Not really..Ryan when he played for the Seahawks used this style and could kick it over 60 yards and the English it had on it was sick. He even got so good at it he could time it to where the point would just touch the ground as his foot hit the ball..he could punt it endzone to end zone like a kick off
Incorrect. There was an Aussie punter who played for the Cowboys back in 1965 that did this, but it didn't catch on. Then Darren Bennett started doing it for the San Diego Chargers back in the mid 90's. Very few NFL teams adopted the Aussie style punts back then even though there were several Aussie punters who tried out for the NFL. Then in 2007 Nathan Chapman started Prokick Australia to teach Aussies how to do the spiral punt that the NFL wants, as well as how to incorporate Aussie rules punting into the NFL. It's only been within the past 15 or so years where this type of punt has started to really catch on at the NCAA level, and eventually work it's way into the NFL on a more consistent basis.
@@thekickingconsultantI get it, but I'm not sure why they're not kicking it as far as a normal punt. I mean, it looks exactly the same as a normal punt. A punter kicking it the American "normal" way were used to would catch the snap, take his step and drop it right before he punts it downfield. The only change here is the angle of them kicking it.
@@willatwood They're kicking it this way because these kids aren't used to the roll out technique. You can get more torque into the punt using the Aussie style, but these kids aren't used to it. You can do it the normal punt way, or you can do it with a roll out which allows the coverage unit more time to get down the field, and thus makes it more difficult for the returner to field the punt. The unique thing with the Aussie style is that they are taught at a young age to take off running if there's a huge hole. If the return team decides to drop too many players for a return, an Aussie punter will automatically tuck the ball and take off running provided the yardage to gain is manageable. The American punters are never taught to think like that. It's essentially a read option in the punting world, and no matter what the return team decides to do, it's an incorrect decision.
@@erics607 It's a different game. You can't take more time to kick the ball because you're then susceptible to getting the punt blocked. And a "huge hole" in the NFL closes in a matter of seconds because of everyone's speed. Punters in the NFL are set back 15 yards from the line of scrimmage (where the ball is snapped) so thinking run-first is a really bad idea unless they've got Olympic-like speed. An average NFL punter makes about twice what the highest-paid player in either Aussie Football or Rugby Union (or whatever is the highest Rugby League) makes so if it was as simple as that, every punter in the NFL would be Australian or European but as it is only a handful of Australian players a year ever make a team in the NFL.
@@jongordon7914 I know that. The Aussie style works better in high school, and college where the speed isn't at the level it is in the NFL. The problem Aussies have with American football, is they're not used to receiving a snap, and having to kick the ball a certain style in about 3 seconds.
Because it creates an end over end kick that returners aren't used to catching. Also by running out to the side, it allows an additional 3-5 seconds for the coverage unit to get down the field, and makes it near impossible for big returns. It also allows for more accuracy on the kicks, and if the ball is held at the correct angle while trying to kick it inside the 10 yard line, it will either bounce a few yards forward and kick to the side, or it will bounce backwards thus preventing a touchback. It's a genius way of doing it IMO, but American coaches are stubborn about changing how punting should be done.
Hi mate, you'll find that it is required to kick them like a drop punt. However, leaning them back a bit more allows players to not have to hit the point so much. Cheers
It's a normal punt. If they were actual punters, they could kick it how they regularly kick it and they'd make it through. And different angle! You can get an American punter and tell him to change the angle during a normal punt and it'd be the same shit
Now let’s see some aussies try to throw our football
we're not the best 😅 but I have thrown a first down on a fake punt before haha
@@thekickingconsultant haha that’s awesome!
😂😂😂
@@thekickingconsultantwdym most people I know can perfect the spiral and all
It’s the way they hold it. 😂
2nd dude held it like he was about to throw it.
I get it’s there first time.
They're losing power by swiping at the ball instead of kicking straight. Also wtf was that hold that dude had on the ball 💀
yeah it was their first time trying this. they gotta better after some coaching

Yea but did u see the size of his legs @@rikmang
Swiping more often than not gives more power. Really gets the hip into it more than staying linear. Linear is more consistent though
Punters use this a lot in the nfl
bro they holding it like they boutta throw it
Last guys one was pretty good maybe it was wind curved it in. im working on drop punting it from side its hard to make it curve
Gotta learn how to hold it, like Aussie rules football. Do you know how far they kick them?
I hear voices in my head, they council me, they understand, they talk to me...
You've got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questioning your faith
Seattle was the first to use this in the NFL.

second ball just disappeared 💀
I tried that foot is killing me
I thought drop kicks had to touch the ground briefly before striking it?
this is an drop PUNT that is used in Australian rules football and now in American football

This only took 444 takes 😂
🔥
Ronaldo kicking a punt 💀
looks similar to a drop kick in rugby
Ball supposed to hit the ground for it to be a drop kick, no?
yeah but this is a drop punt, not a drop kick
@@thekickingconsultant yeah, I was confused. Thanks for the clarification.
Why do they hold it like that

Bruh, Gridiron Balls aren't meant for drop punts. The thing is like a pointed brick.

These guys need to takes notes form the Australians
Nice inkicking and Aussie but 100 yards
The way Americans hold the ball for that type of kick actually makes me cringe aha.
Facts bro
For a drop kick? We don’t do that here, that’s why it’s weird lol.
@@yomama75well we can we just dont really need to
That's bc they probably aren't kickers
@@Ilikemeth770 Correct
Soccer 😅
afl
why hate on these boys for how they hold it. wtfc
Fr people really getting mad over a sport
Drop kick
I’m a twelve year old kicker and punter and that punting was sad come on
It’s just a normal punt right
No the ball is tilted further down than a normal punt.

Teaching highschoolers*
I’m 30 and overweight and can punt further bruh
Drop kicks even easier…
that sick man
Doesn’t English rugby do this too
Just a torpedo copy
?
nfl punters don't exist now?
Huh?
@@thekickingconsultant you are acting like football (🏈) punting and kicking doesn't exist
Na I’m just saying it was their first time trying this style of punt.
