If it's a low scrimmage kick, touching is ignored in the EXPANDED neutral zone.
So R has 2 yards to deal with, and I'm betting that's where the LB was when he blocked it.
Can't speak to NFL rules, but I bet it's similar, and I know every other person on the field seemed to know what the rule was except Dr. Lett. But I'm a Dolphons fan, so needless to say I laaaaaauuuuuugggghhhheeeedddddd very hard indeed. It still makes me smile to think about it.
