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 rulebookAcutually, 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.
