A special coach: Mike Westhoff has Saints' kicking units thriving
 

Mike Westhoff tells New Orleans Saints players that he sleeps well at night because he doesn’t have a conscience.

The 70-year-old special teams coach can be demanding and *****ly, but in his 14 months with the Saints, he has helped turn the kicking game into a strength for this team.

In 2018, consider the following:

*The Saints blocked two punts and converted first downs on two fake punts.

*Wil Lutz was the most accurate field-goal kicker in franchise history.

*Thomas Morstead remained one of the most effective punters in the NFL, and the Saints limited punt returns as well as any team in the league.

*Long snapper Zach Wood has done one or two interviews all season, a sign that he has had zero issues.

Firing Greg McMahon & bringing on Westhoff was HUGE for our s/t.

Taysom Hill, Banjo & Hardee have been solid all season long on special teams.

Coaching matters.
