If the K player shoves the R blocker so that he stumbles 5-7 yards into the returner, I've got nothing.

If the K player drives the R blocker through continuous contact 5-7 yards into the returner, I've got KCI.

If the R blockers is within a yard or two... I think I'd want to see it. NF 6-5-6 will support a KCI call - "While ... any scrimmage kick is in flight, K shall not touch the ball or R unless blocked into the ball or R or to ward off a blocker ..." (emphasis mine) If K initiates contact with an R blocker who's standing very near the returner, causing a collision with the returner, I think I've got a flag. But I definitely want to see the play.
