I think the key word in the definition is "foremost." It's an old time tactic of punishing the tackler by leading with your feet (spikes), sort of in memory of Ty Cobb. I saw it called one time in an NFL game and that is exactly what happened. The runner struck the tackler with both feet in the chest and head. I think a clearer definition would help.
