REPLY: No Robert...BBW is legal for both D and O linemen provided all the criteria are met. They specifically allow D-linemen to go low at the LOS so that they can try to submarine the offensive line on short-yardage or goal line defenses.
You might be thinking of legal clipping and legal blocks in the back which are only permitted by O-linemen against D-players subject to the restrictions in 2-17.
