REPLY: First, begin with the definition of a "kicker" (NF 2-30-8. Then apply NF 9-4-4 which clearly defines 'roughing' as contact with the kicker (a defined term) or the holder (also defined in 2-30). If this were not the case, what would the defense be able to do if the punter just held onto the ball?
