March 26, 20187 yr Never has a punter fucked a team so hard. Mizzou is still feeling the effects of Dicko's dingus.

March 27, 20187 yr Last year, Dicko punting was the most exciting thing our team did while on offense. I’m gonna miss him, but I hope we never have a punter see the field ever again.
March 27, 20187 yr Who else punted last year? Dicko’s average and the plaque’s average don’t match up. Somebody brought down the team’s numbers.

According to Sports Reference, it was just Dickson. But, that plaque says "Net Punting Average", which would include returns.

April 1, 20187 yr Does anyone have any highlight videos of his best punts strung together? I can find individual clips, but no full length video and that is a crime considering how good he is.

April 1, 20187 yr I went to games a full hour early the last couple of years just to watch Dicko warm up. He'd stand on the south goal line and punt it to the north 25 yard line over and over. It was amazing.
April 1, 20187 yr UDFA? It would be beyond idiotic of NFL teams to not draft this guy. He is an unbelievable weapon and will lock up that position for 20 years. Far more valuable than a 5th round project at any other position.

I mean that's true, but then I have to skip through it to get to his punts. I was more wondering if one of those Shaggy video elites could whip up a highlight video/if they knew of one I was unable to find via Google.

April 1, 20187 yr The 41 year old fat aggy punter was drafted in the 5th round in 2000. I bet Dickson goes in the 4th or 5th round.
April 3, 20187 yr Author https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-michael-dickson-punter-extraordinaire Quote Field position is huge in the NFL, and as much as it is important to be able to move the ball on offense, having a punter who can steal you an extra five yards between drives by pinning the returner to the sideline can be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful drive for any opponent. Coincidentally, that could also help the defense get the ball back for the offense in better field position. It’s one of the things that doesn’t get discussed much, but having a better punter than your opponent can be a big factor in winning any game that turns into a field position battle. The gulf between the top punters in the NFL and those who don’t quite make the grade is stark, so there are plenty of teams who could be in the market to add some youth at the position this year. It just so happens that former Texas punter Michael Dickson produced not only the highest grade at the position in 2017, but the highest grade we’ve ever given to a punter in four seasons of college football grading. Dickson led the nation in a number of categories in 2017, including an average of 44.2 net yards per punt, a full 1.6 yards higher than Texas A&M’s Shane Tripucka in second place among all punters to play in at least 10 games this past season. His 47.5 yards per punt also ranked at the top, while his 42 punts inside the 20-yard line were five more than any other punter this season. Dickson was also named as the Texas Bowl MVP after an 11-punt game in which he knocked a massive 10 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. A performance reminiscent of Graham Gano’s MVP winning performance as both a kicker and a punter in the Champ’s Sports Bowl victory in 2008 for Florida State over Wisconsin. Where Dickson really separates himself though is in his PFF grade, and his 2017 performance was a new record for our college grading, by a considerable margin. Special teams in college are much more primitive than in the NFL and we often see players with great raw tools massively improving grade wise with NFL coaching. That is great news for the team that drafts Dickson, or brings him in as an undrafted free agent, because his base level is far higher than anyone to come along in the past four years – he’s basically the Aaron Donald of college punters. So which teams could be candidates to draft Dickson during the NFL Draft later this month? Here’s three that make a lot of sense: Philadelphia Eagles Donnie Jones retired after winning the Super Bowl with the Eagles in February and while it was great for him to go out on top, it leaves the Eagles with a hole to fill at the position. Jones was tied for 13th among punters in the NFL with a 41.2 net yard average in 2017, but he was tied for just 26th with 23 punts inside the 20-yard line. Chicago Bears The Bears recently re-signed Pat O’ Donnell, but it was just to a one-year deal, so there isn’t much to keep them from drafting a potential replacement, especially after O’Donnell ranked tied for just 25th in the NFL with a 39.7 net yard average. Oakland Raiders The Raiders cut Marquette King last week, saving $3 million in cap room but leaving them with a huge hole on special teams as King the third-highest graded punter in the NFL in 2017. He ranked fourth in net yardage, averaging 42.7 net yards per punt. With a top-five punter leaving, could they draft the nation’s top punter to replace him?

April 3, 20187 yr Hopefully he doesn’t get drafted by Cleveland. He can probably overcome their suckitude but hopefully we wont have to.
April 3, 20187 yr 3 hours ago, ousux said: Never heard of the IRS? Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk True. I've also heard ex-wives and their lawyers fall into this category.

A cellar dweller team would get immediately better with Dicko. The stats around avg starting field position and scoring across the league are pretty remarkable. For a guy that can kill it inside the 20 80% of the time, that translates to a massive bump for defensive statistics. I remember Al Davis drafting Janikowski in the first round 20 years ago. This would be a draft pick that I wouldn't think twice about in round 3 or 4 if I were an aggressive GM looking to find the final pieces for a playoff run. Edited April 3, 20187 yr by Vertigo
April 8, 20187 yr Baltimore should draft him and dominate the rest of league via kicking.That would be awesome. That would have the best special teams in the league by far for years to come.
