Chat with Morestead's Saints about Super Bowl berth

[producerarose]

I'm doing an interview with Thomas Morestead tomorrow morning and would love to toss your questions to him!

Please post your questions and I'll do my best to get them answered and posted so everyone can check them out!

with all the BCS alums on your team, I hope you're still representing SMU in that locker room and spreading the pony pride!! Did JJ's practice style (along with the late great Frank Gansz) prepare you well for NFL??

Ask him if he talks to defensive lineman about mechanical engineering

Ask him if he lobbied Payton for the drop kick with 1 second to go in the game. I would have loved to see him knock it through!

Lol that's a good one. Ask him if he still says "there it is" after each punt.

Seriously, a series of questions I have for him is: Does he ever practice kicking field goals? Would he back up Hartley or ever be expected to go in over Hartley to kick a long field goal?

The reason I ask is this: I was at the game when Hartley missed the FG against the Bucs to basically lose the game. To me, Hartley is not very good, and I have no confidence in him (despite the fact that he came thru last night). During last night's game, on 4th down in OT, I kept wondering whether, if I were Sean Payton and knowing what I know about Morestead, I might send him out there to try an extremely long field goal.

I noticed that during pre-game warm-ups during one of the Saints games I went to, Morestead was drop kicking balls from the 40 yard line through the goal posts. I want to say I've also witnessed him practice a kick off that went thru the goal posts.

At least at the beginning of the season they told him specifically not to kick FGs and to concentrate on his punting. Hopefully as he continues to mature as a top punter, they can work him into the rotation of a back up kicker.

Ask him how he spells his name! Jeez! MORSTEAD

It crossed my mind.

Does he really do that? If so, pure awesomeness. If not, it's going to go through my mind everytime I see him kick now.
