Guidelines on roughing passer

[Warrenkicker]

Was the contact avoidable? is my first. I'm not as concerned about a certain distance as avoidability. Also is it reasonably certain that a pass will be thrown?

Now even when the defender is a foreign exchange student from Belo-Russia, has never played the game before, can't speak the language very well yet, 5 steps is a liitle too much. At least he didn't hit the QB very hard but hard enough for the flag.
