Unsung hero.......Thomas Morstead
 
Lets give some props to our punter. He leads the league in touch backs and he is always pinning teams back on punts. When we are pinned back on our own end zone, he always comes up with a huge punt. When your playing field position its great to have a guy who can kick us out of trouble. He's a big reason why our special teams have been doing so well. Here's to you TM.....Geaux Saints........

Most likely the best player at his position in the league, and its like what....his 3rd year?

strato 11-13-2011 06:30 PM

Yep worth what we gave..... has been all along.

Does his job, really good punter.

claus808 11-13-2011 07:01 PM

Best in league.

I have a soft spot for LEGATRON as a person.
He was ALWAYS the last player to stop signing autographs during training camp. Nice guy for kids to meet. He appreciates his celebrity.

We consistently get bailed out of bad field position and get field position that the D doesn't have to defend because of our punter. My MVP for This game.

Sounds like a really nice person overall, he's a hell of a punter i'll tell you that much

MVP of the game - either Morstead or Colston ( came through constantly during the drives)

QBREES9 11-13-2011 07:41 PM

He's is one of the best, if not the best.

He isn't perfect.
He is the most consistent performer on our inconsistent team.

This is so true.....he is always the last out there signing autographs. He's got one heck of a leg.:doh: Let's not forget he played rugby and in rugby kicking is as huge a part of the game as tackling.

Now wait a minute....Danno wasn't against drafting TM he just didn't want to give up that many picks when we already had limited picks. He had a valid point however, the pick has turned out to be another incredible asset.

It did the first season...:)..trust Payton..

Field position has been BIG all season and Morstead has been great.
Since his arrival, he has been clutch; long and accurate.
Take away some of the lapses in concentration, many more kicks could have been downed inside the 10.
Example: Guy calls for a fair catch...he's dead meat. I've seen guys standing around sucking their thumb
and let the ball bounce on the 8 and go into the endzone.
He is a great asset to this team. I hope he is around and playing at a high level for a long time.

Nah. Not trying to call Danno out. His logic is usually better thought through than mine. I just come down opposite his view on drafting kickers. It's all good.

Ahh somebody actually gets it.

And I love the "Legatron" name. I typically despise them, but THAT is a cool nickname.

strato 11-14-2011 11:24 AM

But where are those picks we gave up..are they playing?

Have they helped the team win a superbowl?
