this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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.
