I too am bothered by the pass first.
Rule:2-23-4 states that the kick must initiate behind the neutral zone.
If the initial pass were backward:
1. Kicker is not protected but still a legal kick. May still be so if pass is forward, but kick occurs behind neutral zone, having not crossed and returned.
2. Kicker not protected in any case. Rule requires 7 yard horiz. sep from snapper. See rules for scrimmage kick formation.
