Like if you saw Drew Brees try this in the 2012 Pro bowl and then Doug Flutie commented that he did it and then you came to search it on youtube!! hahaha
@oldhippie6262 The ball has to bounce off the ground first for it to be a drop kick. A modern football is more pointed (designed to improved passing) and harder to have a bounce go straight back up. In earlier versions, the ball was more rounded like a rugby ball and easier to get a good bounce.
@DizdatHuupti Are you serious ?? He has great hands(can catch anything) and is very elusive with blazing speed..Can you imagine Calvin Johnson playing wing catching the ball in full stride...GAME OVER !!!!. And he's 6'5 240 and shredded so have fun getting in his way
@DizdatHuupti Anybody 6'5 240 LBS Who can run 100 Meters in 10.23 seconds has a 43 inch vertical is strong as hell, has great flex ability & footwork along with soft hands wouldn't be worthless playing rugby..in fact they would tear it up.
@Moraud5386 Kicked PAT's received 1 point. Run or Pass completion PAT's receive 2. A field goal attempt can either be place kicked or drop kicked....either receive 3 points.
3. A Free kick (after a called fair catch for example) can either be drop kicked or place kicked without snapping the football....this is 3 points. I recall Paul Hornung kicking one in from 52 yards in about 1962 on a fair catch free kick just before half time.
@Username01793 Haha I just checked your Channel! You've been trolling on rugby videos since you joined hahaha Sad Life. NFL is one of the most boring games I've ever watched so have fun trying to convert anybody who has watched Rugby or any other sport out there that doesn't stop every 3 seconds.
@dropturdsonyou Best athletes in all aspects ? How fast can they run the 100 meters ? What kind of vertical do they have ? What kind of hand eye coordination do they have ? Brock Lesnar was cut from the NFL and he joined the WWE lol. choking somebody out doesn't make you a athlete. MMA workouts are legendary and those guys are tough as nails but that doesn't make them elite athletes lol.
@Username01793 It actually most certainly does haha. But this is stupid. You are just another American kid who wants to feel like they play the toughest sport ever so I guess I'll just let you live on in blissful ignorance and I have things to do now so whatever. Good luck to you in the real world!
@Username01793 And Lesnar didn't succeed in the NFL becauce he didn't have the skills to compete at that level. He had the athleticism, no question, but he lacked skills. I agree "best athletes in all aspects" might be a bit misleading; few world class rugby players are faster than, say, Devin Hester. But on the other hand, ever heard of Jonah Lomu? He's 6'5'', 275 pounds and in his peak could run a 10.8 100 meter, on grass, in cleats. he's like a taller faster Brandon Jacobs.
@Devin21708 Well it can be worth 1 point for a PAT and 3 points for a field goal. and this how they originaly did it then they changed the shape of the ball and then they swichedto place kicking
Now thats the first time I've seen that attempted in pro football lol if a team from the nfl mixed in some rugby plays, it would be so much better to watch lol
I understand the whole drop kick thing from years ago when nfl rules were derived from rugby. Bellichek is just silly here..I do want to know why Defense didn't go kick his ass. Cuz NE was already up by 21pts.. Bellichek...he's silly....Dumbass!
@99lightning99 It was actually a loss for NE. Their playoff seeding was already set, and they benched Brady in the second half, so Belichik just called the play for the sake of novelty.
@AUfan543 I've been trying to find proof of it, but all I can find is a story saying Tuilagi bench pressed 250kg which is a little over 550 pounds. Which is certainly impressive and definitely beats out Sheridan's 500, but I can't find anything for the 630 lb figure.
@Dresd I was told by a friend who said that he used to work out with him. You can ask him yourself if you want I will give you his facebook information.
@AUfan543 No offense intended to you and your friend, but I'd prefer something more official than someone claiming they worked out with him. I was asking more if you knew of a story of one of Tuilagi's team-mates going on record or Tuilagi himself stating the 630 pounds.
@jhinkle72 really? because if rugby is the fastest growing sport in america then my asshole tastes good. Dont pull facts out of your ass rugby doesnt even come on tv. Lacrosse and soccer are the fastest growing new leagues in america.
@module15 no cause ea sports is a fail lol but atleast we got the surprise onside kick this year take them like 10 more years to make the drop kick in madden lol
@hellzwind1 Yeah so... the reason this is a rarity isnt even because its hard its just because noone did one for 50+ years in a pro american football game. Its a lower percentage play than a typical field goal or extra point so its really just a novelty. It takes longer than a normal kick to get off so more likely to be blocked or flubbed. Still cool nonetheless to see flutie go out in a unique way.
@hellzwind1 ...maybe with a rugby ball or aussie rule ball but not so easy with an american football...the ends are more pointed which makes the bounce more unpredictable
@HectorSuxxx69 youre telling an australian how aussie rules players kick? there are many different styles of kicking created by aussies for footy, the drop kick was one of them;incorperated by american football for punts
@hellzwind1 and your telling a yank who has played gaelic football, rugby union, American football, and watched countless Aussie and International rules matches kicking skills. when was the last time you've seen an aussie rules player drop kick? and the drop kick is most definitely not used for a punt in American Football
Dropkicks have always been legal in the NFL. You just don't see it anymore because the ball is pointier on the ends than it used to be in the old days. It used to be rounder, like a rugby ball. Dropkicks happens all the time in rugby, but the American football changed shape to make it more aerodynamic for passing. (There are no forward passes in rugby.)
This wasn't a "gutsy" play. It was in a meaningless game where the Pats had already locked in their playoff seed position. Win or lose, nothing would have changed
I came here expecting a rugby drop kick in the NFL. Why the hell would you guys expect a person being drop kicked? The team is lined up in a field goal formation.
Also, kudos to Flutie. The shape of a football does not make drop kicks easy.
@Beast8185 Did you really just say drop kicks are 2 points? That is arena football you dumb ass. Drop kicked extra points are 2 and drop kicked field goals are 4 in arena.
@hollandfocus except the rugby ball and the football are different... the rugby ball bounces of the ground truer, whereas the football is unreliable because it is thinner to make it easier for passing... so in both sports it is harder for different reasons
@gravybars100 You can't really dropkick a football off its point, but if you get the right hold on it and drop it on a diagonal it bounces fairly predictably. I can't understand why this kick is such a big deal.. Also, all of the field goals attempted in football are from right infront of the posts with no angles to deal with, its stupid.
@happiest1084 Dude, they are right in front. The hashes just adjust for the natural curvature of a kick (seen as legs swing on an axis and not in a straight line). This is an angle: /watch?v=JpKsDsCJhv8. I can't believe that even though kickers have a single job on the field, they dont even give them a proper challenge.
We do this every single game in rugby....except whilst moving and with no one blocking you. Johnny Wilkinson, world cup final 2003....watch and learn America.
@hollandfocus Keep an eye on those blocks. If you watched the kicker the whole time, you missed all the action. Best part of gridiron football is the downfield block. Obstruction sucks.
how is this a drop kick? dont drop kicks have to bounce off the ground ?

I can't understand why this kick is such a big deal.. Also, all of the field goals attempted in football are from right infront of the posts with no angles to deal with, its stupid.

@shapeshifters7 hashes are wider in college football so close field goal kicks are far from automatic

@happiest1084 Dude, they are right in front. The hashes just adjust for the natural curvature of a kick (seen as legs swing on an axis and not in a straight line). This is an angle: /watch?v=JpKsDsCJhv8. I can't believe that even though kickers have a single job on the field, they dont even give them a proper challenge.

It was only from the 10 yd line, but still. Why not just a normal kick?

@hollandfocus Keep an eye on those blocks. If you watched the kicker the whole time, you missed all the action. Best part of gridiron football is the downfield block. Obstruction sucks.
