January 6, 20196 yr Author Just now, Patrick Bateman said: He doesn't like to..... I think he was trying to pop it up almost straight up and just didn't execute. Yep, hit it too high.
January 6, 20196 yr Bounced up on him and came off the ankle instead of the toe.Yep looked like was trying to get the toe under it and hit it way up high, but it came off his ankle.
January 6, 20196 yr a skyhigh drop kick that goes 10-20 yards that becomes a defacto jump-ball seems like it could be the future of onside kicking. Edited January 6, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007

Honestly, youre totally right, sounds like a good strategy, someone will try it. Then the league will ban it because of the high speed collisions or whatever.

January 6, 20196 yr A lot is an exaggeration, but he hasn’t been much better. Although I do believe Janikowski has NEVER had a successful onside in his career.

January 6, 20196 yr Yea that seems like it would of worked out better by having him kick it from the tee.....

January 6, 20196 yr There's the fair catch kick rule that's obscure but has been done before. If you fair catch a kick, you have the option to then kick from that spot, either a drop kick or place kick for 3pts. Phil Dawson was the last player to attempt it and its only been successful once in the past 50 years. Kick is made from the spot of the catch, defense is not allowed to block it, thus trajectory is not an issue i believe a fair catch can only be called if the ball has not hit the ground during the kick. Since its legal to have someone hold the ball on kickoff if necessary, I wonder if the holder could keep the ball held backwards so the kicker could hit much more of a wedge kick, short and up?

January 23, 20196 yr So with the final recruiting rankings coming out here over the next few days, I wonder if we were to go back and re-rank Dicko, where would he ultimately end up in 247's rankings? Based on being the number 149 player taken in the draft, he would be a high 4 star, which is apparently what 247 bases its rankings on. For some perspective, that's 6 spots higher than Jake Smith is currently ranked. Anyway, Michael Dickson is good.

January 25, 20196 yr I'd think he might have better luck with a hard rugby-style kick-pass right at an unsuspecting player. Hope for a muffed catch and jump on it.
March 25, 20196 yr It's actually a pretty cool organization:Heifer International I personally prefer to give Water Buffalo. Because, you know.... Water Buffalo.

March 30, 20196 yr Found no other place to put this, so adding info to this thread ..... Story on funny and unusual things punters do during practices. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26358527/the-trick-shot-killing-practice-habits-college-punters-kickers
May 31, 20196 yr Congrats to Dicko for being named to the NFL.com All-Under 25 Team. https://seahawkswire.usatoday.com/2019/05/30/seahawks-punter-michael-dickson-named-to-nfl-all-under-25-team/
May 31, 20196 yr Before Dicko started doing his thing, punting was pretty boring and really rudimentary. It seemed to follow the same equation of just kicking it and trying to flip the field. Now, it's legitimately weaponized for pinning the opposing offenses deep in their own territory. I'm wondering when punt returners will be asked to try and screen the first gunner so they have a harder time keeping the ball from being a touchback. It's doubtful that more than the one returner will be put back there.

Credit to some smaller schools for picking it up first - Tom Hornsey (Memphis), Tom Hackett (Utah), and Mitch Wishnowsky (Utah) were all Aussies and they won the Ray guy the four years before Dicko did.
August 5, 20196 yr what does he mean when he says the NFL has a different launch point than in college? is he talking about the shape of the football in ncaa vs nfl and how that comes off his foot?
