Q2: Sorry I'm a day late.

Interesting points about 6.2.6 being brought up. Now for a spin on this. What if this were a punt (ie: a HIGH kick) and R attempted to catch the ball 1 yard beyond the NZ (note: he's still in the ENZ). Assuming he muffs the ball and K recovers who's ball is it?

Now before you're quick to answer here's a couple of rules to look at. There's 6.2.6 which mentions a LOW scrimmage kick. But now consider rule 5.1.3f which uses the word "beyond" in considering who gets the ball.

Hope you're all with me here. A LOW kick gets ignored and you only award to R if it's a muff BEYOND the ENZ. But what about INSIDE the ENZ. Who would you award the ball to?
