    Questions regarding trick punts and fg's n such.

    So big ben punted on 4th down. Do you have to punt right after the snap? Can he look for a open receiver for say 2-5 seconds and then punt it?

    I think a couple years ago tom brady punted a extra kick and then got credit for 1 point. Can you punt a FG from any distance. Thanks.

    drop kick is not a punt

    the ball actually bounces off the ground

    Jim McMahon was really good at it, but never did it in a game I don't think.

    Welker kicked the extra point didn't he?

    Nvm on 2nd part. You can drop kick fg's but not punt them. Hmm coulda swore a couple years ago i heard a 2pt conversion was going on and the qb just punted it through uprights for a XP

    the drop kick has to hit the ground. flutie did it his last game i think, dont recall anyone else ever doing it in the modern era, was kinda joke in a meaningless game when he pulled it off.

    the problem with waiting is getting too many men downfield....i think you can only have 2 gunners leave the los when you punt
