When the kickers catch or recover any free kick anywhere, and when the kickers catch or recover a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone and when the kickers are first (i.e., before any touching by the receivers) to touch a scrimmage kick after it has come to rest beyond the neutral zone and between the goal lines.     Ruling on Film Clip:     You bet - but not for cutting the Umpire, but for an ineligible down field.     Contact Bruce Hook at sloa.secretary@hotmail.com  if you disagree or want more information.
