Morstead was injured last year and it showed. He's been one of the more consistent punters (and handsomely paid, I might add) in my lifetime so I'd be hesitant to crown Gillikin an upgrade after two pre-season games.

I do like how the kid can boom it though. That one he out-kicked his coverage was a thing of beauty, though somewhat ineffective

Unfortunately TM6 fell off the past season or two. He was an absolute monster for over a decade.

I think he might be done.

Punters are a weird breed =)

Moorstead was a beast. Hope the new kid approaches his level of performance.

He’s retired and made NOLA home. He doesn’t want to play for another organization.

Didn't he recently go to John Carney's free agent camp and punt? I'm not sure if it was just to help, or to keep his name out there.

Not sure why the OP got downvotes. He's right. Morstead was bad last year. Gillikin looked great in camp last year and so far this year.

Chad was right on Morstead just 5 years early.

I was right at the precise moment. It was originally about overspending for the position having the best offense in league while having shite kickers
