Rich,
In my mind, if it is not an intentional act, and you aren't sure if it was in the NZ or downfield, I would err on the side of the NZ. If it was intentional it is a different story, but really if it hit him because the QB got hit, and he didn't even know it was coming, I am thinking it would be extreme to penalize him if you aren't sure if he is in or out or even if after checking you see that he is a step beyond the NZ....
