Default Re: Drop Kick rule from Longest Yard

In the Canadian Football League, something similar is attempted every once in awhile (like once a season or so). The reason being that, in the CFL, if you kick the ball through the endzone (without going through the uprights), it counts for 1 point. You don't need to drop-kick the ball to score the one point, though, a player can punt it out of the air and through the endzone.

I saw a player try this a couple of years ago when the score was tied late in the game and he was about to run into a wall of defenders. He tried to kick it through the endzone from about twenty yards out before getting tackled. He managed to get the kick off, but it didn't have enough oomph to make it through the endzone.
