Remember Tracy Porter? He lost one step and we cut him like a bad habit. Now there was a HERO. Number 5 is no hero.

Number 5 spends about a full minute of playing time on the field each week, if he is LUCKY. One minute.

The O-line, as deficient as they are, battle it out in the trenches for a full sixty minutes. This man waltzes on, in a Dome, with a home team crowd and schizophrenia takes over.

DUMP HIM. Let's see what Morestead has in that TRULY TALENTED leg of his.

Morestead is a punter only. He didn't have great stats as a FG kicker in college.

The first miss was aweful, his typical pull left. The second kick looked good and straight but was just not lined up well. Don't get me wrong, Hartley gives me "Reggie on a punt return" heartburn, but up to this game he was doing OK.

If he needs a coach to tell him how to kick the ball between the posts after he made the 3 biggest kicks in saints history, he is in serious trouble

No, he needs a shrink. He needs someone to help him prepare to get out of his head and just do what he does -- which is kick a football long distances sometimes accurately. But, the question isn't whether physically he can do it. He has the physical ability.

Someone here said he is a head case. Agreed. He needs someone to help him with the mental side of the job.

For what we are paying him, he can afford to hire someone to teach him meditation, visualization, grounding and focus exercises or something.

Yes, but he had 34 rushing yards and 4 tackles

Is Kickalicious available? Hartley is good just not consistent.

Wait, he misses a couple of kicks in a blowout and people call for his job? No posts about the Brown getting blown by every game and getting Drew crushed. The guy is human. You people here have got spoiled with out past kickers.

We just need to grab the kid from Tulane next year. Santos is money from 53 yards in.
