BJ needs a little education on DPI -- ball must be in the air.
As far illegal use of hands. Timing is what I would consider. Where was B1 when the contact with A2 occurred? Was the QB Running toward his side such that B1 was making a legal block in order to tackle the runner? Or, was the QB scrambling such that A2 might have been a potential receiver.
I remember a game a few years ago where late in the game, score A - 13, B - 17, the QB was scrambling looking for a receiver, any receiver. A DB right in front of me held one of the receivers by the jersey. The QB managed to find another receiver further downfield.
My thought was the DB denied the QB a potential receiver, therefore, an advantage was gained.
