These practices are legal under the rules (NF) but I don't like them.
Fair enough. I see your point. I was trying to apply the intent of the rule. And I guess I let my thinking be influenced to some degree by Sunday.

Blocking is not restricted to the offense. Once A has passed B or has made a cut away from him, then it's hands off.
I'm convinced! Thanks for the help guys.
