Punt by K from K48, as R80 is waiting in position to catch punt at the 20 (no fair catch called), R80 is crushed with a blindside block by K10.
R80's helmet is knocked off, and he falls to the ground as the ball hits him and then a few other players. R80 does not participate in the play, as he stays on the ground as chaos ensues around him. As R80 is lying on the ground helmet-less on his side, the ball rolls right to his stomach, and he simply hugs the ball without reaching, and rolls to his stomach.
We have an obvious flag for K10's block, and possible ejection....
(a) Do we have anything on R80 for securing the ball when it rolled right to him? Is this illegal participation, or are we waiving it in this circumstance?
(b) If someone without a helmet is in a pile of chaos, and we know who will have the ball because of a foul, is there any way for safety we can kill the play? In the above play, any player could have slid into R80's face in the chaos.
Ball was recovered at the R16.
