Based on the bare bone words used to describe the play, I cannot agree that this is DPI. It's OPI to me. If you want to change the play to make it more a DPI, then so be it. But as it stands, this play goes against team-A.

I became curious on how to categorize this play according to the guidelines put out by the NFL on OPI.

Three guidelines:
- Blocking downfield
- Shoving or pushing off defender
- Driving through the defender

The answer is the latter.
