It appeared the play design was for get the CB to move w/ Yoshi; as you can get his first step is to the sideline, but when he saw the CB making a beeline to the spot, he was no longer in a position to block him.

I know that didn't answer your question but I assume the receiver can block anyone he wants as soon as the ball is snapped, but then again I've seen them flagged for setting picks (Ironic).
