    Your confidence level on Chris Boswell right now

    Boswell was one of the best kickers in the NFL from 2015 to 2017, he was amazing in the clutch (15-15 in the playoffs in his career and 4 game winning field goal in the last 8 games in 2017) but last year he was so bad that his job was on the hot seat.But in preseason, even if Boswell had no many opportunity, especially in the last 2 games, his FG(or XP) was in the middle almost every time, which is a great sign.

    So imagine a scenario that in week 1 in New England, the Steelers trail by one point with 3 seconds left in the game and Boswell need to make a 45 yards FG to win the game

    On 0 at 10 (0 is the lowest, 10 is the highest) what would be your level of confidence to see Boswell make this FG?

    Re: Your confidence level on Chris Boswell right now

    I think his injury or injuries last year affected him in a very negative way. A kicker's motion in some ways is like a golf swing. When you are hurt, it really has an impact on your swing and timing, and your game suffers. I believe he is healthier, and he will kick better. I'm not betting my retirement on that, but I have a feeling he'll be fine this year.

    I'm going to say I have a confidence rating of about 8.

    We'll find out very soon.

    That and I think he had lost confidence after his missed clutch FG in Cleveland in overtime in week 1

    I'm still more confident about him this year than if the Steelers would have the same kicker that the Bears right now! ... Their kicking situation in Chicago is a laughing stock right now!

    Great thread!

    I'd say I have a confidence rating of about a 5. Give me a couple good weeks and that'll rise dramatically!!

    Man, "confidence" is the wrong word to use there. I have a 100% certainty that he can make that kick, but no idea if he would or not. I'd be covering my eyes and crossing my fingers.

    Not very good outside of 43 yards. Boswell will need several weeks of converting ALL extra points and everything inside of 40 yards before I feel good about him being our kicker again.

    This. I think Boswell got his confidence back. He was drilling everything right down the middle in preseason that I saw.

    I think Boswell will return to his great form from two years ago and, be real good this year.

    About a 4. Boswell is saying and doing all the right things now, but I'm just waiting for the yips to start and the wheels to come off the next time Harbaugh freezes him in Baltimore.

    Sounds like you are hoping for this.

    No - I just envision it happening. Boswell was absolute money for 3 years. Every time he lined up from within 45 yards, he'd bisect the uprights. Then ... the wheels fell off. You could see after missing one left, he'd over-compensate and miss the next one right. He started questioning his mechanics and not trusting them.

    If he can truly bounce back from that and be the ice-cold killer he was from 2015-17, then he's a much tougher S.O.B. than I. But once that doubt creeps in your mind once, it's awfully damn hard to keep it fully boxed out afterwards. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid I won't be.
