Roughing the kicker scenarios
Scenario #1 - Defender jumps up and slightly forward to block a punt. Defender is already in the air as the ball makes contact with the kickers foot. Kick is not blocked. Defender lands almost face to face with the kicker and momentum has him fall on the kicker. Penalty of roughing the kicker has been called.
Scenario #2 - Defender makes the block on a PAT and hits the kicker's planted leg while his kicking leg is still in the air in the same motion. No penalty called.
Were these penalties assessed correctly?
