That's how I'm leaning. You can always go with "excessive force" if the foot made excessive contact, hence the intentional foul.

On an unrelated angle...If the player, with that foot, had contacted the ball instead of the arm, would have you called a kicked ball and killed the shot?

I think you'd have to. If you block the shot with an arm, there's a chance you can recover the ball. If you use the leg, the consequence is that the other team gets the ball automatically.
