Akeem Dent on ST

Congrats to the three for producing. Overall, I am very happy with the '11 draft class' improvement through the season.

Congrats to all and well deserved. How many of us wouldve guessed Boscher around week 4?

Not I. I am very happy he adjusted to the pro game.

He was dreadful early on. It seemed like Smitty started saying he had confidence in Boscher publicly, and that in turn facilitated the steady improvement we saw over the course of the season. Maybe I am just imagining things though and the "arrow is pointing up" comments to the media had nothing to do with Boscher's development.

I was definitely worried about our ST while Boscher was still green. What was even more unnerving was how good Koenen was for us, for so long, and watching our ST go from great to bottom of the barrel. I still think Boscher has room to improve. Based on how much he has improved over the season, I am pretty sure he will continue to get better as time goes on.

Over the last 10 weeks, he was arguably one of the top punters in the NFL with a 43,1 NET average.
