CLEVELAND: Saints still winning, just a different way than before

Same jerseys, different team. If it seems as if you New Orleans Saints fans are watching a dissimilar football squad these last few weeks, well, you are.

He’s absolutely right about Money Morstead.

Glad you indicated "For the Record," Counselor. FWIW would have been a bit tacky.

Great point about the Saints kicking and punting. Also, after winning Special Teams Player of the Month for September, Morstead is at it again:

New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Morstead had another strong performance in win over Jaguars

From the article.

For the entire game, the average Jacksonville drive started at the Jaguars’ 18-yard line. The average Saints drive started at their own 34. Let’s put it this way, when the field is 82 yards long for one team and 66 yards long for the other, the result is predictable.

Texting back and forth with my nephew during the game, I kept referencing winning the field position battle. And it definitely had an impact and one of the biggest reasons we won that game.

Pretty amazing to see the defense and special teams step up so huge in these 4 games.

And somebody please explain the travesty of Morstead having only been to one Pro Bowl.

If the offense is good enough than maybe the worse starting position doesn't matter as much, plus longer field means longer drives which means the other defense gets more tired

I'd actually be interested in seeing the stats of the win/loss of the team with the better starting field position
