When reading this post, I initially agreed with Matt-MI and wheels. But, I decided to go to the rule book to confirm my intial ruling.

Rule 7.5.12 says that the ineligible downfield restriction does not end with touching by A--only touching by B (in or behind the NZ). So, A55 is guilty of being an ineligible downfield in play 1.

Also, rule 7.5.8 says that PI restrictions are in effect until the pass is touched or the pass is incomplete. Now in the original post, the blocking by A55 was beyond the NZ before the pass was touched by A22.

Now combining this with 7.5.7, which says that PI restrictions only apply beyond the NZ and only if the pass, untouched by B crosses the NZ, I think A55 is guilty of PI in play 2.

I realized I screwed up the rule references. I fixed them.
