First, I think play 2 was a block - for the same reasons others have posted. The defender did move into the offensive player.
But this statement has me puzzled, Camron. Lateral movement is in reference to the person moving...the defender can move laterally from their initial LGP without violating the rules. It has nothing to do with the movement of the offensive player.
