PSK
The way I understand PSK is that the offense is giving up possession by punting. So this is an exception to the loose ball penalty enforcement rule and a slight modification to the double foul/change of possession/clean hands doctrine.
As long as the 4 requirements for PSK are met, R can retain possession of the ball when they decline K's foul and accept penalization of their foul.
The 4 requirements for PSK are:
R fouls on their side of the expanded neutral zone before the end of the kick (can be before or during the kick).
K makes a legal scrimmage kick that crosses the neutral zone.
The kick ends beyond the neutral zone (on R's side).
R is in team possession at the end of the down.
I think discussing these plays are good exercise. Hope I got it right...
