Just kidding of course.

While what you describe regarding the one-yard thing could feasibly happen, it probably wouldn't be called that way. Besides, a kick that low would just be called a block. Only officials with the keenest eyesight would be able to catch that particular play.

In your second scenario, you are correct sir. The kick would become a muffed kick because the next touch is by the player on "R" who is well beyond the NZ. This scenario has happened at least twice in the past two seasons for our crew. The only diff was that in each case, the scrimmage kick was a punt, not a FG attempt. The play became a kick once the ball passed the NZ (LOS). A player from R tried to pick the ball up and run, but muffed the kick, allowing K to recover.
