Defenders are hurting themselves by embellishing and/or exaggerating the contact.

We're all going to see things differently at times but to me it doesn't appear the defender is moving forward outside his vertical plane. Sure, his chest puffs out but that might have been a method of absorbing the contact. Regardless, I'm not seeing him move outside his vertical plane - i.e., in front of his feet. Assuming a defender is in LGP to begin with they're allowed to rise or jump vertically and occupy that space. They're not permitted to "belly up" or use their lower body to cause contact outside their vertical plane.
You didn't reference my entire quote. Defenders are making unnatural movements to embellish and/or exaggerate contact.

At the 17 second mark of the video the defender has turned his upper body at an angle. If this causes an official to see the play in a different light, that is the defender's fault.
