Running into or roughing the kicker can occur between the time the ball is kicked and when the kicker has a chance to return to an upright position. Thanks to the folks on this forum and Rogers Redding that is perfectly clear to me.

If you are talking about the Pittsburgh-Tennessee game, the kicker was completing but had not completed his motion, therefore, he was still a kicker.

The question I always ask when the kicker is contacted, is he (the kicker) in position to contact the opposing player. If not, flag it!
