I thought twice about posting the clip because I knew that people would be focused on the specifics of THAT particular play. While I did a poor job of communicating it last night, I was more curious about whether a B player could be considered a defenseless player on a play like this under the current rule language.
You posted this play as an example. Whatelse did you expect people to say?

And yes the defensive player could be considered defenseless in this kind of situation, but that would only be if someone launched at them or hit them in the head and this is not that situation.
