Kicking play

This is what I first thought when I read the OP. That's a long way for a ball to roll and bobble around so he must have made foot contact. Therefore we still have a basic scrimmage kick.

Now if K1 was hit a split second after regaining his balance we would have "Illegal Blocking" since the "kicker" cannot be blocked before the kick has touched the ground or any other player?
