Yes. If the defender contacts opponent with his torso when the torso is still moving forward, that is not LGP, just like a lean into the path of an opponent who is slipping buy. I'd consider it different if the defender had already been there and was just "firming up", as some like to call it, but, in this play, he was just jumping into position and didn't get "there" yet.
