How so?
9-3-7 No member of the kicking team shall initiate contact to(block) an opponent on a free kick until:
a. The legal kick has traveled 10 yards;-
Ball is at the 48
b. The kicking team is eligible to recover a free-kicked ball;
Ball has travelled 8 yards and has not been touched by R
or
c. The receiving team initiates a block within the neutral zone.
"where team R player steps into the neutral zone to recover the kick." No mention of R blocking here.
