Exactly. If the defender is in position and the only reason they don't take it straight in the chest is because the opponent adjusted so they hit off-center, I'm am NOT penalizing the defender.
However, if it is off-center where the only contact is on the shoulder and it is so because that is all the defender could get in front of the opponent prior to contact, I'm likely to consider that such a defender never made it into the path.
