No you weren't so far.

Punting Average - 10th
Net Average - 16th
Inside 20 - 29th
Fair Catches - 25th
KO average - 16th

No way he's earned those 2 picks yet.

Those 2 stats are a little misleading. Aside from the teams that play tonight, he's punted less than all but 3 teams.

6 teams actually, and Net Average isn't skewed though, and its exactly mediocre, as are his KO's. Middle of the pack is 12 punts, he's punted 10 times.

You may wanna hold off on the annointing oil.

SD, IND and NE have all punted 9 times, we've punted 10 times. Properly phrased, 3 teams have punted less than we have.

He's 11th in punt average, 12th net average and 12th in average return yards, and that includes the 43 yarder the team gave up against detroit. 16 PR yards since then. He's above average so far. He's not the second coming of Ray Guy, but he's getting it done.

off Morstead, back on topic:

I'll own up to the absolute lack of love I have shown for Devery. He has been consistent, and sometimes even spectacular.

if I have to consume Crow, does anyone object if I choose this:

Works for me, except you have to listen to this on repeat until you finish the bottle:

He is 12th in net average. Only punted 10 times which equates to 20% of his punts land inside the 20 and only 7 of his 10 punts have been returned for 8.4 yard average. tied for 4th with touchbacks on kickoffs. His stock is rising.

That surprises the heck out of me, and I find it hard to reconcile what I "see" on the field with what the stats seem to say. He sure looks great to me, but then that may be because I am used to REALLY awful play. On KOs alone, when Moorestead bangs it out of the endzone (as he's done several times) or hits it deep into the endzone, I want to cheer out loud. Last season, I never saw anything close to that. On his punts, they seem to hang forever and our coverage seems light years better than it has been - I attribute it to the punter and that hangtime but perhaps I shouldn't.

Further analysis is needed, but for the time being I'll trust my eyes and what I see and write off the stats as "misleading".

I think that you are just thrilled to see the Saints running game put away a team in the 4th quarter, which you have not seen since 2006, and that's got you exited about the team again.. And that is ok! Enjoy it!
