Pretty sure it was McMahon's idea. Both Lutz and Moorestead have the leg to put it through the end zone almost every time.

Kicking short is a good tactic IF you have a good coverage unit. The Saints didn't and McMahon didn't recognize that. One of the many reasons why he's no longer with the team.
