What’s Wrong with Boswell?

[tapeANaspirin2it]

it's amazing how often kickers have a few great years and then all of a sudden they suck.

Most kickers enter the league as an undrafted free agent. They usually win a battle with a higher paid veteran to get the job. You would think that would be the biggest pressure, even more than a big game. They are kicking for their life. Win the job and change their whole life.

Even if they don't have a long NFL career, just imagine being in your 20s and having just 3 years of 400K income.

My point is, you would think that is where the pressure is, breaking into the league, not a few years later after you are an established starter. But somehow it seems that's when they start cracking under pressure.

As suggest by others you put him on IR say get your crap together for next year and sign someone to go the rest of the way this season then let them battle it out in training camp

Why the **** wasn't he cut yesterday morning? I don't care about the money and neither should the Steelers at this point. It is about winning games and Boz is losing games for us or, at the bare minimum, putting us in position to lose games. Cut his ******* ***!!!!!

 

[ChampYINZ]

It’s ***. He’s got money now he’s getting good ***. And he sends dick pics to Pitt girls.

What's wrong with Boswell

His problem lies in his Medulla Oblongata

 

[Hines57]

Guy got over confident in himself. Its not atypical to see a player get a big pay day and then see their game slip. See LaMarr Woodley for reference, a whole lot of LaMarr Woodley.

So we gained $14M in cap space from Bell and now we're gonna have to give $4.8M of it back when we cut Boswell. ******* sucks

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

but hey its Tuesday,, haven't heard of any moves going down yet. Looks like we are sticking with him.

 

[Tommy8Maddox]

I ask you would Belichick allow this to continue?

No way. BB would have kickers trying out ASAP.

 

[Skott]

Bellichik would have left Boswell and Tomlin in Oakland

No way. BB would have kickers trying out ASAP.

 

[milkman dan]

That is a cap issue that has been discussed. but yeah you could bring in another kicker and make him inactive.

I'd do this. We have that luxury right now of being able to sit him and sign a guy as long as the roster can allow it. If new guy can cut it, let him hang around and kick it out in camp.

Kickers coming in for tryouts. Bye Boz

 

[wig]

I suspect after Sunday the market for his dick picks may have dried up a bit.

BUT, Boswell will be participating in the tryouts. Hmm. I predict that Bos will win that tryout and Tomlin can claim that "the problem has been addressed, embraced, and now we can get back to the lab, obviously."

We need a new lab.

 

[t-man]

If this team, with this offense, is in need of boz to bail them out week after week, we have bigger ******* problems than our kicker.

[Steelers12]

You mean like he bailed them out all last year against bad teams with bad QBs ?

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

No matter how magic his johnson, Ms. Kauffman will say buh bye if Boz loses his job.

 

[FordFairLane]

I say put him on IR, and sign a new kicker for the rest of the reason. Then bring Boz to camp and give him one more shot to get it together.

This. We gain nothing by cutting him. Try him and Forbaith and Walsh out with winner takes all. If he loses sign the other and IR him and say get your head right and try again next year.
