The right of the kickers to advance their recovered scrimmage kick depends entirely upon whether the kick is recovered in, behind or beyond the neutral zone. Whether the kick went beyond the neutral zone and then rebounded behind it is of no consequence. The spot of recovery is the only factor. If the recovery is in or behind the neutral zone, K may advance. If the recovery is beyond the neutral zone, K may recover, but may not advance.

Interesting play!

I haven't seen this one and would expect it to be very difficult to execute. But, I'm already getting a headache if this becomes this year's "Play de jour".

Difficult play to execute but consider a punt that is blocked and recovered by K behind the line.

This past season had a punt blocked by B high into the air, recovered by A's punter behind the LOS, who runs with the ball across the line of scrimmage then throws a forward pass.
