Doesn't the illegal contact rule go out the window and you can put a receiver on his arse?

I think the new rules says you cant touch the WR at all after 5 yards.

Nah, it still exists.
quote:

Note: Once the quarterback hands off or pitches the ball to a back, or if the quarterback leaves the pocket area, the restrictions (illegal chuck, illegal cut) on the defensive team relative to the offensive receivers will end, provided the ball is not in the air.

So you can knock them down. I think that defensive holding still applies.

ETA: Yeah, it definitely does, since defensive holding applies on runs.

Yeah you can't hold and still can't block in the back. It's a risky move because the guy could turn and draw a call, you could miss, etc.

It's best saved for when a QB scrambles in the red zone you just knock the shite out of him because it's a smaller area to work with.
