Question on hitting player already OB

[ABoselli]

Well, I guess so, but he'd have to have long arms.

I wonder why they put the 'go out of bounds to hit a..' part in there instead of just saying that you can't hit a K player who is OB.

There's a reference to scrimmage kicks and the restrictions (or lack of) on R vs. the gunners in the Markbreit column this week.
