I was gonna say you could hike it between a quarterback's legs and the defense couldn't recover. you could technically burn an entire quarter of time, so makes sense
The one point safety has occurred in college football at least twice. Both times the defense blocked an extra point, recovers it, retreated into their end zone and were tackled there.
@@icyballerj5857 A try after a touchdown is blocked. The defense recovers the ball in the field of play. The defender who recovered the ball retreats into his own end zone and is tackled there. One point safety for the kicking team and some punishment stadium runs for the player.
While it is a 1-point (defensive) safety, it's not the interesting one as it ultimately results in a 7th point to go with the touchdown. Making the PAT kick has the same result. What is described in this video, as well as Jon Bois in the Scorigami video, is something so much harder to accomplish, the 1 point offensive safety.
@@bobbob465 Yes, you are right. As far as I know that has never happened in college or the NFL. A more likely way it could happen than the way he describes is, blocked PAT, defense picks it up and returns it but fumbles in the field of play. Offense picks it up, retreats into the end zone, and is tackled there.
It has occurred on several occasions actually, but mostly at small colleges, like Div 3, but it has occurred three times with big colleges. One of the announcers happened to be present at two of those. Good TH-cam video of all of the recorded occasions.
The answer to your question at 3:00 about drop kicks is that it was a lot more useful before the NFL banned kicks beyond the line of scrimmage. The CFL, like rugby, allows a kick at any time, so a player in the open field could try a drop kick for points rather than attempt to beat a defender.
@@markipleur Infact Bill knew it was probably coming back to the Pats because the tuck rule got called while the Patriots were on defense against the Jets at the beginning of the season. The Jets got the ball back but it wasn’t the odd rule that made that game memorable, it also just happened to be the game Brady was put in for an injured Drew Bledsoe.
I referee football here in the UK and was at the Panthers - Bucs game in 2019 in London for the fair catch FK attempt. I was left scratching my head as I had no idea the rule existed, as it doesn't exist in the college game
A drop kick may be effective if there was a miss snap during a field goal attempt, or even during a normal play. Instead of turning over the ball, or losing yards they could get 3 points.

The one point safety is not as rare as you said. The NCAA rules have the one point safety and as an official, I have called it twice and know of others who have made the call. On an extra point, the offence fumbles the ball near the goal line in the field of play, the defense recovers the ball and steps back into his own endzone where he is tackled. One point safety!
Or make the drop kick more useful by permitting it to be made at any time, i.e. beyond the line of scrimmage, as in rugby. The CFL still has that rule, even if it is rarely used. restricting kicks to the backfield is lame.
A sideline player once did come on the field to tackle an opposing player. Happened in a college game back in the '50's - Alabama vs Rice 1954 Cotton Bowl. A Rice player was running for a long touchdown when a 'Bama player came off the sideline to tackle him. The Rice player was rightfully awarded a touchdown. Also, a 1-point safety has also happened in at least 2 college football games.
In the 1973 ISU/OSU (Oklahoma State) game an ISU player (Buddy Hardeman) was free, running down the sidelines when suddenly he was down and everyone was "Uh, what just happened?". An OSU player (Deacon Stephens) standing on the sidelines came out and tackled him. We were awarded the 73-yard touchdown but I don't know if the OSU player was ejected.
Rugby kickers are taught to kick for the "coffin corners": 5x5 yard corners of the playing field. It pins a receiver and if not fielded bounces inbounds then out of bounds at the 2yd line. And a chance at a Safety.
The jumping over the line was started by Seattle and (I think) cam chancellor did it a few times… not the patriots… but it’s clear he wanted to try bringing up the pats as much as he could in this video lol
@@mahadaalvi never even noticed. We’re Ben’s for PATs though bc I’m just assuming that’s what they mean. I play rugby so I’m quite surprised that they aren’t attempted more often
@@mahadaalvi Roethlisberger has not attempted a drop kick. Those are punts-- typically what they call a quick kick as it's often done by surprise by a quarterback on a third-and-impossible situation.
With regards to drop kicks, I actually think it would make sense if your kicker gets hurt. If a kicker gets hurt and can't return to the game, what are your options? 1) try to find someone on your team who used to be a kicker? 2) hope that you have a backup kicker who's active that day? 3) attempt 2 point conversions each time, and get screwed if you miss one or two? I think it makes much more sense to train a punter to be good at drop kicks just in case the kicker gets injured, than risk missing every PAT/2pt attempt.
"A nonplayer shall not commit an act which is palpably unfair." It's in the rulebook, but it's the predominant MO of incompetent and palpably unfair officials every single week. That's some thick irony.
The Packers also tried the free kick in a game against the Lions in 2008, after getting the ball on a fair catch with one second left in the half, almost made a 69-yard attempt (would've been good from 67, possibly 68). It's definitely not going to come up much, but I'm a little surprised we don't see it at least occasionally -- you'd think a team with a reliable kicker would at least be aware of the rule and have a plan for this just in case they end up in that situation.
Didn't know about the ball between QB's legs rule. I've seen some of the others but not the 1 point safety or the palpably unfair act. There have been a few drop kicks on kickoffs since Flutie's PAT drop kick. Seattle did it a few times, so have others. It might be interesting if there was a benefit to the drop kick. I doubt they'll remove the rule.
I think the benefit to the drop kick used to be that you could try it at any point during a play from anywhere on the field, similar rugby. Not sure why they took that part out but left in that you could still do a drop kick during a scrimmage kick.
@@johnsilcox8 I don't know why they took out the open-field kick in American Football either. In the distant past kickers weren't specialists, so I don't think it's the kickers. It's still allowed in Canadian Football. Canadian Football also has a larger field & requires that kicks into the end zone be returned beyond the receiving team's goal line, or the kicking team gets a rouge (1 point). Doesn't sound like much but it could mean that that last drive needs to end in a touchdown rather than being able win or force OT with a field goal.
Rugby lateral passes are often attempted to extend a last play. Russel Wilson has lateralled while on the run. Rugby actually allows for drop kick while on the run to score a goal. I can also dropkick and recover the ball myself.
Why didn’t teams on the kicking end just put a player in the backfield and just throw a shoulder as hard as they could into the player jumping the snapper while in the air? No one would try it again.
There have been 6 successful fair catch kicks made in NFL history, the last by Ray Wersching (Chargers) in 1976 from 45 yards. Since then, there have been 9 attempts, and only Rob Bironas in 2005 (58) was from within 60 yards. Mark Mosley attempted at 74 yard FCK in 1979. Not uncommon...just uncommon for them to actually *work*. I've seen illegal leverage called a few times; the rest of the stuff is either in response to/to prevent abusive acts...the "no consecutive timeouts" rule was because of how stupid icing the kicker got in the early 2000s. Joe Gibbs was just the only coach stupid enough to not remember it existed. Drop kicks exist because reasons (and maybe make them worth 2/6 points if attempted as a conversion attempt/down play), but EVERYONE knows the Doug Flutie play. Palpably unfair acts are for interfering with a scoring opportunity (Mike Tomlin) or repeatedly committing penalties to manipulate the clock (The infamous Ravens vs. Bengals "everyone hold until the clock runs out" play happened the year before that was added).
Kylie, how did you research that? I ask because i need your excellent source: I'm trying to research how many receivers have caught a TD on their very FIRST NFL play as my college friend David Knight did for the Jets.
I love the dropkick. As a former goalkeeper, I didn't use it much, but it was in my arsenal of kicks/punts. It is used in soccer especially in a windy game to get better control and direction on the kick. I agree that it should be brought back and be worth 2 points if attempted as a try after a touchdown and worth 4 if attempted as a "field goal." Heck, there should be an NFL rule that gives more points for field goals taken from further away , similar to three-point-shots in basketball. ie: 3 points if
Re: consecutive time-outs, Gibbs was most likely unaware of the rule change that occurred between his first stint as coach of Washington and his return. During his first stint, such time-outs were legal.
That fair catch kick could be a feasible strategy for the team with a superb kicker amongst two who both have top 2 defenses but piss poor offenses. Occasionally, those games can have a total score of less than 20 points. A field goal or two could be the difference if the kick is timed properly enough to not tire out your defense too much or too early. That would take balls and unconditional confidence in your defense, though.
I think if Jason Meyers (Seahawks kicker) got hurt than Michael Dickson would be his backup and have more success with a drop kick than a placekick. So there’s that
How about the rule where a green bay player laid down and put his feet out of bounds and the touched a ball in play to draw a penalty. Explain that one
The one you called "between the quarterback's legs rule" was abolished before this TH-cam even was posted, and it was never about being between the quarterback's legs. It was a rule that said that if you extended hands in position to receive the snap, the ball couldn't be snapped to any other player, and you had to be first to touch it.
The drop kick should definitely be worth 6 points. It's the hardest scoring play in the game so seeing it more often would be cool. But it's amazing how very few people know that gridiron football is just another version of football sports, like association football, rugby, etc. The original game was practically soccer.
The drop kick does not "date back to a prehistoric version of gridiron football." The drop kick in the open field (beyond the line of scrimmage) is still legal in the Canadian game, so it relates to a current version of "gridiron football". If you want to refer to a "prehistoric version of American football", i.e. before they made the lame decision to ban kicks past the line of scrimmage, go ahead.
the NFL rule i hate the most, (though it does make a kind of sense) is if the ball goes out of bounds in the endzone that scores a TD it's automatically a touchback for the defense.
I remember a Seahawks/Lions MNF game a few seasons ago were the Seahawk player batted the ball out of the back of the end zone after a bad snap to prevent the Lions from falling on the ball for a go ahead touchdown. There was no penalties called let alone a 1 point safety and the Lions lost that game in OT I believe.
Nah, Kam Chancellor punched the ball out of Calvin Johnsons arm and then KJ Wright flicked the ball out of bounds. He did screw up because he could have easily just grabbed it or fell on it. Instead the Lions got a touch back and lost the game because of it
Drop kicks allow a player to kick a field goal when, say his holder fumbles the ball, or when a successful pass or run is impossible. Yeah, hasn't happened, ever.
This is the NCAA one-point Safety rule RULE 8, Section 3,F , Article 2: If the defensive team gains possession of the ball on a point-after attempt and is tackled in the end zone, the offense is awarded one point. The rule also applies if the defense recovers a fumble and is tackled in its own end zone. The NFL has this rule only in theory, because relative to both College and CFL(Which has it's own one -point rule) the NFL is a quick-whistle league. They will whistle a play dead before the college one-point safety would ever come into effect.
Another crazy rule (even though it is known) is the out of bounds goal line fumble rule. Meaning if you fumble out of bounds and its in the endzone the other team gets the ball and its a touchback.
It is a good rule. Take care of the football or risk losing it. And this also makes it very risky to try and fumble the ball into endzone for an easy touchdown.
"half the distance" penalties; specifically, when there is insufficient yardage for the full penalty. They should just assess as much yardage as they can and put the ball on the one. Half the distance only makes sense when the distance to the goal line is greater than 20 yards -- if the whole point of a "half the distance" penalty is to send a message, such as an extreme player safety violation. Helmet-to-helmet targeting would be a great half the distance penalty.
FYI BB wasn't exactly rubbing it in with the drop kick since it was a meaningless game that the Pats had pretty much lost, but it was Flute's last game so why not.
That’s not the only way a 1 point safety can be scored. It can also be a blocked kick or interception recovered by the defense and then brought back into the end zone. The offense scores 1 point. It’s less hilarious because it just amounts to the same as if they made the PAT to begin with.
Ahhhh...palpably...great word. Jason Biondo somehow (🤔) forgot the best known palpably penalty in resent time! But then again it was against his Jets when the strength coach tripping a Dolphins player.
I remember it happening back in the 60s the runner was running down the side line when Don Meredith stuck out his tripped the guy, he never lived that one down. "TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY'S OVER"
2 pts for a drop kick on an extra point maybe even 4 points for a successful drop kick opposed to a FG would be fun and add to some other possibilities just more fun overall!?!
The leaping over the line was popularized by the Seahawks legion of boom and I hate the fact that it’s now illegal now is the defense going to block a field goal or extra point
It appears that the defense did not rush the drop kick, and nobody blocked. If you have a kicker, you don't have to worry about a bad snap or blocked kick.
Eliminate the 15-yard PAT and line up at the 3 for either a drop kick or 2-pt conversion. And yes, I know the 2-pt conversion is currently from the 2 yd line.

the one point safety surprised me. I assumed teams would get 2 points for that regardless. and the ball between the QB's legs rule sounds too weird to be true.what could be the point of that?
Rule 1973792... You are not allowed to look at Tom Brady whatsoever in a mean way. That will be an automatic 15 yd personal foul and another 15 yards unsportsmanlike conduct.
The ball between the QB's legs rule is no more because of that game. A lot of coaches and managers were complaining about that rule.
Saw it called in a game that worked against the Jags when they were playing the titans. The NFL didn't care then.

That fair catch kick could be a feasible strategy for the team with a superb kicker amongst two who both have top 2 defenses but piss poor offenses. Occasionally, those games can have a total score of less than 20 points. A field goal or two could be the difference if the kick is timed properly enough to not tire out your defense too much or too early. That would take balls and unconditional confidence in your defense, though.
I think if Jason Meyers (Seahawks kicker) got hurt than Michael Dickson would be his backup and have more success with a drop kick than a placekick. So there’s that
Dickson has made 60 yard drop kicks in practice apparently.
How about the rule where a green bay player laid down and put his feet out of bounds and the touched a ball in play to draw a penalty. Explain that one
Probably the greatest known drop kicker was a man by the name of 'Slinging' Sammy Baugh. He played on both sides of the line.
The one you called "between the quarterback's legs rule" was abolished before this TH-cam even was posted, and it was never about being between the quarterback's legs. It was a rule that said that if you extended hands in position to receive the snap, the ball couldn't be snapped to any other player, and you had to be first to touch it.
Not a Raiders fan but that Tuck Rule is still suspect to me. Shady stuff imo.
It was a crap rule, just like some of the tacking and catching rules are today. But it was still a rule and was called correctly.
The one point Safety can also happen if a extra point is blocked and the other team recovers it runs out the endzone and runs back in then gets tacked
I agree with the dropkick rule.
First dropkick was 17 days after Pearl Harbor was bombed
The drop kick should definitely be worth 6 points. It's the hardest scoring play in the game so seeing it more often would be cool. But it's amazing how very few people know that gridiron football is just another version of football sports, like association football, rugby, etc. The original game was practically soccer.
I only knew about the one point safety and the back-to-back timeout rule
The drop kick does not "date back to a prehistoric version of gridiron football." The drop kick in the open field (beyond the line of scrimmage) is still legal in the Canadian game, so it relates to a current version of "gridiron football". If you want to refer to a "prehistoric version of American football", i.e. before they made the lame decision to ban kicks past the line of scrimmage, go ahead.
the NFL rule i hate the most, (though it does make a kind of sense) is if the ball goes out of bounds in the endzone that scores a TD it's automatically a touchback for the defense.
OMG I know.
I also hate all rules when enforced against my favorite team. Stupid rules.
I remember a Seahawks/Lions MNF game a few seasons ago were the Seahawk player batted the ball out of the back of the end zone after a bad snap to prevent the Lions from falling on the ball for a go ahead touchdown. There was no penalties called let alone a 1 point safety and the Lions lost that game in OT I believe.
Nah, Kam Chancellor punched the ball out of Calvin Johnsons arm and then KJ Wright flicked the ball out of bounds. He did screw up because he could have easily just grabbed it or fell on it. Instead the Lions got a touch back and lost the game because of it
@@gavghag6109 no, the Seahawks got a touchback. Dip shyt
I clicked on the video for information.
WHAT I got was a guy that just drank 4 POTS OF COFFEE.
In between the legs was nuts.
Drop kicks allow a player to kick a field goal when, say his holder fumbles the ball, or when a successful pass or run is impossible. Yeah, hasn't happened, ever.
I hated the patriots since the Tuck Rule
I learned that the CFL has the onside punt.
This is the NCAA one-point Safety rule
RULE 8, Section 3,F
, Article 2: If the defensive team gains possession of the ball on a point-after attempt and is tackled in the end zone, the offense is awarded one point. The rule also applies if the defense recovers a fumble and is tackled in its own end zone.
The NFL has this rule only in theory, because relative to both College and CFL(Which has it's own one -point rule) the NFL is a quick-whistle league. They will whistle a play dead before the college one-point safety would ever come into effect.
A Picture of Tom Brady and this best friends is so cute lol
He's nothing without them.
Treat your hemorrhoids better.
Surprise ???/
Another crazy rule (even though it is known) is the out of bounds goal line fumble rule. Meaning if you fumble out of bounds and its in the endzone the other team gets the ball and its a touchback.
It is a good rule. Take care of the football or risk losing it. And this also makes it very risky to try and fumble the ball into endzone for an easy touchdown.
It's crazy until you think about what the options are. All options are kind of wack.

5 rules you should make in nfl
It's actually a rule in the NFL rulebook that says the team that scores the most points wins the game.
Prove it!!!
@@JJforShie1 Rule 11; Section 1; Article !

I knew that was a rule cuz in madden it won't let ya do it twice in a row
"half the distance" penalties; specifically, when there is insufficient yardage for the full penalty. They should just assess as much yardage as they can and put the ball on the one. Half the distance only makes sense when the distance to the goal line is greater than 20 yards -- if the whole point of a "half the distance" penalty is to send a message, such as an extreme player safety violation. Helmet-to-helmet targeting would be a great half the distance penalty.
Yoooooo he got long hair now!
Do the best current players in the NFL who would have a better or worse career in a different team
Crazy
Drop kicks can be good.. If u r like 3rd and 25 or more.. The qb can kick it so its beyond any receiver.. Really long punt
FYI BB wasn't exactly rubbing it in with the drop kick since it was a meaningless game that the Pats had pretty much lost, but it was Flute's last game so why not.
Lions did the timeout thing this season haha
That’s not the only way a 1 point safety can be scored. It can also be a blocked kick or interception recovered by the defense and then brought back into the end zone. The offense scores 1 point. It’s less hilarious because it just amounts to the same as if they made the PAT to begin with.
Ahhhh...palpably...great word. Jason Biondo somehow (🤔) forgot the best known palpably penalty in resent time! But then again it was against his Jets when the strength coach tripping a Dolphins player.
I remember it happening back in the 60s the runner was running down the side line when Don Meredith stuck out his tripped the guy, he never lived that one down. "TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY'S OVER"
2 pts for a drop kick on an extra point maybe even 4 points for a successful drop kick opposed to a FG would be fun and add to some other possibilities just more fun overall!?!
A 1 point safety?! Now that I want to see lol

Day 39 of asking do every teams most consistent position
The leaping over the line was popularized by the Seahawks legion of boom and I hate the fact that it’s now illegal now is the defense going to block a field goal or extra point
It appears that the defense did not rush the drop kick, and nobody blocked. If you have a kicker, you don't have to worry about a bad snap or blocked kick.
Eliminate the 15-yard PAT and line up at the 3 for either a drop kick or 2-pt conversion. And yes, I know the 2-pt conversion is currently from the 2 yd line.
Drop kick allows another protective blocker with no one needing to hold.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
There were speculations that sbli might have featured a fair catch kick after the last punt by the Falcons was fair caught by Edelman.

4:05 where’s the rule break at?
Seahawks Sherman used the other teams long snapper as jumping off point.
"even the dead hard fans might not know this one the one point safety" me: I DO KNOW IT LMAO
the one point safety surprised me. I assumed teams would get 2 points for that regardless. and the ball between the QB's legs rule sounds too weird to be true.what could be the point of that?
Some of these rules are in the HS rule book, like the fair catch kick
Troy use to jump over the line all the time, I wonder why it took so long to have a rule against it
Because NE and Philly had players who were quite good at it that season. So Troy taught the league and as soon as others copied him...
Troy mostly did it on defense and not so much on kicks
Rule 1973792... You are not allowed to look at Tom Brady whatsoever in a mean way. That will be an automatic 15 yd personal foul and another 15 yards unsportsmanlike conduct.
This oof. I shall not stop. Day 9: Top 10 times TPS talked to soon. (Good vid tho)
