John DeShazier: New Orleans Saints mailbag

Never a dull week here with the New Orleans Saints Mailbag. We’re always appreciative of the interest, and for the inquiries. Here we go:

‏@brees4l1fe: Why does Wil Lutz keep getting his kicks blocked?

‏@ndominguez1217: When is Wil Lutz getting cut?

JD: These questions lead in the same direction, so this answer should suffice for both: The blocked kick against the Giants was a breakdown in protection, so that one can’t be pinned on Lutz. If it’s not, then we really are talking about three kicks – a deflected field-goal attempt against Oakland that may have been low, but ultimately was successful, and a couple of misses against Oakland from 50 and 61 yards.
