No Hate for Boswell?

Why the trickery on the onside kick? Never gave the Steelers a chance on a purely sloppy play.

I think people are making too big a deal of this. Onside kicks these days seem to have an ever lower probability than I remember (20%). If he hits that kick, I kinda like our chances of recovering the ball.

Blame Smith, it was a ridiculous thing to try.Id love to see him get canned and wake this team the f up.

On that note, I hope Shamarko gets fired. He is/has been in over his head since he came into this league.

I have seen video of him doing that kick in college with success. So this was not his first attempt at it. Actually I was kind of hoping to see it at some point, just did not want that outcome.

boswell is way down on my hate list for this game

[steelz09]

It was completely embarrassing but I'll give him a pass on this o e because it's not a trend hopefully. The Steelers incompetent coaching is a trend.

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Why hate Boswell? The ST coach told him to do it. It was a hard physical task, and he muffed. Could happen to anyone.

I just YouTube'd it... that one was perfect.

Even the ref was laughing

problem is when it doesn't work you look like a clown.

Well, next time Boswell attempts that kind of kick, he will have the element of surprise with him, because I don't think anyone will expect him to ever try it again.

That was a sick kick.

i knew i'd seen that kick before... it may well have been him.

and interestingly enough, after the timeout, i was actually thinking, "wouldn't it be cool if they could do that one kick i saw one time and catch them off-guard..."

for those complaining (not you, raycafan), you don't do that kick unless you've practiced it before. i have ZERO problem with the call - i knew he'd obviously pulled it off before... he just missed. again, it's an onside kick which has a very low success rate.
