It's a drop kick. Still legal in the NFL. In slow motion it's possible to see that the ball actually hits the ground before the kicker contacts it.

It can be used to score the ball such as a field goal or extra point too. Doug Flutie's last career NFL play was a drop kick to score an extra point in New England. It's the only scoring NFL drop kick in the Super Bowl NFL Era.

I know what it is. My post was questioning the lack of execution. Dude kicked the ball straight up in the air to a starting WR (Beasley) like a fair catch. Use your soccer skills and hope for a "one hop off the turf".

C'mon, gotta give your team a chance to make a play (see the great Thomas Morestead in SB). Seachickens needs to look for a kicker replacement this off season. 50 year old SJ ain't the answer.
