Question about fair catch

[DJ_NV]

That's exactly right. It's almost like the reverse mentality of what a FC is all about.

While the FC gives R the protection from being hit by K (and therefore K is holding back), that same R player can't go and slam a K player.

If K's going to leave him alone, then that particular R player should have to leave K alone. It certainly makes trying to figure out who did what and when easier.

If R signals and blocks, it's a foul. Period. (except for Bob's example and then all hell will be breaking loose anyway so we all will probably have forgotten about the FC signal--not that it matters as R's restriction would be off anyhow)
