Ah, that's where I read it.. In the case book.

The ENZ is there for team-B one reason, to allow them to touch a low scrimmage kick and not have that act make the ball eligible for a recovery by team-A.

It disolves and becomes a non-factor once the kicked ball has gone past it.


The same principle applies for linemen on pass plays. The ENZ disolves once the pass has gone beyond just the NZ. If not, we would have tons of flags for linemen illegally being downfield until every pass was caught and the running play has started.
