Here is how I break the play down (and yes I included an aweful lot!)

4/10 from K-20. Snapper K1 snaps ball to K7. K7 misses snap and ball is rolling around. While the ball is rolling around, K25 holds R99 at the K-18.

Flag the holding during a loose ball play.

K7 picks the ball up and advances to the K-23. Not knowing exactly where he is, he kicks the ball away like a punt.

Illegal kicking because he kicked the ball after crossing the neutral zone. We now have nothing more than a fumble


After the kicked ball is away and while K7 still has not regained his balance, R85 levels K7 with what otherwise would be a legal block.

We cannot have roughing the kicker because he did not legally kick the ball. That was what I was trying to illustrate.

R19 signals for a fair catch

All we have is a player waving his hand beause the ball was not legally kicked. It is NOT an illegal or invalid signal.

but muffs the "punt" at the R-43 and K83 goes downfield, secures possession of the ball at the R-40

Perfectly legal AND a live ball because K82 has recovered a fumble and not a kick.

and runs the ball for an apparent touchdown.

Results of the play is a touchdown for K. R won't accept that option.

R can take the holding penalty for 4/21 @ K-9.
R can take the illegal kicking penalty for 4/17.5 @ K-12.5.


BTW, you guys are too good. Great job!
