Linemen downfield on punts

[eulessau 115]

Question for the refs out there.  What is the rule on interior lineman downfield on punts.  Seems like these delayed rugby style kick like Ole Miss executed would put the linemen well beyond where they allowed to be.

Ineligible receiver downfield applies only to pass plays.

There is no restriction anywhere in the book for lineman on punts.

instead of creating a separate thread for it?
