It was a Special Team "Masterclass" by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. Jason Myers and Michael Dickson were darn near close to perfect. Put together a little highlight reel, with commentary. What was your take on the game?

In Last Sundays AFC Title Game, Bronco Kicker Will Lutz said, “Unfortunately, you couldn’t see the lines on the field and honestly, I think we were — we might have been a yard short on the snap,” Lutz told 104.3 The FAN. “Can’t see the lines on the field and we had to kind of estimate, and a guy comes through, and it was blocked.” As part of my pre-kick ritual, I never assumed the spot that my holder chooses to spot the ball was correct. To eliminate that, I went to the line of scrimmage, and paced off the seven yards, and told the holder, "This is the spot." I don't know if that is something that you could try, if you do, you need to do it every time you line up for a kick. Of course, "back in the day", we played on a lot of muddy fields where there were no lines. You need to work with your long snapper and your holder, but the decision is up to the kicker. You are the one that one that is leading this operation! What does the rest of the Peanut Gallery think here???? Coach Jim

Mike – Found this one in the Stout archives. 1984, I am the holder, (Backup Kicker and Punter, Starting Receiver and Punt Returner) Todd Miles is the Straight on Kicker. Still holds the WSUC (Now WIAC) Long Field Goal, 54 yards at UWRF! I think this is against Whitewater at Stout, Nelson Field. 😊 You never know where your value to a team will show up!

If any of you guys would be willing to look through this video and let me know of things I could fix I would greatly appreciate it, also I’ve been working on my kicks and I don’t know how to fix my first step and stop it from being a lunge into the run up, if any of yall have advice with that I would appreciate it.

I am often surprised by how many really good kickers can't punt traditionally. Why? I think much of it has to do with fooling around with it and "failing" to make the kind of contact and results you get when you placekick. The mechanics aren't that much different, but you do have the added issue of hitting a moving target instead of a stationary one. Why practice punting? • You're already the kicker... you're the most likely to become the starting punter. • You already have most of the mechanics you need. • If you're not the starting punter, you are the obvious choice to be the back-up. • Why wouldn't you? Wouldn't you like to be an even bigger part of the game? • It ain't hard to do — practice kicking and punt back through the posts. • You won't blow your leg out. Just be purposeful about each skill. • Remember, job #1 is "catch the ball", then do what comes naturally. • CREATE YOUR OWN CONFIDENCE and GO FOR IT! So here are the basics to get you on the right path.
