Remember Steve Weatherford? His NFL career ended..........................

"On September 4, 2015, the Giants released Weatherford due to his large contract" (5 years @ 12.75 MIL)

In the age of specialization, it's these kinds of attitudes by players that make me long back to the days of football past. The Patriots seem to be the closest team today that espouses and expects multiple skill sets from football players. It seemed for a fleeting moment SP was headed there with our Saints.

Exactly. Now if they want to bring in some competition and Morestead gets beat out, fine. But as far as I'm concerned, don't mess with what's working. Focus on the issues with the team. Punting and/or cap space aren't one of them in 2017...Yet anyway.

when it comes to punting especially for an offense like the saints I always look at things like this

Beyond the sheer power that opened so many eyes in the postseason, though, Scott was arguably most impressive for his control. More than half of his punts (31 of 55) pinned opponents inside their own 20-yard line, the best rate in the FBS or the NFL, while only five (!) went for touchbacks. More than a third (19 of 55) were fair caught, and after accounting for return yards,2 Alabama also led the nation in net punting at 44.7 yards per attempt. (Again, that number would have led the pros.) “I haven’t really looked at my furthest distance,” Scott told al.com earlier this month, “because you could hit a 75-yard punt, but if it has no hang time and isn’t in the right place, it doesn’t do much for you because the coverage is going to be off.”
Great Scott! The Best Punter in Football Is Alabama

Then there is your P/K

Austin Rehkow, P, Idaho
Height: 6-3. Weight: 215.
Projected Round (2017): 5-7.

12/24/16: Rehkow averaged 41.6 yards per punt and made a long of 60 yards. He also was kicking field goals for Idaho and was 26-for-29 with a long of 50 yards.

8/20/16: Rehkow has been a model of consistency over three seasons. He averaged 47.8 yards per punt as a freshman and sophomore. Rehkow had long punts of 73 and 65 yards, respectively, so he has a powerful leg as well. As a junior, Rehkow averaged 45.7 yards per punt with a long of 65 yards.

Brings me back to pinning teams inside the 20. I wish punters would use coffin corner kicks. It's a lost art I tell ya
