Scrimmage kick on 4th down (punt):

Team R player (unblocked) contacts the potential kicker as he releases the ball and BEFORE it is kicked. Two scenarios:

1) The kicker never makes contact with the ball and it squirts away. Contact is severe or not severe. My take: Fumble.

2) The kicker makes contact with the ball. Ruling?

By rule, is the punter only afforded protection if he kicks the ball?

Please don't answer this post if you are going to say that you would have to see the play. We'll assume if the contact is severe it is roughing and if not - running into.
