parepat - the original play was concerning a free kick. So if the kick has gone ten yards and been grounded, then K has just as much right to possess the ball as R. How long are you going to protect R?
I also agree that on a scrimmage kick, you are not going to let K blast the person who signalled a microsecond after it touches the ground.
Does R's protection end after R muffs the ball on a scrimmage kick?
