Seahawk Michael Dickson comes out booming punts and breaking records
Seahawks punter Michale Dickson warms up before Sunday’s game. (Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times)It was a recipe that seemed ripe for a history-making performance — Seattle’s booming rookie punter Michael Dickson playing his first game in the light air of Denver’s Broncos Stadium at Mile High, altitude 5,280 feet.
And indeed it was, something that may have gotten somewhat lost in the disappointment of Seattle’s 27-24 loss to the Broncos.
Dickson, drafted in the fifth round by Seattle last April, finished with an average of 59 yards on six punts and a net average (which is the yards of the punts minus the yards of the returns) of 57.5.
