Bob M. You make a good argument re my previous points. I agree that until a receiver gets to the same yardline as the defender, the defender has the right to contact the receiver and the receiver has no right to initiate contact, even if the defender is in his way, (assuming of course that the play is a pass play). That said, when the receiver is going past the defender and the defender keeps initiating contact to disrupt the receiver's route, then I think you've got to address it. If the ball goes the other way I'll usually talk to the defender the first time. If he then keeps doing it, I'll use the flag. Position of the passer is a consideration. If the passer rolls right and my receiver/defender action is over on the left sideline, I'll probably just talk to the player.
Good discussion all!
