Dead Ball foul or Roughing or neither

From this:

If it was obviously way after the whistle, then it makes no difference what kind of play it might've been had the ball been live; it's a personal foul, UR, possibly disqualifying. You might have 2 dead ball fouls penalized in order: delay of game on the kicker, then the personal foul.


But sports officiating doesn't work like law court, with choice of defenses. You're not allowed to stipulate stuff, handle legs of contingency separately.

I try very hard to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are actually interested in discussing a play and determining what should happen - but I honestly have NO IDEA what your point is with the rest of this. And at this point I am not sure I care... add this to the inane "What if he goes around the field" nonsense and I'm sure I don't care.

Read the OP again. He has a personal foul, he is just asking whether is roughing or a dead ball PF.

Anything else is your own inference.
