HARTLEY (merged X 3)

Did they ever raise that thing that people were worried about kicked footballs hitting?

That was one reason I wanted the Saints to have a way-out-of-hand lead in the 4th, so Morstead could punt and hit that thing, just for fun.

No. From my seats on the 50 yard line, Morstead nailed a couple of practice punts within 10 feet of it. I couldn't tell the horizontal distance, but vertically he was close.
