I don't think so - the point of the kick for points is that the ball has to touch the ground - hence the kick from last year (I believe that it was Flutie) where the kicker let it bouce on the ground before kicking it through for an old school PAT / FG.
The tee prevents the ball from touching the ground, which is why it doesn't count for point, IIRC.
Imagine if we have Seattle's punter (one that has distance). The defense has to be 10 yards away. They do a drop kick and then a traditional punt. If the ball sails through the uprights, its a FG too. We all know Dirk couldn't make it 64 yards, but maybe a good punter can.
I thought it was an interesting move. At that point in the game it would have given us a shot at 3 points... Get the ball back and go for seven (eight) more. If you're going to do it, that was the time.
How embarrassing after all the build up he didn't even get the ball airborne. You don't have to look hard to see why Whiz doesn't have alot of faith in Rackers he screws up often. Whether its us punting instead of trying some longer FG's or Rackers not kicking it deep on the kickoffs Whiz does not have faith in this guy! Neither do I really I always hope our games don't come down to a FG, I feel he would choke.
One thing we can all agree on, is that Donovan McNabb had no idea you could attempt this.
Outstanding. Very well played, sir.
Go Cards!!!

I dunno -- 67 yards is a long way and I doubt he has practiced it
Its kinda like standing on the tee box and saying -- I have to hit this 300 yards and then snap hooking it for 125

Dude, it's a longshot kick that you have to hit perfectly. You also have to put everything you have behind it, meaning you're not concentrating on form. In other words, unless you capture the perfect storm (power and form), you're going to miss, and likely miss badly. It was a longshot of a kick. If it goes in? Great, we get three points. If not? No harm, no foul.

Speaking of that play. I wonder if you could drop the ball on the ground, and then run the ball instead. Might be some sort of illegal formation, but if you drop the ball on the ground, then start running with the ball and do a whole bunch of laterals. That could be interesting too. Almost Rugby style.

If you can't consistently get kickoffs into the end zone, you are not hitting a 68 yard free kick.
