The Drop Kick

Redskins8588 · 07-01-2004, 09:15 PM

When I was in the 7th grade we had to write a research paper on any topic of choice, so I did mine on the game of football. One of my subtopics was scoring. While doing my research I found out that a team can score by doing what was called a drop kick. The drop kick is similar to a punt but the ball must touch the ground before the kicker kicks the ball. And like a field gaol the ball must go between the up-rights. I can not remember how many points you can get for this But I do remember seeing on tv a while back that Jim McMahn tried to get Mike Holmgrin(SP) to let him do it during a game.

Any how to get to my point of this thread, is this method of scoring for real? If so is it still leagal today in the NFL? Have others heard of this?
