(*) That's not this play.

It seems to me that you're taking his comments and projecting it in a way that Jeff never meant to project it at all. I don't believe he's saying that ANY receiver who is hit and because of that hit has no play on the ball must then make some effort to get through the interference to get to that ball. I believe he's saying that in THIS case, the receiver had no chance to get to the ball and had already given up at the point of the potential interference. BIG difference.
