“Before the play, when we ran it in practice, John Carney would always tell me to kick it at 10% because it’s just such a short kick. In the game, right before I went on the field, he grabbed me and said, ‘You need to kick this at 1%’, because I was so amped. It was just such a stressful moment.” Saints punter Thomas Morstead rehashed the moments leading up to the most unlikely play in Super Bowl history, ‘Ambush’. But while Morstead was just a rookie at the time, his work ethic, demeanor and self-awareness prepared him for that moment long before Sean Payton made the call.
