Find the illegal block! (video play)

Check out the video here
(click here for the slow motion version of the play)

Just to give you a little information that is not found on the video, after the play was over and the penalty enforced, the down was replayed from the 30 yard line. The penalty called was an IBIB, so it should have occurred around the 40.

The block by the slot receiver on the left side around the 30 yard line looks suspect, but that's the only one that I can find.

Let me know your thoughts.

Which official threw the flag?
I agree, the slot on the 30 is the only thing I see.

According to the referee, the linesman threw the flag

The block at the 30 was on the side at the shoulder and legal. Philosophically, a block in the back should only be called on blocks at the numbers. This block wasn't close. Bad call.

You're screen and vision are both probably better than mine. From what I see it probably could have been called but this apparently wasn't the block that drew the flag.

The right side SE runs all the way across the field and is coming back at about the 42 when he hits a defender (looks to be from the side but is close). This is FAR from the point of attack. If it is a foul it probably should be for a personal foul, not a BIB.

I think I found it. The camera is panning away from the HL's side of the field when a Team A player appears to contact a Team B player at about the 40 knocking both the Team B player and his teammate to the ground. If the HL did throw a flag the camera would not have picked it up.

However, what I thought I saw was a fairly good heads up contact and not a block in the back.

This block looked clearly in the back to me (the block :06 seconds into the movie at the 32).

This is the only block that I could see as being illegal.

However, my laptop's display isn't the highest resolution that is out there, so often when viewing amateur video with this screen, I wish I had a better view.

The block by the slot receiver is the only one I see.

And it is very clearly a BIB in my opinion.
