Maybe I'm just dumb but why could he return it if it passed the line of scrimmage? I thought that was the rule

The defense can return it but for the offense to return it, it has to go past the line of scrimmage on 4th down I think.

On a blocked kick, if the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, it can be advanced by either team, but if it does cross the line of scrimmage, only the defense can advance it. If the kicking team touches the ball on a kick that crosses the line of scrimmage then it is downed like a punt. The only way the kicking team can regain possession on a blocked kick that crosses the line of scrimmage is if the defense touches the ball first. That's why coaches usually say to stay away from a blocked kick that crosses the line of scrimmage.
