New Orleans Saints mailbag for Sept. 24, part 2

Another round of mailbag questions for you. Here is part 1 from earlier today.
I'm fresh out of new queries for this week, so if you have any new questions send them to Saintsmailbag@timespicayune.com. And remember to include your name and place of residence. We need those for publication. I'll answer them on Friday.
Q: Thomas Morstead quietly had a fantastic performance with the kickoffs in the opener against Detroit. What have you thought of his performance so far? Wesley Neil Barbaree, Baton Rouge.
A: Morstead has kicked off extremely well for the Saints. In two games, he’s sent 14 of 17 kickoffs inside the opponents’ 5-yard. The Eagles’ average start after a kickoff was their own 27. The Lions started on average at their own 31. Both numbers were skewed by big kickoff returns. Morstead did shank a kickoff out of bounds last week but all but one of his other nine kickoffs landed inside the Eagles’ 5-yard line or in the end zone.
