Thomas Morstead Appreciation Thread

[circumstances]

A little love for the punter.

How good did this guy look?



I posted this in The Club, and thought it merited repeating:

"Probably the under the radar signing that will have the most impact on wins and losses this season.

Between stability at holder for Colonel Sanders, and that vet presence just digging out punts and pinning bitches back near their goal line is so key."

Great thread. I was skeptical when we signed him but he was awesome on Sunday

Field position is overlooked a lot of the time. If your average depth of start is the 20 vs. the 40 it makes a huge difference. It basically gives the D two new sets of downs to stop a drive before points are scored.

and pinning people inside their 10 or 5 will invariably lead to very bad shenanigans (for them) over the course of a season.

i'm not sure how the Pats got to their five right before the Jones forced fumble and Ingram scoop and score (as an example), but that's the kinda stuff i'm talking about.

why skeptical?

thought he was too old/best days behind him or something?

Last year's punter had the hottest wife but this new punter did a great job on Sunday

i was stoked.

morstead has been one of the most solid punters in the league for a long time.

we better hope that this holds up elsewhise Michael Palardy's dad is going to come back and cuss us all out saying i told you so, along with the rest of the geniuses in here who said that MP's holding did NOT affect Sanders whatsoever. I miss that guy, never met a man so passionate about punting in my entire life. Hell even our full time high school punter loved when we would be up 40-50 points so he could go in and play other positions that game.

Like the Bills did

He had an excellent game. Big time credit to him, especially on that short snap that could have been a disaster. He kicked ass on Sunday.

They got pinned when their returner tried to fake catching then bailing, hoping it would bounce into the end zone, but our guy made a nice play on it and caught it at the 5.
