Soon to have a whole section of precedents for how to treat Ocho's shennanigans, and what to fine him.....just refer to the Ochocinqo section of the NFL rulebook:DAcutually, this whole section of rules has to do with prohibited conduct.

Even if it isn't allowed what is the penalty? If it is only a 5 yarder you could still make them kick it again from 56.

The rules against goaltending allow the referee to award the kicking team 3 points, and, since it is prohibited conduct, a 15 yard penalty.
