    I haven’t had time to take a look at the list of ones available but if anybody has a list of names that would be great. The Steelers really need to do this something has got to give with Boswell you can’t trust him anymore.

    Surely they have a list in case of injury. Well, Boz is injured from the neck up. Time to get some guys in for a workout.

    At this point, kicker-by-committee would be a boost.

    I'm sure there's a Grammatica out there somewhere that would be willing to kick for us. LOL

    Jordan Berry hasn't been great either. Tired of that bum giving opponents a short field.

    I believe his injury was career ending.

    Maybe you and Glemm could catch the same Uber, he's sitting by the phone as the 4th string QB you know. Coach T had him on speed dial yesterday when BB went down. One never knows. :rolleyes:

    Was that before or after he called PWP to play CB next game?

    Ill ride with Boz the rest of the year. But there will be so many kickers at latrobe next year they will have to hand out numbers like 1a and 1b

    Can't we just find a loophole in the rulebook that doesn't specifically rule out this guy? Guarantee his head doesn't get messed up when he misses one... if ever.

    I might drive over to Pittsburgh myself and start kicking in the parking lot until they give me a shot. I'm 48 and can kick 60 yards in the air, so field goal wise probably still good in the high 40's (without fear of a defense rushing me). I'll even play for free, just to have the honor of winning a close game.

    How about Caleb sturgis? I think he used to kick with The chargers.
    Haven’t kept up with him lately but man he was good in college at Florida

    Most of the older kickers are probably not good or washed up.

    I think we would need to find a new young kid who has ice in his veins much like Boz a couple of years ago.

    Aidan Schneider, Oregon, He competed in KC's camp but couldn't unseat Butker. Might be worth a try out?

    Kai Forbath is still out there and he is solid but has had issues with missing extra points in the past. And also a guy like Blair Walsh is still out there too but he has had a history of missing big kicks in the playoffs. And as someone said above Sturgis still available as well. All three of these guys have flaws but seriously though how much worse could they really be at this point over Boswell. You gotta bring in one of these guys or someone else to kick for this Patriots game this Sunday.

    Sorry, not in the camp of moving him. Kickers have dead spots. He will bounce back. Maybe not this year but I think you keep him. If his problems continue next year then I will be on board but I would not pull the plug on him. He did make the pro bowl last year so I'd like to let him try and get this out of his system.
