Regardless, I'm glad he's signed long term.

I would correct you, if I could. All part of the service on B&G. :D

However the facts are:
We got Morstead in the 5th round - 164th pick overall.

To do that we traded for that pick from the Eagles with
our 7th round pick - 222nd pick overall
PLUS
our 5th rounder in 2010.

I make that

Take a bow Rugby Saint II

When you look back and think about it. The Colts will never forget what a horse Morstead was in Super Bowl XLIV. That crucial kick. Did I write crucial? I meant CRUCIAL

Re: New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead well on his way to NFL record books

Crucial onside kick in SB

effectively took Percy harvin out of the game in the NFCCG, harvin was having a great year on kick returns

I'd say he was worth the draft picks we gave up to get him, we got the best punter/kickoff guy in the league because of it
