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.

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
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
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!
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 😂
@@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.

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.

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.
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!"
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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
