Michael FREAKING Dickson

[jlwaters1]

65+ yard punt. I liked what I've seen from him. Can't wait to see the next 2 preseason games.

It is not that it was a 65 yard punt in the air. It is the fact that he put a 65 yard punt between the numbers and the sideline. That returner never stood a chance.

With Dickson every punt is going to be a genuine opportunity.

Bye Jon. Hopefully you put more effort into your next punting opportunity.

Not sure what you mean. Ryan been a true professional the entire time.

Yeah, Ryan has been a good punter for us and will have no troubles whatsoever finding a new team to kick for. See no reason to be dissing on him.

I hope Ryan catches on somewhere. Good dude and a good Punter. Dickson is going to be a beast though. It's crazy how that ball looks coming down. Looking forward to seeing some fumbles recovered by the Hawks on punts this year. Good luck trying to catch those things.

Other than the time he did this in an NFC Championship game lol.

Any shot at Erin Rodgers is a good thing :irishdrinkers:

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Is his snap to kick time pretty good?

In the game commentary, Tirico said that Dickson has 9 (NINE) different types of punts he practices for different situations. :shock:

 

[SmokinHawk]

Knowing very little about this cat, I took a look at that amazing punt he made from our endzone and thought to myself "huh, that kick looks a lot like the way they kick in Aussie rules football". Then I looked him up to find that he's a former Aussie rules footballer.

I see why we spent a 5th rounder on him. That is some leg.

Won't he have placekick holder duties? That could be one role where Ryan is better. Sure it is a skill that could be learned, but still a skill.

Do you really make roster decisions around who holds?

 

[no4mk1]

Does anyone have a GIF of his drop kick on-sides attempt at the end of the game? I missed it.

Thanks!

He held in college, he'll be fine. If Janikowski ends up being the K, Ryan is going to have to learn to hold from the left side anyway.

 

[Grahamhawker]

Late in the game part of me was hoping for three and outs so we could see more Dickson bombs.

Fire Schotty, bring back Bevell.

lol

Unless Schottenheimer is actually better at scripting 3 and outs, and its all part of the strategy.

Or they could use a backup QB as a placeholder... or maybe Chris Carson.. that'd keep defenses on their toes.

Australian kickers rarely have a long follow thru. The 9-Iron punch was a good analogy, in our game we dont have time.
Trust me , he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve that they will keep until regular season. He will use the "Banana" kick soon and the whole NFL will freak out.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not only is he going to be a beast, this draft class is going to end up being very good.
Griffin, Dickson, Green, Dissly, Flowers, Penny....all will contribute. And that's not even including Jones, who could end up being very good.
