Finally! Jeez, it's about damn time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought some preemptive professional help to a placekicking situation that is only stable in it's mental and physical instability! Patrick Murray's admission that he already felt it necessary to seek a shrink before even being placed in the spotlight and being asked to boot one meaningful ball isn't the greatest omen considering the volatility of (and the contentiousness towards) the role that he's yet to begin filling, but it's not like clear headed kickers grow on trees. In a perfect world the Buccaneers would bring in a confident guy who is of sound mind to quell the kicking woes that solely cost them a win against the World Champs, but let's look on the bright side here. At least this roster re-tread will have a trusted confidant (either literally or figuratively) in his ear when the rest of his team abandons him at the end of the bench after he inevitably hooks one left. If I learned anything from the recent ostracization of Nick Folk and the curious (basket) case of Robert Aguayo it's that loneliness leads to losing trust in your leg. Tampa Bay shouldn't take complete solace in the fact that each and everyone of their games could potentially rest on the foot of an over-thinker, but at least this particular over-thinker attempted to have his consciousness washed of self consciousness! That's should have their spirits feeling upright. Until, of course, they are looking like this after he fails to kick the ball through them...
