Don't get me wrong. I'd much prefer a healthy Boz. But he isn't. And if his muscle pulls in the game you are screwed. Better to strategize around Wright. Direction the kickoffs and try to pin inside 25. Play call around a 43 yard max field goal. You can't waste a hat on a game day back up kicker.
You kinda gotta go with the 12 year old kicker

The sad thing is he made a 46-yard FG with ease today and Tomlin didn't even give him a chance against Washington when he should have. He played well today.

If Boz is 100% you go with him. If not you go with Wright. Dude is from my area in PA. Well 5 or so miles away. Feiler also.
The problem with groins and Hammies they turn from 100% to done in one bad move.
Yeah let boz rest... if we lose to Cleveland because of field goals we never deserved to move on
If Boz is healthy you play him. It is the Wright thing to do. I liked the newbee but his kickoffs don't exactly get the distance I prefer. And the last thing you want in the playoffs is the opposing teams have a short field to work with due to good returns.

Several of his kicks were 1-5 yards in the endzone, most teams down it there. OUR special teams seem to have a hard time covering so the Browns ran it out and managed to get to the 25-ish or better, benefitting from the risk of return. This again shows me BUBBLES needs to be replaced.

He made those career kicks yesterday but he is terrible on kickoffs. When he's played our opponents are typically getting across the 30 just about every time. That's unacceptable. I don't think he can kick it to the endzone even on a line drive. And, there is no hang time so our defenders have no chance to get down and cover the returner. There's a huge difference when Boz is in there.
I dunno...looks young to me...but then again, everybody does.
Next door at Xmas I was commenting to ol girls dad that young peeps look at a middle aged man or woman as old.
For middle aged men and women I think you get the opposite effect when looking at a young man or woman. They look like babies.
It just means we are old I am afraid.
Yep. His 46-yarder had at least another 5 yards on it, would have been good from 50. The kickoffs seem to reach the goal line, not deep into the end zone like Boswell. Bos certainly has the better leg, but not a good idea to rely on a guy one swing away from putting you with Josh Berry handling the place-kicking duties.

I’d stick with Wright. Outside of 50 you punt or go for it. Inside of 50 give the kid a shot.

At least he can see over the line. That is a championship long neck right there.
And quite tough to hold for yourself.
+infinity on this. Tomlin lived in his fears

Yinzerlyn has a HUGE CRUSH on the kid!!!
I don't think we need to play Boz this week - let him heal up. Lyn will be happy in the kitchen!!!

I passed middle age a long time ago. My grandchildren are older than that kid. I remember back in the day when I would see an old fart hobbling along, I would tell my wife..." when I get that old , just shoot me". Now I hide my guns from her.
