    Even if completely stopping the ball from moving was not a violation:

    The outside circle cannot actually prevent opponents from getting to the ball, that’s obstruction. You can’t set a screen in football while ignoring the ball.

    So you have two players forced to move in an awkward way. The defenders are just going to push them off the ball with a shoulder to shoulder push.

      A shoulder to shoulder push?!

      Those two players are going to be rolling in pain for hours.

        Happens all the time in football.
