If the whole rule change was for player safety, then why allow players to jump the line at all? Wagner only touched his teammates for balance when he was already at the apex of his jump (no leverage needed), because it's an instinctual thing to do when catching your feet on someone can flip you onto your face. Not allowing the jumper to touch anyone for stabilization and balance seems counter-intuitive to safety if they're going to allow line hurdling.
That means it was a judgment call, and I think the refs got it right. If Minnesota had done it to us, I wouldn't even be mad about it. Blocking FGs is rare enough as it is; it's nice to see athleticism involved as opposed to someone just failing to contain the edge, which is about the only other time a FG is blocked that isn't the direct result of a crappy hold/kick.
