TAMPA — This isn't really Nick Folk's fault. The blame doesn't belong to Roberto Aguayo, who suddenly couldn't kick straight. The responsibility should not stop at the doorstep of general manager Jason Licht. It pre-dates him by about five years.
It's not about Connor Barth's torn Achilles, Lawrence Tynes' MRSA or the trade for Kyle Brindza.
In Tampa Bay, they've been kicking like the Army marches —- left, right, left —for quite some time.
