I went back and looked at them again and I think the only one that was really illegal was the second one. The first one the contact happens with the torso and not primarily the legs.
The second one was illegal based on the fact that he extended his arms which I feel caused a lot of the contact. There might have been some embellishment, but not much IMO on this play.
The last one I first thought was illegal, but it appears he was preparing to be run into and was bigger and the contact was more retreating then extending.
