WD 40 vs Zach Thomas czcams.com/video/FNl9nXlqbBA/video.html
I miss the big bruising fullback running over defenders. To me, that’s real football. I miss the fullback just being part of the offensive arsenal.
Absolutely, Brother!!! 👊👊✊✊👏👏🙏🙏
Some teams still uses a lot them. Kyle Juszczyk with the 49ers and Pat Ricard with the Ravens.
@@darthrevan6 yeah they dont use em like this tho lol
@@WS-ul5fbguys alstotts size go to other positions. Hardly anyone uses fullbacks anymore and you get paid at other positions.
@@WS-ul5fbBack then teams literally had no choice if you didn't have Peyton Manning or Tom Brady😂
Alstott is one of the most underrated players of all time. This man put on a clinic regularly against arguably one of the best defenses against the run in history
That’s what I’m saying, I can only count a handful of names in the NFL that run or ran over other players like toddlers the way Mike did.
The dumbest thing said ever by Eric Dickinson ( Alstott is a straight ahead runner ) Alstott run over and around people all the time and was very fast for his size. He is one of the best ever big man runners.
Underrated?? He’s in the hall of fame🤦🏾♂️🤣
I don't think he was ever underrated fam... every defense knew his name.
@@elnuggetfnfMike Alstott is not in the hall of fame lol
22 years ago.. damn how time flies!!!
Like seriously
Alsott’s power and brute strength wore and tore down Ray Lewis and great Raven defense.Alstott built like the comic book villain the juggernaut.
That's the best and most accurate description of Mike Alstott , The Juggernaut.
@@Wyndamn same color helmet as well (Dark brown)
@@samsonbabayan6894 same running style too,
@@Wyndamn Peyton Hilis?
@@samsonbabayan6894 OHHHH that's a good one too, he definitely has more speed and explosiveness than Alstott. He'd be more like Colossus from the X-Men.
WD-40 was the best back combo. So thankful I got to see several games in person with these legends.
Not the best but good
There isn't a FB/RB duo that can compete.@@l.r9655

@@Drejac1 Warrick Dunn
Eric Dickerson should never doubt the A train.
Dickerson was eating his words after this one
Alstott had 5.7 yards per carry in this game.. While Dunn had 3.6 .. Dickerson is an idiot.
7:05 One of the most underrated moments in sports commentating history.
I can't believe I've never heard that before. What a gem lol
1:09 This aged like milk.
Warrick Dunn still ran up the middle. He was an all around great
I liked Alstott better, probably because he stayed in tampa. But Loved that thunder and lightning. Dunn was scant and quick, but it wasn't like he was a weak back that couldn't run up the middle or deliver a hit. Alstott may be monstrous and a power back... but dude had some quick too... Although I think my favorite was the Rhino when Lorenzo Neal and Alstott were both in the back field for the 5 minutes Neal was there.
@@TimHaston Brandon Jacobs was a perfect blend of speed, agility, and power. Alstott is one of my all-time favorites. I miss that era of sports in general.
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Brandon Jacons ran a 4.5 at 6-4 267lbs.
@@hitek9too255 agree
@@TimHaston To me they were the perfect combination.
Alstott was a Beast back in the day
Truly!
they don't make any like him anymore
Absolutely
Alstott isn't quick like Dunn but he is quicker than you think. He got some wiggle.
Lewis wanted no part of Tackling Alstott all game
@@josephhale9198 Nobody did when he was healthy. You know he has the power but in the back of your mind, you know he could snap them ankles too.
Alstott was my first jersey. My brother and I would laugh about how he didn't have razzle dazzle... but he could give a pretty quick jab step. Cut to the side laterally just enough... defenders would be wincing and looking away, and that little jab step would make them grab air. For the amount of pop and heat he brought, that was plenty of wiggle!
Ray wanted no part of Alstott because he had no gun to murder him on the field like he’s used to having off the field
Big Ten Football. We always wished we could have gotten NC games up north
7:06 "more importantly, are we allowed to say ass?" 😂😂😂
Erik Dickerson, amazing runningback but he had some pretty bad takes for this game. Alstott was the key to success and those linebackers looked gassed in the 4th quarter.
Truly!
Those quick linebackers, while still specimens, didn't make a living on tacking 250 pound beasts night in and night out. Alstott was different.
Yeah, that was my first thought but to be fair game planning isn't part of Dickerson's wheelhouse.
TB used both backs very well with isolation (Dunn) traps and always a play or two that had some pounding runs to wear on a team.
Clever use of traps and counters also helped with that.
Great switch of pace by bucs and ravens defense on field all game
He had one long run and averaged less than 4 per carry otherwise.. get real
Warrick Dunn is arguably the toughest running back in nfl history. Longevity, durability, strength & power & he would run at yo ass!
Yeah little Dunn never avoided contact he was tough
14 carries for 80yds and a TD. Not bad A Train.
That is 5.7 yards per carry .. in this game.
With some great blocks hell of a jack of all trades player
I was a fullback and a middle linebacker in pee wee football in this time period and Alstott and Lewis were my heros.
That’s exactly what position my son plays man I love it he plays pee wee now
Hell of a defensive matchup. Two of the greatest defenses of all time playing at the same time. Crazy
And the Tampa Bay Defense was/is no fkn joke......they were a nightmare
Facts
Eric Dickerson really stood there on the sideline and said Alstott doesn’t make people miss lol. His cuts are some of his all time best highlights.
Yeah he might as well have said Barry sanders was a true north south runner lol.
Dickerson = idiot. 45 seconds into an Alstott highlight reel will show you that.
Prime example was that game he had against the Saints. He ran over or shook that whole defense. He broke or avoided 15 tackles, which means some guys got it twice.
He has the most tackles behind the line of all time. With a border line HOF Tackle and multiple pro bowlers everywhere else on the line.@@fingolfin9086
Those 1999 to 2003 Tampa teams where just dominate. Especially on defense. Really fun to watch. And the Buccs are my team 😁
Champa Bay ❤
these 2 teams were identical. zero qb. run the ball and savage defense
Absolutely nothing but respect for all the warriors in this game. Some of the best.
Mike Alsott, the last great complete fullback. I met Mike Alsott when I worked at Tampa FHP Troop C. We had a community car wash, car seat charity event, Mike volunteered his time and hands. Dude was very huge and imposing. But he was a friendly down to earth guy. A great Tampa football player that also did a lot for the Tampa community. I was very impressed by how engaging and friendly he was to everyone who drove up for a car wash. He would stop washing the cars and would take photos and autographs with everyone. FHP was a big part of the Bucs security during gameday. I was very lucky on several occasions to be on the sideline and watch Mike Alsott inflict all that pain and misery on his opponents. As a diehard hard NYJets fans, Mike Alsott was my favorite football player. Just a class act.
They hammered the Ravens D that night...POWER FOOTBALL!
They had like 200 yards of offense total lol get real kid
@@KiloMafia9 Bru he’s right. They did hammer them with power house football🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
@@c.manorboy had one long run. Get real
@@KiloMafia9 Bru u talking about a long run.😂😂 u clearly don’t understand “POWER HOUSE FOOTBALL” they ran the ball effectively!!! They ran the ball inside!!!!! They ran, they ran, they ran😂😂😂😂 that’s power house football. U talking about a long run. What about the 3rd 3’s, 3rd & 1’s. When it counted Tampas run offense was more successful than it wasn’t 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@c.manorboy stop typing me paragraphs like you’re my girlfriend or something, you clueless imbecile
I'll admit, I had forgotten how explosive Dunn was. I was always an Alstott fan so I was never as excited when anyone else ran. Now with time and perspective, I can see how nasty Dunn was.
Warrick dunn was in that barry sanders vein. I became a fan because of him playing at fsu and getting drafted to tampe
I watched him play in college.
FSU AND THE U well represented in this game.
@@michaelrollins3765 So did I. I might have been unduly influenced by him coming up a bit short in FSUs first ever ACC loss.
I remember watching this game live as a Tampa fan. When Alstott broke that final run I ran around the house screaming. Fair play to Lewis, he made two massive stops in a row but couldn't make the third!
To run on that legendary ravens defense was something to talk about.
I think TB defense some of those years were also very dominant
Big AL and Dunn was a real top duo
Mike hope to see you in NFL Hall of Fame
He deserves it!!! He has some good stats, but they don't jump off the page (much like Ronde's)... but hopefully he gets his name called because he was epic.
@@TimHaston The standards are different for short careers. For instance, Terrell Davis had a short career, but he was instrumental in two championships, so it made his achievements more visible. Generally it's tough for guys with shorter careers to get in. The man you're referencing may deserve it more....I mean, TD did have an almost perfect offense around him, with the best line in football, and Elway still a potent threat through the air, so nobody could afford to focus exclusively on Davis. Plus, after Davis left, the Denver running game continued to be among the league's best, so that works against him, too. But that hardware speaks very loudly.
Alstott and Dunn was my favorite Thunder and Lightning duo to watch. They where definitely fun to watch every sunday. After watching my Chiefs play I would always channel surf to see if the Bucs where playing.
Alstott is one of the most underrated backs of all time
I miss some alstott he was such a stud
2 of the toughest defenses of all time.
Man I really miss watching Ray Lewis play he was literally always in every play, every snap. One of a kind!
Love love love this style of football. Physical. Gritty.
Props to my boy Warrick Dunn. One of the most underrated RB’s of all time. Along with Thurman Thomas, and Curtis Martin, and Marshall Faulk. All great but get forgotten in many conversations.
Same they make every play count. Even if they only get 1 yard they made the defense work hard for it.
Not by me. Three of my favorite backs. Curtis was great too
7:04
"more importantly, are we allowed to say ass?"
"no"
"okay"
How is no one else talking about this 😂😂😂😂
I remember this game, 2 of the all time great defenses in their prime. It was hype af
A lot of fsu and Miami on the field that night 🏈🏈
Are we allowed to say Ass no 🤣🔥
just heard about Ray's Son. RIP and I pray for his family
Mike Alstott is still my favorite player of all time, maybe second only to Walter Peyton. That's the truth Ruth ❤️
Peyton hilis
Alstott grew up idolizing Walter Payton! I am sure he would be happy to be second only to his personal all-time favorite player...
Barry Sanders should be on everyone's list
Bo jackson, Mike alstott, Derrick Henry, herchel walker
He wanted it, they brought it. You can see through the progression of the game, the attrition really set in for the ravens front.
Absolutely!
Alstott finished with 80 yards rushing (below his average at the time) and Dunn finished with 47. They brought it and were smacked in the mouth - as usual when facing a ravens defense at the time. Alstott was a beast but he met his match with Ray Lewis the same as Eddie George and Jerome Bettis did. Tb won the game due to lackluster offense from the ravens - which was also not unusual for the ravens at the time.
attack the right side, then the left side. They started running left and the whole side was opened up
@Dustin the Ravens offense was lack luster because the Bics D was no joke in that time period.
@Great Bingus the ravens qb was elvis grbac I'm willing to bet you have no idea who he is not to mention Jamal Lewis was out, what was Mike's yards before that long run just before the pick elvis threw? 48 seems pretty lackluster to me considering a rushing duo of him and dun together didn't even Crack 80 yards total before that run
Ppl forget how good Warrick Dunn was
I got two words for Ray Lewis++;;;Mike : Friggin Alstott!!
If anybody Sleeps on Tony's Coaching them Bucs . Show them this game. This was brilliant to use a solid offensive scheme for that Mighty 2001 BAL Ravens Defense. That's a 26yo Ray Lewis and Rod Woodson, J. Sharper , Peter B. They ain't NO SLOUCHES! Not easy to do.
That's Jamie sharper not sizzle
I forgot. Jamie Sharper was a animal too
Mike AlSTOTT was the REAL JUGGERNAUT!
These games brings back so many memories 😢
Love the delay handoff to Mike Alstott
@5:12....I'm not a fan of saying "pause" after suspect statements, but that was a "pause" moment if I've ever heard one 😂.
I watched this game. I loved Mike alstott, and Dunn. True warriors, that never be seen, loved yall. Thanks
Mike allstott was such a load. Miss him so much. Go BUCS!!!!
Dunn was good
he eclipsed 10,000 yds &4300+ receiving yds He was great and he was 5'9 180
@@rockfresh5359 Yeah, saw him near me visiting a track meet at Tampa Prep around 2002--baggy Tshirt and all, he seemed so small! Great runner for sure
Alstott was a Juggernaut.
Has to be the leader , if states were kept on it , for contributing to the most ice baths after the game for the defensive players.
I was at this game. Sat on the mezz right above the bucs entrance. Alstott ran right at us. Was amazing.
7:05 LOL LOL LOL
Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that man said “more importantly”
The way he said NO
Ray and and A train were gladiators. This was Old school smash mouth football. Back when the refs let the men actually play.
My Fav FB of all-time❗️Mike was like a mini fire hydrant on the field 🏈 RIP Goose 🦢
Jim Brown was better.
@@hitek9too255 Jim also played Running back. Notice I said Fullback. RIP to the legend though
@@user-bh2hx5ew1z Jim Brown was a fullback. Also, Jim Taylor, John Riggins, Larry Czonka, Franco Harris..
Alstott and Dunn: The original Thunder and Lightning duo
They completely took Ray out of the game. He got beat at the line and couldn't shed blocks fast enough to make meaningful tackles. This was a masterful game by the Bucs.
The Bucs only had one long run and Lewis still had a good game and made 14 tackles and almost had an INT. You bumped your head
@@KiloMafia9 You're under the impression that "long runs" = success when the real measure of success is the ability to move the chains. Alstot broke at least 3 yards every time he touched the ball, sir. The Bucs O-line manhandled the Ravens all game, pushing them into Boulware and Lewis. A lot of times, Ray couldn't break away from the blocks until was too late.
Lewis had "good" games most of the time. However, the interception came by way of a bad pass, thrown almost directly to him...and he dropped it. That's not something to celebrate. Also, most of his 14 tackles came well after the RBs passed the line of scrimmage and he didn't have to work for it. The Bucs mostly ran up the gut.
There's a reason why the Bucs kept the ball on the ground...they could. As I stand, they took Lewis out of the game.
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview yeah 14 tackles and nearly an INT is taking him “out of the game” lol lost your mind. How is it “well after they passed the LOS” when they had one long run? Get real
@@KiloMafia9 I see that your reasoning skills is severely limited. Literally, I explained that all of his tackles came after the RBs crossed the line. Also, the RBs averaged more than 3 yards a carry. Lastly, there were many tume when Ray could not shake blockers. Making 14 tackles in a game is worthless if you're giving up 4+ yards a carry. Also, that interceptions went directly to him, meaning that he didn't work for it
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview you’re too stupid to understand what I’m saying. Outside of one long run when the game was already over they averaged well less than 4 per carry. Again, you’re clueless
Great prediction Dickerson. Don't run Alstott lol.
Alstott averaged 5.7 yds/carry in this game ... Dohhh ! Dickerson !! Idiot !!!
Alstott is soo big and tough. I saw take on 3 injectables at one time
Alstott was an absolute beast!! I miss good football. It’s gone.
What a battle of two great teams.
Best Duo to go against the Ravens hands down …Ray is a beast but Alstott was a beast x 2 💯
This was awesome thanks!
Still my favorite fullback of all time
"Ray Lewis, double-murderer, University of Miami."
Mike Alstott like a rhino just trucking people, one of my favorite players ever
Lewis was one of the very best imo and a beast. Alsott was a warrior on the field and dunn was great too
As a Tampa fan this makes me very proud. 👌🏾
I attended every home game that year. Great times.
Was a great time , great backs.
Darn that was violent 😂 40 gave it to em 😮
Dickerson said they should feature Dunn not Alsott. Alstott avg 5.7 yds per carry with a td , Dunn 3.6.
Dickerson🤪
" more importantly are we allowed to say ass? " lmao!! 😅 that was worth the whole video!! 6:13 and 7:04
You had to be a beast to be a fullback.....the game has too many rules now days.....i remember when a fullback use lay the nickel back out
The good Lord used the Juggernaut to humble ravens great defense
I love the way Baltimore and Tampa Bay played defense in the early 2000s. They understood down-and-distance, they played assignment football, and they always rallied to the football. Like lions, they hunt as a pack.
Mike Alstott & Warrick Dunn. My two favorite Buccaneers.
You're in good hands with Alstott.
A-Train was a beast!!!!
As a Bucs fan who probably watched everyone of all Allstot’s games. He was truly the master in the fourth quarter of taking over the game and running the clock out. He were the other team out all game long and put them away at the end. So fun to watch.
Dungy Ball! 👍 When they fired Tony Dungy, I went to the Colts too. Tampa had a Crazy Defense too! Colt fan till this day.🐎
And the Bucs still weren’t an offensive juggernaut when they fired Dungy. Gruden, like, Billick are some of the most overrated offensive minds in football history.
RIP Goose
I miss the days of run first. Dunn vs. Lewis, who I believed played against each other in college (Lewis-Miami/Dunn-Florida St.) is particularly fun to watch. Though Alstott played the better game. Also, holy crap… look at young Eric Dickerson.
7:04 “Are we allowed to say ass?” Lol wth
I watched this on tv. Great game!
Brad Johnson was a quarterback in the history of the NFL.
Ray Lewis played like an "accessory to murder" !!!
Ray Lewis might be one of the greatest LBs ever but he got his ass ran over this night. Alstott wore him down.
Damn sure did
The greatest ever
Yeah, but in all fairness, Lewis wasn't allowed to stab anyone.
Lmao ok keep thinking that fanboys
So many legends on that field
And condolences Ray Lewis 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ray Lewis was all over the field certified legend
When football was football 💪💪💪
Great matchup. The Ravens had the best defense ever that year. The Bucs were consistently best defense for close to ten years.
Man I miss these days 🎯
If a team now had a big fullback like allstat or the bus, they would be unstoppable with how small defenders are now
Agreed! We have Henry today but he doesn't run with nearly the tenacity and low pad level of Alstott here. For his size, Henry is a surprisingly poor runner between the tackles.
This is how you close out a game just complete guys and WANT TO! Go Bucs!
Adelius Thomas96 was underrated being a big LB able to jump to DE when ravens D would line up in 3-4
Wow what a game. Lewis was in on every tackle.
This was the "AFC just got exposed" game of the early 2000s. Giants vs. Pats was the late 2000s. Bucs vs Chiefs and Eagles over Pats the 2010s exposition
Mike Alstott is beast never forget early 2000s bucks
