Morstead
 

Is he injured? I haven't noticed him kicking much.
Also why do teams need a FG kicker AND a punter? I imagine some are good enough to do both.

Re: Morstead
 

Few are good enough to do both. Although I'm sure there are several that are adequate, but not nearly reliable to do both. Plus if the punter or kicker gets injured, the other has his duties for the remainder of the game. You have one guy that does both and he gets injured, you're **** out of luck for both positions.

Re: Morstead
 

Yeah this has been tried before and usually don't work out. The different types of kicking are so highly specialized.

Re: Morstead
 

He hasn't been worth the money the past few years.... seems like when we need a good punt he shanks it for about 30 yards more he needs to...

Re: Morstead
 

Don't you remember the great Tom Fears "Ollie Cordill" Punter/WR or DB experiment?

Re: Morstead
 

Morstead explained sometime back that he was happy to give up the kickoff duties because the kicking motions for punting and placekicking are radically different and he felt it was hurting his punting.

RUSSELL ERXLEBEN enough said?

Morstead has to be on the cap causality list yet again this year. Probably at the bottom but on it non the less. 3.1 cap savings hanging over his head. lol

Re: Morstead
 

We aren't really in cap trouble for 2017...yet.

Morestead Is one of the best in the NFL every season. He aint going anywhere.

Re: Morstead
 

He's a good punter, but is he really worth that kinda money?

Our past three seasons would have been much better with a good young FA guard or linebacker...
