see the play after the initial contact

Even if both bodies go to the floor on a blind screen with hard contact, there may not be a foul. This needs to be determined by the defensive player's actions AFTER he makes contact. If his legs keep driving through the position where the screener was, YES he has now not tried to avoid the screen. If he tries to change direction or quits pumping his legs, the contact is a legal part of the game.

Remember, the screener did his job and got his teammate open as the play was designed. Therefore, if the defender does nothing out of the ordinary, it is a "play on".
