No, I'm saying your absolutes about what a person's body does when moving one foot are nonsense. I can move my foot all day long without it affecting my torso

The ONLY question that has to be answered is whether the defender was moving forward at the time of contact or not.
His right foot is replanted before contact so the only way it would be a block is if A1 had been airborne.
