And that is a big difference. One is a 10 yard penalty, the other is a 15 yard penalty.
Based on the OP, I am only going to call this a foul (illegal use of hands BTW) if there is little question that a receiver was going to block then the contact is mostly on the defender. There has to be some advantage for this play, not just some little contact. This is something I usually talk players out of as a Back Judge when it is suspect. Some teams teach this more than others and at the high school level it is usually easy to pick those teams out based on their actions. Many go "head hunting" to hit anyone that is around them even if they are clearly not a threat.
