Often the flag is thrown to land at the spot of enforcement for that foul. At other times the foul is thrown to land at the point of foul, which often is a spot of enforcement.

I don't think that your view of the block is annoying - NFL officials get calls wrong each week. The NFL Total Access/Official Review threads will show NFL video with such plays. There is a very high degree of certainty that the official was correct, but still....
As for areas, the simple explanation for
Canadian 7-person mechanic for KO returns is that initially the deep wings have the first two players from the sidelines (1 and 2), the restraining line wings have the next two (3 and 4), and the kicking line officials have the next players in (5 and 6). When the ball carrier is established, we use zone coverages, and surrounding officials have blocking with further officials picking up the crap away from the play.
