Just a couple of followups to this thread that I don't think need their own but occur to me as I read responses. I will do my best to avoid gymnastics to not upset Cameron:

1 - Since a defender in LGP may move backwards or turn to maintain LGP or defend themselves. For those concerned with exaggeration or flopping as the reason to no call, can I assume that you don't consider falling backwards and moving backwards the same thing?

2 - If this list (obviously not totally encompassing) is the possible general scenarios in a block charge:

1 - Defender doesn't establish or maintain LGP and is responsible for the contact and we deem it a foul (block)
2 - Defender doesn't establish or maintain LGP and is responsible for the contact and we deem it is incedental (no call).
3 - Offensive player contacts a player in LGP and is responsible for contact and we deem it a foul (pc)
4 - Offensive player contacts a player in LGP and is repsonsible for contact and we deem it incedental (no call).

Then the break down is roughly 25% blocks, 50%, no-calls, 25% charges. This isn't the way its going to break down in a single game or series of plays but it does make me wonder. With the ball carrier getting RSBQ as ways in which they can be impeded and the defense really needing to be displaced to get the pc call. Take embellishment off the table (I'm sure both sides embellish; though its probably easier to try to simulate impeded, off stride, etc, than displacement in a non obvious way.) What do you think over time the real break down in games over time turns into? I ask because in our zone the more tape I watch its not close to this and I'm wondering if over time I shouldn't be seeing a more regular distribution.
