Kicking Game-1 Blocking after a signal- Play 10: Fourth and 10 on team R's 40 yardline. While K1's punt is in flight, R2 and R3 give valid fair catch signals at team R's 12 yardline. The ball hits t... he ground at team R's seven yardline. R2 blocks K4, who is attempting to down the ball near team R's goalline. The block is above the waist and from the front. - ANS-Ruling 10: R2 is guilty of an illegal block because he gave a fair catch signal, then blocked before the kick ended. Blocking after a signal- Play 11: Fourth and 10 on team K's 15 yardline. While K1's short punt is in flight, R2 gives a valid fair catch signal at team K's 24 yardline. The ball hits the ground at team K's 17 yardline and is untouched when it ricochets back behind the neutral zone. K3 recovers the ball and begins a legal advance. R2 blocks K4.
