If a defender can contact a runner who is attempting to kick the ball, his contact is always legal. He can tackle him before the kick is made and he can tackle him while he is attempting to kick. It's basically the same a tackling a QB who wants to pass. If you hit him before or as he is passing, no roughing. If you hit either on after the kick or pass is gone, that's when you get into the roughing penalties.
