Pass Block poser?

IIRC a Pass block player must get to an interception place.

Now if this is set up correctly and the passer has shadowing he could shadow the player?

I know this is one of the most unlikely situations but it could put the Pass blocker at a disadvantage.

For example the Passblocker is moving in front of the passer and has to dodge across the passer's tackle zone. The advantage could be to prevent the Passblock intercepting.

The point is can the passer after declaring a pass, and the Passblocker moves, can the passer use shadow? If it's an AG4 Passblocker keeping a TZ on him may help.

You can only use Shadowing when an opposing player moves out of your tackle zone during their action. Pass Block is just movement and not an action itself.

So the Thrower cannot Shadowing an opposing playing while he(the thrower) is acting.

you can also move to a square in the Thrower/catchers TZ (even behind him)or if the target is an empty square, that square
