It doesn't make much difference as I'd probably call that a personal foul -- especially if the lineman slid under the defender -- since the HC is a PF penalty anyway. Technically, the HC rule applies to bringing down the "runner."
Remember, if the lineman grabs his facemask and pulls him down, you aren't going to just call holding on that. I realize the FM rule isn't specific to a type of player, but I think the same principle applies.
