WHAT WOULD U CALL?

scrimmage kick by K 1 is very high, so R2 signals for a fair catch, he lets the kick hit the ground. After the kick hits the ground he decides to run. What would call?

Did you mean, "he decides to run with the ball after recovering it"?

The ball becomes dead (but is not a fair catch) as soon as R recovers, after any R player gives a fair catch signal. Technically, a player who runs with the ball in this situation is guilty of delay of game, but it's another one of those situations where I'd be hard-pressed to call it.
