Saints add another role to Taysom Hill's repertoire

Thomas Morstead wants to continue to be the holder when the New Orleans Saints kick field goals. He wants that on record.

But, the punter understands why coaches might give that duty to one of his teammates this year.

Second-year quarterback Taysom Hill has practiced as the holder frequently through the first two weeks of training camp. There's no guarantee Hill will have that role when the season begins, partly because he's not yet a lock on the 53-man roster, but if Hill is around, it would make sense for him to be the holder on field goals, simply for the threat of fakes.
