Steelers Are Signing K Chris Boswell

You never know, plant leg has to be strong, and if the ligament isn't fully healed we need a fallback option. Swish isn't a strapping young lad anymore so things could go wrong. If this Boswell dude turns out to be decent then we'll have some cheap insurance.

 

Welcome Boz, get practicing and hope things go well. This isn't Texas, welcome to the 'Burgh

 

I'm just as mad as Scobee as the rest of you, but hope this wasn't an overreaction. One of the kicks was basically 50 yds, so that's no gimmir at Heinz. When you look at the missed kicks yesterday, Colts, SD (39 yds), NO (30yds), Buffalo (35 yds) a lot of easier kicks are being missed.

 

We sign guy who has yet to make a Kick in the NFL.

 

So what, every time a college kicker gets signed, they have to kick in their first NFL game, a kicker has his own style of kicking and if he has sound fundamentals it doesnt matter if he's facing a college special team defense or an NFL one, if he has the confidence and technical aspects of his kicking style down pat he will be successful....

 

you mean
down PAT

 

Really it all just depends on the intent of the one that poured it. LOL.

 

So you have a left ear that looks like someone's been gnawing on it, too?

 

a lot more angle on some of those college kicks.

 

similar to scoobee as a steeler.

 

Who was Jeff Reed before we signed him? He was pretty much a total unkown.

 

Billy Cundiff was out there. Wonder why we didn't get him?

 

Dat boy is Uckin Fugley
Nah he looks better en me, just hope he makes kicks

 

Lets give the kid a chance. Looks like he has a strong leg. Id have him kicking toward the open end of "The Big Ketchup Bottle" from 45 yds and out till the flight leaves for SD.

 

Not the best kicker in the world, low percentage average, besides the bills just signed him this week:

Four games into the new season, the Buffalo Bills are shaking up the depth chart at kicker.

The team announced Wednesday that veteran Billy Cundiff was signed to the team's 53-man roster, putting the heat on embattled veteran Dan Carpenter.

Carpenter whiffed on a 30-yard field goal in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Giants, putting his roster spot in danger. Kickoff specialistJordan Gay was released to make room for Cundiff, who can handle those duties but remains far from reliable as a field-goal machine.

Cundiff, 35, missed a rash of game-crushing kicks for the Brownslast season and remains a cross-your-fingers performer beyond 30 yards. In a season full of gloomy kicker performances, Cundiff only adds to the drama.

OK I miss heard ESPN then. I thought they had just signed cundiff

 

I was high on Myers as well watching him bomb away in the preseason. Guess things are a bit different when a real game is on the line....

Will definitely be crossing my fingers we don't see that first magic kickoff come down at the 5 yard-line, and that our final score is a multiple of 7 (or 8).....

 

A TAR HEEL

 

Rats kic

Rats kicker booted from 50 and 52 yards to tie and then win on the same field. Don't apologize for the abortion of a game by Scobee. And as we know, not the only crappy outing for him since being signed.

 

Was Suisham EVER a strapping young lad.....

 

Going the other way though.
