Having the awareness to track the ball down, picking the ball up while the ball is spinning, and then having the ability to kick the ball 60 yards down field on a dead run is nothing short of amazing.
@@shanejarvis1108 You're right that he's an Aussie Rules guy not Rugby, but Beauden Barrett is pretty knownfor scooping the ball on the run exactly like that. Which on reflection actually proves your point, lol, since he was feted for it precisely because it is too risky a thing to do in Rugby very often.
Yeah during the ou and Kansas state game during that onside kick the commentators asked him twice what the rules are and Mike kept ignoring the question 😂
I’ll be honest: I kind of assumed it was illegal to punt twice, but without actually knowing the rule, I would never have said that. Also, even if it had been a penalty, I would have called it a smart play, because the other team would basically have to either accept the outcome of the play in order to enforce the penalty, or have them rekick. It prevented a disastrous play where the Rams get the ball in scoring range.
Considering the punt was downed at the 10, accepting the penalty is the obvious choice, but you make a good point. The punter intentionally taking the penalty gives his team a second chance to get the play right, and the other team doesn't take over 25 yards from the endzone. (That's assuming the second punt was even illegal, and apparently the rule book does not preclude it.)
Not quite. In your hypothetical scenario had it been illegal, penalty would be 5 yards AND loss of down. Which would be a turnover on downs, so no rekick. The "loss of down" is there on "illegal forward pass" or "intentional grounding" penalties to prevent the qb from intentionally taking a penalty to get another play. So you wouldn't be able to re-kick. That said, it's legal so this is moot
I played madden 2000 like rugby league and played mainly lateral passes. Can’t believe a country where this is a main sport finds this surprising. If you looked at other football sports , you could learn a lot
Man never thought I would see 2 killer plays by kickers in almost as many weeks. Between that 66yd fg and this play, kickers are killing it right now. FOR THE BRAND!
Mike Pereira was arguably even worse, as he tried to save face afterwards by flat out lying about an "editorial change this year" when the double punt rule has been in the books since at least 2015. It's ok to be wrong, but to lie about it afterwards to justify your falsehoods means you do not care about truths, and only about your own ego and "sounding" correct.
@@hashbrown4278 not good enough for the AFL, but has a monster boot. Arryn Sipposs, punter for the Eagles played AFL for my team, wasn't much good but again a monster boot. Very different kicking a NFL ball though and also the positioning and hang time. Takes quite a while to master a ball designed for throwing.
"Now you can advance the ball once it's been blocked. You can pick it up behind the line of scrimmage, and you can advance it. But, ah no, you can't kick it again." Lol
That's why Peyton Manning said Joe Buck has no idea what is going on. We announcers who know the rules, or STFU until they have a confirmation instead of sounding so sure about things
That's about as much value that you're going to get out of a punter in one play. Got stuffed, but he didn't get phased at all, recovered, AND got off a strong punt.
The 2nd punt is called a checkside kick or snap kick in Australia. Used to get a U shape bend in flight. A skill needed for AFL because of the oval dimensions of the field
A snap kick is usually off the inner portion of the top of the boot, Whereas a Checkside Kick (sometimes called a banana kick by the illiterate) is much more off the outer portion of the boot. In either case a spin is imparted on the ball to cause it to bend in its flight path.
He recovered the ball, literally ran it as close up to the line of scrimmage as he could get and then kicked it - absolutely beautiful play and kudos to Dickson for knowing the rule book and maximizing yards on a botched play! Announcers don't know what they are talking about haha
Lmao dude just casually, 1 hand scooped that n was like fuck it, drop punts the ball a good 45 metres 🤣 You can take the boy out of Australia but you can't take the Australia out for the boy
Joe Buck - “Im thankful Mike Pereira’s here with us…” Mike Pereira - “No, you can’t kick it again.” Dickson’s a dumbass, oh wait, I’m completely wrong about the only reason I’m paid to be here? In that case, Dickson’s play was brilliant. Okay, very good.
No, he was talking about this kind of double punt, but where the ball was kicked downfield, caught by the receiving team then kicked back downfield towards and hopefully over the original line of scrimmage, as you still see in Rugby Union.
Dickson: "This is a great time to show off my runningback skills. I'm at the 10.....I'm at the 20......wait....i see tacklers coming,....I think I want to be a kicker again!"
If Dickson sold candy, blind turned, don't argued with a monster fend and jagged a goal with a left foot barrell from 50 out, we Aussies might be impressed.
Commentators attempt to make Mike look stupid. End up making themselves look stupid in the process. He got blocked because he team didn’t stop the runner, then made excellent work of the situation. Great play
The Aussie in him probably kicked in (no pun intended) and he kicked the ball on instinct. In Australian football that’s one of the main ways the ball is driven down field, and that’s a part of the reason why so many Australians come to the US to play in the NFL as punters and kickers.

That's a good punter right there. Because punters punt the ball and that's it.Dixon had the awareness and intelligence to realize he could legally kick it again behind the line of scrimmage where moat punters would have gotten ran over.

Even the official rules analyst was wrong 🤣
Well, is Joe Buck after all .....
Funniest part was how clueless the guy who blocked the punt is to where the ball went
That's a cricket one hand pick up there mate.😅😅😅
Aussie Rules footy pickup, he used to play it back in Australia.
Wrong. Watch an AFL game, that happens dozens of times a game. Picking up the ball without breaking stride is a skill learnt at a young age
@@craigschruhm2379 Which I already commented.
What an athlete
They should make this legal. Exciting circumstances and adds another very pivotal play!
It is legal, the announcers were wrong.
he did all that with a fanny pack on.
Dickson with the Mark Ella-quality pickup
Dickson came in clutch
He said that with a lot of confidence for some reason
But what if he was ahead of the line of scrimmage, would he have to drop kick it?
that scoop was pretty sick tho ngl
That's a good punter right there. Because punters punt the ball and that's it.Dixon had the awareness and intelligence to realize he could legally kick it again behind the line of scrimmage where moat punters would have gotten ran over.
Pete Carrol was even like wtf is this 😭😭😂
quick thinking by the punter to get enough space then do it again
I was 6th row on that 18 yard line… happened right in front of me. Happened so fast we were like what just happened?!?
Well, this is one way to get people excited about a punting play.
We may never seen this again!
I think they were all thinking about the occasionally seen “double pass”, which is illegal, no matter where the passer is.
Funniest thing I’ve seen all day
Imagine if kick passing was thing? Probably blow your mind how accurately a punter could hit the mark better than most throws.
And, of course, with your avatar... you see this sort of thing regularly. 🤩🎹🏉
