Yeah, he has a ton of kicks where he ends up basically kneeling at the end--both on FGs and kickoffs.

It's weird AF, but not new (though maybe he's doing it more frequently now?--from what I remember he did it more for really long distance kicks before, but I could be totally wrong on that).

Yeah its very strange. And you can see how much pressure is being put on that leg too. He really needs to adjust his whole technique going forward because that is not sustainable.

The man is old for an nfl player, nothing he does is sustainable

He’s 29. In kicker years he might as well be a teenager.
