You guys ( and I don't mean you specifically) are making this much, much harder then it should be.
Granted the NF has done a terrible job in meshing PSK into the rules.
If we are going for changes to rules now, then the rule portion that says the ball has to first cross this line before a foul can be considered to be a PSK foul needs to be deleted and a definition of scrimmage kick play inserted.
If they were the first to have invented PSK, I could live with it, but they are not and a perfectly good working model exists and is easy to officiate by.
But back to your point of the ball trajectory. There is nothing to my knowledge in the rule that says the flight of the ball must come directly from leaving a kickers foot. We could have a terrible kick that bounces off the centers rear end or a blockers helmet. Or for that matter after hitting the ground. Therefore I believe the intent/spirit/interpretation of how to properly call this would be that any touching by team-R in the ExNZ is to be ignored as long as the ball status is that of a kick.
Do you believe/agree?
If not, well go for an intrepretation.
