Assuming the contact is not malicious, I still think that under FED rules I have obstruction. I'm thinking that the runner gained access to the plate only because he knocked the catcher down. I don't like the FED rule that says the fielder has to possess the ball, but it is there. No ball and blocking access tells me that the runner is safe unless there is MC.
