on the line of scrimmage [LOS] and in the zone [FBZ] at the snap
b. The contact is in the zone.
I would guess since there is no "snap" and there is no FBZ on a Free-kick, that BBW would not be permitted whether they were on defense or not.
