Yes, you’re reading this correctly. One of my most important guys for the Steelers’ 2016 season is a kicker.
Don’t think a kicker is important? Ask Patriots’ fans how they feel after Stephen Gostkowski missed a PAT in the AFC Title Game… Fact is, Boswell’s importance now grow seen larger after the Steelers released former kicker Shaun Suisham on Friday. That decision effectively puts an end to the kicking competition many of us expected to see during training camp.
If Mike Tomlin is smart and has learned from his mistakes then he will have somebody in camp that resembles a kicker to avoid the catastrophe from last year.
