Ed Hickland missed one thing when he said K could never recover and advance the muffed punt. K can advance it if the kick is recovered behind the neutral zone. This is significant in that if they recover as such, advance and fumble R is now able to advance if they recover and the player who gave the signal may block. His prohibition to blocking ends when the kick ends which 99.99999999% of the time is also the end of the down.This is the only time that I know of that this prohibition isn't the end of the down but the end of the kick as specified in the rule book.
