That's fine, but don't forget the rule on guarding (4-23-1): "A player who extends an arm, shoulder, hip or leg into the path of an opponent is not considered to have LGP if contact occurs."
Iirc, there was an interp that stated the defender's legs could only be shoulder's width apart. (Or was it a college interp?)
