Otherwise it seems to be a smart special play team play right now.

Yeah but...if a fair catch is signalled everyone on the kicking team should steer clear of the receiver. Westbrook shouldn't have been in the vicinity to get blocked into Randle-El. I don't know but that was one screwed up play that really turned the game over to Carolina. Too bad the defense couldn't have stopped the TD and held them to a Field Goal.

Yeah, but when you are blocking you can't always see when the fair catch is being called or where the returner is. It seems like the smart play is stay engaged with the blocker and steer him into the returner. It is Westbrook's fault, but it also isn't right that this can be done. There will be a rule change.
