The NFL is changing the length of the field?

On punts and knockoffs Moresteads value is diminished because of poor special teams play and out inability to tackle.

It may just be me but it seems opponents in 2012 took it out of the end zone more on us than we did on them.

They know we can't tackle.

No, they moved the kick-off up 5 yards, so the distance to the endzone is approximately 5 yards shorter.

You're an engineer aren't you?

I was, and the striping on an NFL field isn't lazer like precise. A simple micrometer would easily show that its not exactly 5 yards.

I'd estimate at least a 1 inch bandwidth of accuracy from sideline to sideline.

It is possible, and quite likely, that at some point along that line it does measure exactly 5 yards.

Careful. precision could rewrite some record books.

So, your theorizing that the width of stripes on an NFL regulation field is to compensate for margin of error?

Excellent, I sense a new debate about the importance of the punter forming!

And on that basis, this thread should be moved to the conspiracy area LOL.

Morstead for the first time in his years with the saints had a chance to show us how good he is as a punter. offense gave him more three and outs in 2012 than any previous year.

what impressed me most last year was the improvement in corner kicks. inside the 10 was great. i look for better next year in coffin corner kicking. lost art and a deadly skill for any punter to have.

sorry real old school and really appreciate this skill. This could mean the difference in 2 to 3 wins a year

redo his contract to a longer term and kick in the signing bonus to reduce the cap hit.

Don't say you're sorry. Field position is still critical, and while the average fan might not understand that, the rest of us DO understand it.

So when do we start calling them "Elite" punters who command that type of money?

I just still laugh when people use it for QB's so why not punters? LOL
