[QUOTE="DePack, post: 90798, member: 210"] You are talking about a crackback block which is illegal if you are a wideout or lineup as a wideout and go in motion toward the ball. They define wideout as anything two yards outside the tackle. Wideouts can block below the waste downfield or if they are moving away from the ball. Favre's case doesn't fit any of the scenarios. Favre throws the old fashioned "body blocks". It is also illegal to block below the waste if you are on the line of scrimmage and the defender is being blocked by another offensive player. This sometimes happens with the "zone blocking" scheme that the Packers are installing. I'm not sure how clear this is but I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
