I hope I'm wrong, but I haven't heard anything about us re-signing the only high spot on our special teams last year- punter Thomas Morstead. This guy is a weapon! He is, and has been for some years, one of the best punters in the league. Mike Westhoff, one of the best special teams coordinators in league history (he was Shula's special teams coordinator and he worked with Morstead in New Orleans), is very complimentary of Morstead in his recent book. Also, if you watched the Dolphins this year, you know how much of a weapon this guy is. We won the field position battle most of the time because of Morstead's directional and deep kicking game. We need him!

I just read that Morstead is going to the damned Jets. We got a kid from the Patriots. It makes no sense to me that punters are moving around the AFC East, but I don't see how we made out better with the moves. We've got no idea what we got in this kid Bailey, but we know what we had in Morstead, a damn fine punter. After the last two mediocre punters, we finally got one who got us into advantageous field positions often, unlike those last two. So, for some inexplicable reason, we let go a known excellent punter for an unknown quantity. Some things Greer does I just don't get at all.
....(edit)Uh, I just read up on the kid Bailey. He sounds like he could be an adequate replacement. We'll see.

An injured Pro Bowler.
Yes, he supposedly was ready to play again, but he didn't play and was supposedly "suspended" for some unknown reason before being CUT! Belichick cut a Pro Bowl punter?! For what? Who knows, he hasn't said. As far as I'm concerned, it just reinforces my opinion that Bill is a lousy personnel man, and ALWAYS HAS BEEN!
