This was the way it was done at one time. One of my uncles was a drop kicker in the late 1940s, in HS and college. A lost art now -- low percentage compared to using a holder. Jim McMahon of the Bears was good at it. He'd kick them in warmups, but never got to do one in a game. I remember seeing the Flutie try on live TV. It came about because the game was in hand, it was the end of Flutie's career, and nobody was going to cry "showboat" on a lousy little PAT, especially with Flutie.
@ModernW4rf3re It's a drop kick, very common in Rugby! The ball is dropped and must make contact with the ground immediately before or whilst the ball is kicked. If it was a punt and didnt touch the ground I believe (and feel free to correct me anyone who knows better) that it would be ruled a touchback.
It's a difficult technique to get right with a football which is why I think it's not used very often, the bounce can often lead to a miss kick
My dad taught me how to drop kick football when I was 10. And for years I practiced just ducking around and got very accurate and consistent from 30 yds out. However its absolutely pointless in a nfl game unless your down by 3 or less and there is no time left and the other tram has no timeouts and u make them think your going for a td. And then qb steps back and drop kicks with no place holder.....someone forgot to tell bellichek that and he thought it would just one more thing to put on resume
It's perfectly legal. Always has been. Any ball that's kicked from a dropkick or placekick can score points. No one ever dropkicks in the NFL anymore because the ball is pointier on the ends than it used to be to make it more aerodynamic for passing, so you don't get a reliable bounce out of it when you drop it to the ground. Rugby uses a fatter ball, and you see dropkicks all the time in rugby. Great stuff.
@XXsclausmanXX Completely legal, however EXTREMELY rare. the rule states that the ball must hit the ground first, then it may be kicked. it can not bounce more then once. prior to 1934, the ball was more round, so drop kick attempts were more frequent. the shape of the ball was changed in 1934 to be more aerodynamic because of the emerging passing game. as a result the points on the ball make it bounce funny and the drop kick was no longer a viable play, however its still in the rules.
@XXsclausmanXX you should also look up the Free Kick Field Goal, aka Fair Catch Kick. with that, when you make a fair catch you then have the option to run a regular play, or attempt a free kick from the point of the fair catch. the defense must line up 10 yards off the line of scrimage. you can punt the ball or tee it up. if it goes through the uprights, its 3 points. if no good, the defense gets the ball from the spot of the kick. if the kick is short, the defense can return it.
@victorng3 its only worth 1 point. the ball must be dropped like a punt, but it must touch the ground before its kicked. it can only hit the ground once. last time before this game it was attempted was in the 20s. in 1934 the shape of the ball (which was fairly round) was changes to be more aerodynamic for the emerging passing game, and it made the drop kick a very unpredictable play due to the weird way the ball bounces. its still in the rule book however.
I think you may believe he punted the ball. He let the ball touch the ground, then kicked it. Madden doesn't have that option. If they did, it would work. lol
This was actually on an extra point try at the last game of the season in a meaningless game. I think the Patriots lost in overtime. Flutie did it just for the sake of making history. When the ball was fatter and players were far less experienced way back, the dropkick was actually done to avoid the possibility of bad snaps and blocked field goals.
@0:06 you can tell that the ball touches the ground because it bounced upwards. Other clips show that it touched the ground. NFL films has some better angles elsewhere I think.
nope, at least not in the NFL and that's one of the reasons why you hardly see it. Why risk a drop kick if you can send out the place kicker and get the same amount of points
@pats4lifebb It wasn't a play off game. It was the last game of the season against miami. The patriots actually lost that game I am pretty sure. I was at the game, sitting in the stands at that end zone. The patriots went on to play Jacksonville the next week in the playoffs, I am pretty sure this is the year they lost to Denver in the divisional round. Same year the steelers won the superbowl when they were 6th seed. Just thought I'd inform you. Not trying to be rude in anyway.
The points you get depends on the situation. If it's a field goal, it's 3 points like normal. If it's a PAT, it's one point like normal. The reason I've done this for my team on PAT's is because it takes out the holder and puts in one more blocker. It's difficult but just like anything else, you gotta practice it
A dropkick is where you kick it like a punt but it has to touch the ground first so you drop it let it bounce and kick it. I am a kicker and although this is hard I really want to do this in a game. Oh and it is legal
@MrKittyluver27 you drop the ball like in a punt, but it must hit the ground (only once) first, then you kick it. if it hits the ground a second time it is a fumble and a kick is then illegal
@pats4lifebb seen as that person is from the US, maybe you should shut the fuck up using "britt" as an insult, 'til you can at least spell it right. Ignorant cunt.
@ninjadude477 its not a punt.. the ball must hit the ground first, unlike a punt where the ball is kicked before it hits the ground. if the ball hits the ground a second time its a fumble and a kick is then illegal. its worth 1 point for a PAT and 3 for a field goal. before the shape of the ball was changed in 1934 the ball was more round and this was more common. also the rules then for the modern field goal (a place kick) were not in place.
@Hope2009pc yes. it must hit the ground prior to the kick, and it can hit the ground only once. if it touches the ground a second time it is ruled a fumble and kicking is illegal
Rugby is a great sport!!!!! Football is Great to!!!!!! I grew up playing football, but in 8th grade I played Rugby, it was a GREAT experience!!!! If I grew up playing Rugby, I would probably be saying " Football is a Pussy sport", but it's not. But Honestly, rugby is way more athletic, you constantly run, no subs unless hurt (pussy), football in most HS and Colleges, you have ONE position! Avg. Football play 6-7 secs. making it about 14 mins of "ACTION", Rugby 59:00...Kickoff sprint is resting..
they were up and were going to win the game and Doug was ready to retire and wanted to do something that hadn't been done for a long time. It was an extra point by the way, not a field goal. Furthermore, if drop kicking were allowed on field goals then that would be much easier than a place kick.
i dont get it. why not just go for a field goal if they both worth same points? i know the other team wont be expecting it but how often are field goals ever fricken blocked? and are the odds better for a dropkick because that ball can easily bounce uncontrollably.
One question for americans: why anybody makes a drop kick in a fourth down when they are faraway from the end zone? It's easier if you are at the half of the field. Is it a 3 point play as the field goal?
@ajwwr82 Thats cuz right when it taps the groud the player kicks it. its really hard to be accurate, ive been playing rugny for 5 years and i still have trouble with the timing on it
@bodies42099 wow. the refs would have picked up on it if flutie had punted it. and for all the rugby players, a football is a shitload more pointed than a rugby ball. its really hard to drop kick a football. o and i play rugby, too. o and i take our dropouts. im not an idiot: i actually know what im talking about
@TomWaggle i don't think the nfl was but i do know that the afl was going to increase the points to 2 for extra and 4 for field goal for the drop kick.
Cover your mouth with your hand 2. Make a wish 3.Close your hand (fist) 4. Hold your hand at heart for 5 seconds 5. Send this to 3 more videos 6. Tommorrow will be the best day ever it actually worked This is really interesting: 1.take ur middle finger and put on ur nose. 2.say a name of someone u like. 3.that person will ask u out or say they love u tomarrow. 4. heres the thing copy and paste to 2 other vids
Exactly. The American football used to be fatter and more rounded on the ends, like a rugby ball. Over the years, the American ball slimmed down and took on pointed ends, to make it more aerodynamic for the forward pass. So if you try to dropkick the ball, you don't get a reliable bounce. That's why you hardly ever see a dropkick in the NFL anymore ... and that's why it's such a treat to see it.
Yep. There's no rule that says a field goal or extra point has to be placekicked. On any play from scrimmage, you can bounce the ball off the ground and kick it. If the ball goes between the uprights, it's a score.
use it on 3rd down...fuck the system

@bodies42099 wow. the refs would have picked up on it if flutie had punted it. and for all the rugby players, a football is a shitload more pointed than a rugby ball. its really hard to drop kick a football. o and i play rugby, too. o and i take our dropouts. im not an idiot: i actually know what im talking about

whats the purpose of the drop kick? how many points does it give you?

Same as a field goal just without the holder.
Eagle021001 2 years ago
wrong! It's worth just one point as it is an extra point not a field goal.
gambitx4000 2 years ago
It's worth whatever the corresponding place kick is worth. If you kick it as a field goal, it's 3. If you kick it as a PAT, it's 1.

really? that sounds made up (I am not accusing you, it just sounds like an urban legend). do you have any articles stating so?
sportfan1234 2 years ago
@TomWaggle i don't think the nfl was but i do know that the afl was going to increase the points to 2 for extra and 4 for field goal for the drop kick.

i love how this is considered good in american football and yet is on of the most regular thing in rugby.

Well it's harder to do in American Football
amerikanerMarinen 2 years ago 15
Exactly. The American football used to be fatter and more rounded on the ends, like a rugby ball. Over the years, the American ball slimmed down and took on pointed ends, to make it more aerodynamic for the forward pass. So if you try to dropkick the ball, you don't get a reliable bounce. That's why you hardly ever see a dropkick in the NFL anymore ... and that's why it's such a treat to see it.

Yep. There's no rule that says a field goal or extra point has to be placekicked. On any play from scrimmage, you can bounce the ball off the ground and kick it. If the ball goes between the uprights, it's a score.
