Saw those pics last night at the state clinic Power Point presentation.
In pic#2, note the white arrow moving upward, indicating the blocker is driving the helmet up into the "blockee's" chin. I can honestly state that I have NEVER SEEN THAT in 15 years of officiating FB.
In pic #1, the driving principal is invaribly is the first contact is with the shoulder, hands, etc. Players clunk masks and helmets together all the time, doesn't mean its illegal.
Are the acts as pictured illegal? Definitely. Do they happen? Maybe, but no where near "all the time".
The primary IHC we see is going to be normally referred to as spearing- using the helmet to "punish" the opponent. Blockers just don't lead with the helmet front and/or facemask very often. Its just too unnatural an act.
