Kicking Game

I know it's still a little early, but the Saints kicking game is in very good hands right now. Carney has been great, and Morstead has been getting it done on kickoffs. What in the heck will the Saints do after next week when Hartley is eligible to comeback from his suspension? At this point I cannot see how the Saints can keep two kickers. Obviously, Hartley is a better asset for the long term of the team and can kick longer field goals, as Carney is very reliable from 40 yards and under, but not a long term answer. I guess an easy answer would be to keep Carney for the short stuff and Hartley for the long stuff, but is that really an option, especially since the Saints had to activate a 3rd QB? Any thoughts?
