Careful about being to general on this one lest someone actually believes it is as you wrote this.

It is NOT necessarily a block in the above cases. The "primary" responsibility lies with the defender but not the sole responsibility.

Example, A1 going down the sideline and gets head/shoulders by B1. B1 is moving directly away from A1. A1 changes directions, moving sidesways such that the middle of his torso contacts B1. This is not a foul on B1.
