Is it too early to say we've found our answer at kicker? I understand it's only four kicks, but those were kicks from 47, 47, 49, and 51 yards (if memory serves correct). Sucks we didn't have this guy two weeks ago against the rats.

Don't want to jinx him, but if he continues the rest of the season like this, he'll beat out Suisam for a roster spot... Salary cap. He'll be cheaper.6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell named player of the week
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 21, 2015, 10:08 AM EDT
After a season of brutal kicking woes, the Steelers may finally have their guy.
Pittsburgh kicker Chris Boswell has been named the AFC special teams player of the week after turning in a very strong performance in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. Boswell went 4-for-4 on field goals against the Cardinals, including a long kick of 51 yards. He’s now 5-for-5 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points in two games for the Steelers.
Boswell has been a huge improvement over the kicker he replaced, Josh Scobee. After the Steelers traded a sixth-round pick to acquire Scobee and his $2.5 million salary, Scobee had a miserable start to the season, missing four field goals and an extra point. He was cut after four games.
The Steelers lost two kickers, Shaun Suisham and Garrett Hartley, to season-ending injuries in the preseason before trading for Scobee. Boswell is showing that the fourth time’s the charm.

Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
