New Orleans Saints top 25 countdown: Thomas Morstead, No. 18

Utah_Saint · 07-09-2012, 02:41 PM

In a defensive battle, a game of 3 and outs, I'd rather have the punter that's going to net 10 more yards than his opponent. Sometimes it's the difference in the two punters that moves the ball. In a high octane offense like the Saints have, it's probably not as noticeable, but I'd still rather have that in my favor than not.

I'd rather have a stud LB and a mediocre punter than the other way around. Same goes for every other position on both sides of the ball.

Fullback and Long-snapper are debatable though. But there's a reason they aren't drafted very often or very high either.
