Talk:Drop kick

message: Am I the only one who thinks this article is almost about drop goals rather then drop kicks. The start of each section, first mentions the drop goal, for each sport, only mentioning that the drop kick is used to score the goal. Should each section instead start by describing the drop kick and how it is performed. Then go into it's applications? This is pretty confusing, especialy since Drop Goal is redirected to this page, which I believe is an error. There is also the page Field goal, which further complicates matters or just plain confuses me POds 02:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, the way I see it (not that I rampage through Wikipedia or anything) if there's not much discussion, it's fair game. BTW, I was also bold in using the term field goal, rather than drop goal, in my neck of the woods it always been FG.. --Paul 14:37, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yer, I'm very used to field goal although if someone was to say drop goal, i'd definatly know what they ment. There must be a close to 50/50 use of the words in Aust! POds 15:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe in union circles, in league it's pretty much universally FG. --Paul 10:58, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  New to me too. I dont think i've actualy ever called it either one strictly. I'm aware of 'field goal' just as much as i am of 'drop goal'. What I'm trying to say is, i dont even know which one i used the most... maybe field?.. drop... sounds the same :) POds 04:04, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Flutie's drop kick 

message: Did Calvillo perform a drop kick? As I recall the ball did not touch the ground, making it a punt rather than a drop kick. Qutezuce 07:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is the recap of the Grey Cup game on the TSN site here (scroll down to the CFL section near the bottom) (you probably will need to create an account on the TSN site). The kick itself is obscured by people on the sideline, but to me it looks like Calvillo throws the ball out while he is getting tackled, and when he kicks it he is already leaning way back due to the tackle in progress. A drop-kick would have been very hard to produce under such circumstances to my eyes, especially one that got some decent air. A lot of people seem to think that a drop-kick is the same as a punt, probably because so few people have actually seen a drop-kick, and because the name "drop-kick" could also refer to a punt (in which the ball is dropped directly onto the punter's foot).

thread_title: Calvillo drop kick?

message: Well, first thing I can see is that Mike Ditka (who if I'm not mistaken, was a coach), is listed in the article, so by Gator1's logic, Bill Belichick should be in the article as well. --OntarioQuizzer 17:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that we should include many of the details relating to Flutie's drop kick. It is the only drop kick in 60 years, making it very notable in relation to this article. Qutezuce 17:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, I think that the current state of the article is a good compromise position as it mentions Belichick's important role in use of Flutie's drop kick (much like Ditka's disapproval) without overwhelming the article with it. --OntarioQuizzer 13:44, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
