Morestead re-writing the record book

bearze34 said

This record is only being broken because our team scores a lot of td's and they changed the kickoff to ensure many more touchbacks. Morestead is a punter and while he is a good one he is not the best by any stretch. Dan Marino re-wrote record books.....this guy is a punter benefitting from a rule change.

Sorry but I disagree. Morestead is leading the league by a good bit. Also, the NFL has kicked off from the 35 for a lot longer than they kicked from the 30. It isn't like he just limped past the record either, he is on pace to destroy the record about as statistically bad as any sports record I've seen broken. The fact he is doing this as one of the leagues best punters when some teams are carrying kickoff specialists that do nothing but kickoff is impressive.

I know what you are thinking though, imagine if Morten Anderson kicked off from the 35!
Oh wait, he did.
