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.

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.

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.

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.

I thought he was going for some unique sky ball for a second

Sucks he had to be put in that position. 

He's been in that position many times this season..... They've onside kicked with him a lot this season.

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.

Can’t the receiving team fair catch a sky ball?

if its bounced off the ground first- no.  so if he drop kicks it, the fair catch cant be called. but it either needs to hit the ground before he kicks it, or hits the ground right after he kicks it to avoid the fair catch issue.

dickson will have it perfected by training camp. they'll just start doing it for fun next year.

Yea that seems like it would of worked out better by having him kick it from the tee.....

you have no idea what you’re talking about.  

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?

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.

you can fair catch a drop kick like dickson has done before.  the ball does not touch the ground after he makes contact with it.  it can be fair caught. 

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.

Well, now, there's a charity I've never heard of.

Perhaps they should have got a real production company to do the ad instead of the local High School as a school project.

I personally prefer to give Water Buffalo. Because, you know.... Water Buffalo.

Ha! That and Lifewater are two of my favorite foreign charities.

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.

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?

Love to see Horn brotherhood in the NFL.

Kris signed the shirt that Dickson is holding "Take me to fucking Australia. Love you bro."
