straight arm

[Texoma_LJ]

The reason I proposed the question was based on reading Rule 2-3 "The blocker may not intitate contact with his arm or hand against an opponent above the opponent's shoulder..."
But in reading thru the rules further I did find in rule 9-2-1 "An offensive player (except the runner) shall not (a) use a blocking technique which is not permissible by rule. Specifically 2-3-2,3.

This supports your answers... thanks !!!
