IÂ’m going to try and walk through this. DonÂ’t have my book with me so please be gentile with me if I get out of bounds. This is for NF
“4th down and 11 at the 50, K kicks the ball away, short kick that is muffed by R1”
A muff is not possession, the kick has not ended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“And rolls back behind the original LOS where it is picked up by K1 who runs to the R48”
No problem here as K can legally advance the ball because the recovery was behind the line of scrimmage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“And proceeds to complete a forward pass to K2 at the R38 and is tackled there”
Now we have a problem. K1 was beyond his LOS when he passed the ball. This is an illegal forward pass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
. K3 and K4 are standing at the R45 when the pass is completed as they have gone downfield to cover the kick.
IÂ’m going to assume you mean K3 and K4 are linemen with ineligible numbers. IÂ’m also assuming you tossed this in to try to confuse me (which isnÂ’t too hard to do LOL 8^). this could be ineligible down field if this was a legal forward pass. But in this play, no foul.
Best thing for R to do is accept the penalty for the illegal forward pass. This foul is enforced from the end of K1Â’s run and also carries a loss of down. Because it was 4th down the ball turns over making it R 1/10 @ R-43 clock on the snap.
If for some reason R declines this foul (^8 they might have a cretin ref who would make them if they were way ahead on points 8^) K 1/10 R-38 clock on the ready.
My enforcement being correct hinges on my intact memory (might have gotten damaged last night) and this foul actually carrying a loss of down provision
