As well as "bowling over" or are they separate fouls?

HLinNC didn't address the legality of the kick. He said "Legal" then a dash, then "ball has traveled 10 yards," meaning once the ball travels beyond the receiving line, K can contact R.
Once any of the 3 conditions in 9-3-8 are met, K can contact R. Think about it. Do you really think that on a kick to R's 1 yard line, no one is making contact until the returner touches the ball.
