I think the intent of the rule is to allow a block below the waist on the initial line charge. With QB under center, the ball is going to take a couple of seconds to leave the zone, no matter what he does with it. The intent is a safety factor. They don't want any delayed blocks below the waist. I don't see any advantage gained by the offense just because the QB is 5 yds back instead of 4. If the block is on the initial charge, I'm not flagging it.
