Any fouls by the receiving team would still be enforced under the all but one principle as always. If the receivers tried a pass during a run back, it would be penalized like any illegal forward pass would.
Basically my thought would be once the kicking team gives up it's right to the ball by kicking it away, then any penalties would be enforced like a running play once the R has secured possession of the ball.
Just a thought. Most times that is how it happens anyway, and I would think that it would simplify officiating kicks.
Just a thought. Jim
