Oct 28, 2007 - afl players should teach him they have the longest kicks in the world

TimHowardII Says:

Dec 5, 2007 - Not really. It's just that a gridiron ball is more pointed. I found it extremely uncomfortable kicking the ball straight with a gridiron ball. I can kick a rugby ball straight and it doesn't hurt.

abcperson Says:

Dec 5, 2007 - Yeah but what im saying is, is that thats the technique used in Rugby.

Apr 8, 2008 - huh?

hilmic Says:

Apr 21, 2008 - Eh, Becks doesn't know the importance of hang time. In Futbol, what matters is distance, speed and direction. He can be a good punter, but no NFL team can afford to sign him as a punter. Maybe for a preseason game for publicity.

May 3, 2008 - haha dude acted just like i do when i punt, im like why cant i just kick it this way why i gotta kick it that way?

jasisrad Says:

Jun 6, 2008 - cuz this was filmed last year when Bush was supposed to be a breakout star, and the Saints were supposed to challenge for the big game after going to the NFC championship game the year before then choked. Bad.

jasisrad Says:

Jun 6, 2008 - Actually, if you watch Beckham when he makes contact with the ball, it's actually in the right position. He just dropped it from a different angle. Anyone else notice that?

iciclemister Says:

Jun 7, 2008 - lol.....can beckham bent the football?

989401 Says:

Jun 10, 2008 - Everything they both did was wrong. Their ball drop was mostly the problem.

GdubLongSnapper Says:

Jun 23, 2008 - not every punter has the same ball drop. if it works for them, it works. so don't worry about it. i've seen a punter who dropped the point down to his foot but he punted an average of 65 yards. just because it isn't proper doesn't mean they can't do it.

jzcrazy5 Says:

Jun 25, 2008 - bush is a RB idiot

gotigrz Says:

Jul 16, 2008 - i agree that not every punter has the same technique, but an AVERAGE of 65 yrds.... i gotta call BS on that. the best punter in NFL history cant' do that.

GdubLongSnapper Says:

Jul 16, 2008 - it's true. there was a punter at GW High School in Virginia, alongside the kick, Rafael Garcia [you may have heard of him] was from South Africa where he played rugby and when he came to America and punted for the high school he averaged 65 yards a punt in his junior year. after his 7th game [senior year] he was in a car accident and was killed. he would have been the best punter in NFL history if he decided to go
