When he actually worked, that is.CSTShareTweetShareShareSaints 2018 Year in Review: Thomas MorsteadChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsThomas Morstead is an asset to the New Orleans Saints. There’s just no other way to put it.There’s a reason the Saints gave Morstead a five-year extension in the 2018 offseason. He’s one of the best in the game at flipping the field when given the opportunity. For the Saints in 2018, he just wasn’t given the opportunity all that often. Morstead kicked a career-low 43 punts (again with zero blocks against), for 1,996 total punt yards and a 46.4 average.Morstead went on to be named Pro Football Focus’s Special Teams Player of the Year.Thomas Morstead - At a GlanceApproximate Value: 3 As great as Morstead was in 2018, he was one of many New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl snubs. Presumably, the fact that the team was not calling for his services as often as other teams in the NFL was held against him. It’s hard to outright deny Morstead’s Pro Bowl worthiness, though:Morstead was just as good in the postseason:Morstead might not be the cheapest punter, what with a $4.2 million dollar cap hit in 2019, but he’s shown to be worth every penny. We sure have been waiting for this Thursday night showcase. Top overall draft pick Baker Mayfield vs. No. 3 selection Sam Darnold, a mano a mano between the rookie quarterbacks.Oh, wait. Mayfield is a bench jockey in Cleveland right now, while Darnold is winging touchdowns and interceptions for the Jets.Enthusiasm peaked after Darnold destroyed Detroit in New York’s opener Marshon Lattimore Saint Jersey , then came to a near halt when he struggled against Miami. The Browns have a developing defense led by the NFL’s No. 1 draft choice in 2017, Myles Garrett. If Darnold can stay upright and cool, New York could win.But that’s hardly the history for the Jets. You know, just when things are looking up …The Jets, ranked 21st in the AP Pro32, are 3-point underdogs to No. 26 Cleveland. That’s the value of a field goal, or three extra points. Maybe in the Browns’ case, we shouldn’t go there considering what happened in New Orleans with all the flubbed kicks.Of course, they have a new kicker — and will get their first win of the century. Well, not quite that long.BROWNS, 17-16KNOCKOUT POOLYes, we survived with the Rams after the Saints let us down in Week 1.
