With the new rules around kick offs, the old style of pop up onside have kind of died because the kicking team can no longer get a running start hence why onside kick rates have declined. The kick Bullock was going for is tough to do, you are talking kicking an area on the ball about an inch or two wide at exactly the right angle. It's a low probability kick but so is the onside in general.
A lot of teams are trying to experiment with different approaches to onside kicks, my guess is they actually got that to work in practice he simply kicked it better to get the 10 yards he needed which really is just an inch one way or the other on ball striking. This seems pretty low on the list to get bent out of shape over.
This begs the question --
Who in this thread appears to be "bent out of shape?"
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
