Last season as a rookie for the Seattle Seahawks, Michael Dickson was the best punter in the NFL if you look at his accolades. In 2018, Dickson was named to the Pro Bowl and also named an All-Pro while averaging 48.2 yards per punt. That gives him the eighth best average for a punter in a single season in NFL history.
“I think Mike has really found his groove,” coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday. “I think early on, for whatever reason, he wasn’t quite as sharp with his consistency. I don’t know, at least six or eight weeks of it, maybe it was longer than that, he really hit it. He’s doing great. I think he was not hitting the ball as cleanly as he had hoped. I know he felt that was [the case]. He’s been on it at least since the bye it seems. It was probably the time it seems like it turned around I think.” – From Seahawks Wire
His numbers are definitely down from a season ago but the Aussie punter has found a groove again with his ability to pin teams team in their own territory. The Seahawks are in great position this season due to his ability to limit good field position. Seattle is preparing to take on Arizona to keep their hopes of getting the number one seed in the NFC.
