Something that just occured to me during discussion in another thread. While a punt is in the air, R1 gives a fair catch signal, but the ball is caught by R2. We all know that the ball is dead when R2 catches the ball. Do we allow R the opportunity to free kick?
The wording of 6-5-3 states "If, after a receiver signals, the catch is made by a teammate, it is not a fair catch but the ball becomes dead." So R has to snap the ball?
