I was surprised I made it through a page without someone asking Danno his opinion of the Morestead deal...hehe

I seem to remember a certain kick in 2010…I can’t remember…hold it…it’s coming to me…someone help me out…Ooohhhh yeah, a perfect, hard to handle, onside kick that completely turned the momentum of Superbowl 44 around to the Saints favor, and took away a possession from the AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts. The outcome of that game could have easily been a Colts victory without that extra possession. He has been doing a magnificent job ever since. Is two draft picks worth a Superbowl victory? Personally, I think so. Just my opinion.

1. Thomas Morstead isn't the reason we won the Superbowl.
2. Thomas Morstead isn't the only kicker that can kick on-sides.
3. The reason it worked was the surprise, not the kick.
4. The kick bounced off a normally sure handed WR.

You can say he's the reason we won the Superbowl, I'll go with Brees, PT, Colston, Porter, Greer etc.

He's a punter.

I'm certainly not saying he's the reason we son the Superbowl. I agree with you. There are many reasons we won that game, and Morestead was, I feel, a big part of that victory, just like Brees, Greer, Porter, Colston, Hartley, etc. It was a true team effort that day and Morestead was a big part of the team. With that successful onside kick, we took away a possession from the Colts and we gained an extra possession. That is a possible point swing of 14 points. We won that game by 14 points. Am I reaching? Probably. But I'm glad it was Morestead kicking that ball that day.

I think it was Scott Fujita challenging Manning to an Oreo lick off that really won the game

He is also a great guy. He was one of the last people signing autographs at training camp. And oh yeah, he played rugby where kicking for space is critical.
