The huge difference is this FG can be a "drop kick" ...ie...like a punter.

So you can punt the ball between the up rights.

I suppose punts can simply kick further then actual FGs when the punter/kicker has zero reason to worry about hang time.

I could be wrong on some of that, or all of that...but that is what I remember

An actual drop kick is where the ball touches the ground first… generally kicked simultaneously (as soon as it touches the ground). It's not a punt where they kick it before the ball touches the ground.

You can kick field goals this way in the NFL still, just nobody does it. Doug Flutie did it once.

Ooooh

That sounds complicated....no wonder I don't remember see it ever happen

Like the fella above said...I just remember our Beloved John Madden talking about it

Flutie's was the first since 1941.

It's a rugby style kick.
