TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Roberto Aguayo fixed his eyes on uprights measuring 8 1/2 feet wide. It was at the end of a team period, and coach Dirk Koetter wanted to see both kickers, Aguayo and Nick Folk, attempt field goals on the "skinny posts."
That's when Aguayo, the beleaguered kicker who went just 4-of-11 on kicks from 40-plus yards last season, drilled one from 53 yards. In fact, Aguayo didn't miss a kick -- regulation or skinny posts -- all day.
"He was lights out," Koetter said.
