No special protection for the snapper because A10 is not in a scrimmage kick formation (at least 10 yards deep). Snapper has usual protection against any personal foul.

  37. A.R. 9-1-14 III • Immediately after the snap, with Team A in a scrimmage kick formation, noseguard B71 attempts to “shoot the gap” between the snapper and the adjacent lineman. B71’s initial contact is with the lineman next to the snapper • RULING: Legal. Incidental contact with the snapper after this initial legal contact is not a foul

  43. Roughing or Running into the Kicker9-1-16-a • Kicker’s protection ends when (a) He has had a reasonable time to regain his balance or (b) He carries the ball outside the tackle box before kicking • No foul when defensive player’s contact is caused by an opponent’s block (legal or illegal) • No foul if player touches the kick and contacts the kicker or holder • Foul if a player other than the one who touches the kick runs into or roughs the kicker or holder • When in question, the foul is roughing

  46. A.R. 9-1-16 III • A1, from a non-scrimmage kick formation, makes a quick, unexpected kick so suddenly that B1 cannot avoid contact • RULING:Not roughing or running into since the rule applies only when it is obvious that a kick will be made

  47. A.R. 9-1-16 V • After B1 runs into the kicker, kicker A25 simulates being roughed • RULING: Offsetting fouls

  48. A.R. 9-1-16 VI • Team A is in a scrimmage kick formation. Punter A1 moves laterally two or three steps to recover a faulty snap, or recovers a snap that went over his head. B2 contacts A1 in an unsuccessful attempt to block the kick • RULING: A1 does not automatically lose his protection in either case unless he carries the ball outside the tackle box. While in the tackle box A1 is entitled to protection as in any other kicking situation. When it becomes obvious that A1 intends to kick in a normal punting position, defensive players must avoid him after he kicks the ball

  49. A.R. 9-1-16 VII • Punter A22 is 15 yards behind the neutral zone when he catches the long snap, sprints to his right at an angle toward the line of scrimmage, and runs outside the tackle box.
