Interesting to compare the opinions in this thread to those we had a while back regarding blocking below the waist in cases where the action seemed accidental or a byproduct of other intended action.

What about where the contact could be said to be unintended but foreseen? Ever hear of the shoeshine or superman block? An OL dives prone parallel to the lines of scrimmage, and against a tightly packed defense can often take out 2 defenders using his body from shoulders to hips. However, in the ensuing backroll he can also easily leg whip or at least trip an opponent close to the position he left to do the move; is that tripping if it looks like a byproduct of his intended move?
