There are rules in place to protect defenseless players - a player catching a punt, a receiver focused on the ball and jumping, the QB, etc.

The player in the play you describe was defenseless ... but not because of what he was doing. He was defenseless by choice and stupidity. If he's not catching the ball, there's no reason for him to be defenseless. Idiot should have protected himself, or even been initiating the contact himself, blocking.
