In Both NE and MO it is pretty much interpreted at least every time I've heard the interpreters speak about it as it is in the book.

If the ball is in the zone when the block is BEGUN then the ball is in the zone for the block...in other words if at the snap a lineman begins to block low, he may do so even if at the moment of contact the ball has already left the zone. If he stands or retreats before going low, and the ball has left before he starts his block then he's guilty.

ALSO it should be noted: Defensive players in the zone may block below the waist but not in the back nor may they clip. (My FB career ended when a DL clipped me)
