I rode the pine as a QB at Stanford a few years after Lynch left. When he would come back to campus, already a big NFL star, he was like the most cool dude. Super humble. Even though he had been gone I think three years before I got there at least, his Legend loomed large in the locker room.
Yeah Lo Neal was probably the best lead blocker in the NFL every year he played He did not have a lot of competition in his era but if you followed the NFL you know the amount of respect that guy got around the league.
It really was! And a couple of those guys are of the Bill Walsh coaching tree - Tony Dungy, Lovie Smith; both going on to coach against one another in Super Bowl XLI. In fact, there are at least 5 coaches that I can think of who got their start under Bill Walsh, and have gone on to win at least one SB as a Head Coach: Tony Dungy, Mike Holmgren, Mike Shanahan, George Seifert, and Andy Reid; combining for 7 SB championships between them. I don't know how anyone could argue against Bill Walsh being the most influential coach of all-time.. Football is what it is today, in large part, because of the contributions of Bill Walsh..
@@mr.brenman2132 wow you are a complete fool. Anyone who doubts Jerome Bettis as a hof back is a stat obsessed casual. The Bus 🚌 took games over just bulldozing guys over. A 3 yard run to win a playoff game with a stacked box cuz nobody trusted Kordell, is different than a 3 yard run on 1st down, week 1, 1st quarter. Stats show it as the same thing but real fans see the difference. Also he made the HOF with asthmatic lungs 🫁 and that body playing RB. Respect the Bus!
I remember when the Bucs came to my high-school to practice. Mike Alstott looked like an absolute FORCE to be reckon with. The man had Flintstone calves 😂! He signed every autograph that was requested. He had to be at least 6'1 250 lbs.
WD40...dats what we called them here in Tampa Bay , been a Bucs fan my whole life...that’s 40 plus years and in my biased opinion, the best backfield duo...Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott...period!
Mike was all lower body power. Mike was a scary power back but what made him great was his underrated agility. If people over-committed to hitting him low, he could juke em. If they didn't get super low, Mike could get his pads about knee level and just smash through you with the lower body power. It was fun to watch him play.
First number i ever wore was #47, i wanted to be John Lynch. One of the biggest football idols in my life. I decided to play football bc of JOHN LYNCH THE HITMAN
Relative of several Purdue grads here. If Alstott had shown up one full class later, Purdue would've had Brees and Alstott in the same backfield, and maybe the National Championship.
I wouldn’t let them pop each other in practice either. Two crazy dudes trying to kill each other with pads, it’s just a matter of time before one of them had a brutal injury. Smart move.
Did yall hear the coaches that was on the staff at Tampa Bay while Herm was the DB coach??? They all might make the coaching Hall of Fame.... That's crazy
My cousins went to high school with Alstott and said he was a monster back then. They also were classmates with Donavan McNabb. One time saw McNabb at a club in Chicago and he said "what's up" to my cousin and chatted with him for a few minutes.
@@DWilliam1 Riggins was a beast!!!!! Oh my God!!! And so fast, too. I didn't include him because I consider him a RB, not a FB. But yeah, he was great.
Shawn Hooks He was absolutely a Fullback. When I played Fullback was a viable running position and we had backs like Czonka. Back then teams played T and I formations. LT killed and changed the fullback position. The Diesel was a Fullback. Best I saw live.
Poor Alstott. He was great at his job, but in ten years I can't imagine how bad he'll be. He never used to talk like that. Painful. I truly hope it was worth it to HIM. That's what 's important I believe. Comments?
sethrotull1 the verdict on cte wasn’t out until after he played. I understand that it even afflicts players who weren’t good enough to play college or pro football. I myself would never have played if I knew what we know now. I highly discourage my nephews from playing in light of this also.
@@Murderbot2000 Sorry to hear that. Are you really being honest though? Did we need a catchy three letter name to know that a big percentage of ex football players act a lot like ex boxers. We called it punch drunk. My uncle was in the CFL for a few years, we called him loud...or boisterous.... or emotional. Maybe if there was a word for it then, his kids wouldn't have taken up the sport.We'll see what a name is worth. Certainly less boxing gyms these days.
Alstott is the baddest FB in the history of the NFL. Moose is a stud hands down, and John Riggins is prolly a more complete RB but as far as the FB spot Mike is a beast. Mike was a guaranteed touch down inside the red zone, teams knew he was getting the ball and going up the gut most likely and they still had no prayer at stopping him. By the look of him he could probably sign with Tampa and still be a 3 yd per carry guy in short yardage situations. I mean imagine him with the pads and helmets they play with today
Kevin Mcleod was a better overall athlete with just as good blocking skills as Neal. Unfortunately because of a health situation his career got screwed.
I hope one guys gets HOF fullbacks due dirty work & don’t get shine but fans appreciate them. Alstott only FB gain 1 ypc because DBs making business decisions lol.
I’d probably shit myself if I was a free safety when the A-Train broke through the line and was steaming towards me. I’d just be roadkill at that point!!! 😰💩💥 ☠️ 🚂
B.S. ut field in hot as hell you hear 47 & 40 trying kill each other across the street during goal line . Training camp back in the day. If you were there ya know. If not ya don't.
Go back and watch those game, the Bucs might have had the best defense ever. Being stuck at home I went back and watched some of their games when they had Brooks, Sapp, Barber and Jones. These guys killed it, I remember when they won the super bowl but not leading up to it. Great Video Thanks!
@@justinalley3399 John Lynch was too slow for yesterday's NFL too, but he didn't need to be that fast. That's because he knew where the ball was going at all times, and was able to get there before all the "fast" players who had to wait and see where the ball was going, then react and get to the ball.
Alstott, get ur ass back out there on the gridiron.. dude is massive still. If just keep say... 3 and a third yards... Mike, we need 3 1/3 yards... EVERYPLAY, ALL GAME. U do that, we win. 4 sumo wrestlers and well.. let's just put J.c. trettor at center. Unstoppable. Trade for McCaffrey just in case. Maybe John brown Jimmy Graham, I'd take him Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez? Where you at. I think I got my offense. LMAO. Quarterback? Def. Uncle Rico. Only 2 times a game he is limited to throw the pigskin a quarter mile. Other than that, hand it off.

Get alstott back out there he looks like he could still punch a couple in
Lorenzo Neal is the greatest Blocking Back of All•Time. More RB’s had their best seasons running behind that monster.
Yeah I don't know what they talking about most powerful fullback of all time" foh! Smack Neal up let's see that shit...
As much as I dislike the Cowboys I would put Daryl Johnston in that conversation.
Well I guess you're all too young to remember Larry Zonka. He was THE original Beast Mode!
Yeah Lo Neal was probably the best lead blocker in the NFL every year he played He did not have a lot of competition in his era but if you followed the NFL you know the amount of respect that guy got around the league.
@Brian Wildasin ..... agreed, though Moose was a one team Back. Lo•Neal blocked
for over 6 different 1000 yard runners
That coaching staff was unbelievable ...

Man, Mike Alstott was the ultimate 3rd-4th and short guy. He made me cheer for the Bucs and I’m a Rams fan
You spelled Jerome Bettis incorrectly. 😂
Bucs fans hated the Rams so fucking much in those days too!
@@HannibalACP82 No he didn't. Jerome Bettis was just a low YPA back. Most overrated running back of all-time. He stunk the second half of his career.

I still remember the Rams bucs Monday night game in 2000. That was one of the most exciting games I’ve seen in my life.
A tackle on Alstott had to be like being in a head on collision car wreck.
I remember when the Bucs came to my high-school to practice. Mike Alstott looked like an absolute FORCE to be reckon with. The man had Flintstone calves 😂!
He signed every autograph that was requested. He had to be at least 6'1 250 lbs.
he was absolutely fearless on the field
@@LIONTAMER3D indeed
Put Mike Alstott in the Hall of Fame. Right now.
Lynch and Alstott were 2 of my favorite players growing up. Probably the 2 toughest guys in the league at the time up there with Favre
Thumbs up if you thinking to find some Mike Alstott Highlights next👍🏼
Didn't even have to go look it's right above me in the recommended list 🤣 Thank you TH-cam algorithms

Thats true! I think thats best duo ever....PERIOD!
Saints fan of 25 years, Dunn and Alstott were the best duo in the day.
Jets fan but Alstott is my second favorite player of all time... as a kid I used to go around pretending to truck people yelling Alstott lol
Warrick dunn was the shit in madden 98 lol
A football guy talking to a couple of football guy’s guys about two football guys being guys.
You are a typical guy, aren't youse.
segment was sexist
Someone put A-Train in the damn HOF!!
💯
As a bucs fan he’s not first ballot but he should be in there
Tom as a non buc fan, bucs are winning it all this year! Lol
Cristian G this is the year lol
@@CG1224_ Yeah just like that Philly super team right? Or when the raiders got all those players and we're favorites? It takes time for a team to gel.
I *still* play Madden '03 on my original, near-20-year-old XBOX. Anytime I start a new franchise, first defensive player I pick up is John Lynch. :)
Former Bucs fan here. Alstott and Lynch were absolute studs.
Former?
Why does my boy A train 40 look like he could still be playing right now?!
because you haven't seen his neck xrays.
Elthenar lmao!
@@Elthenar they dont tackle anymore - A train can still play
@@TheJimmyClip I say again, have you seen his neck x-ray? I have actually spoken to Big Mike, his neck is a mess.
I met Alstott once at an Indycar race. I could not imagine in my worst nightmares having to try and tackle that dude. Not happening.
Can we take a minute to appreciate what John Lynch has done with the 49ers 🔥🔥🔥
Mike is still a big man!!!!
Glad to have seen these two in person, go Bucs!
1:56 Evidently Mike does not ever skip leg day. Just look at the size difference between the both of them sitting camera side of the table.
Mike was all lower body power. Mike was a scary power back but what made him great was his underrated agility. If people over-committed to hitting him low, he could juke em. If they didn't get super low, Mike could get his pads about knee level and just smash through you with the lower body power. It was fun to watch him play.
@@Elthenar He had GREAT FEET !
Both Alstott and Lorenzo Neal were two of the Best Brick Walls to ever play the position.
You're in good hands with Alstott
First number i ever wore was #47, i wanted to be John Lynch. One of the biggest football idols in my life. I decided to play football bc of JOHN LYNCH THE HITMAN
A-train is still a massive being
Dale Carter watched him play a lot in Knoxville Tennessee, was a bad ass player.
Dale Carter , the matchstick. He was a badass.
Just like you!!!
They couldn't pay me to tackle "All State".
Alstott chooses neck roll
I'm pretty sure lynch leveled alstott when he was in denver
John is a damn good man 👍
A-Train looks like he could run through a fucking TANK.
Awesome neal and alstott.
Talk about 2 tough dudes. Grew up a Bucs fan, and these are two of my favorites
Damn he’s huge!
Alstott was big & fast in Madden
Relative of several Purdue grads here. If Alstott had shown up one full class later, Purdue would've had Brees and Alstott in the same backfield, and maybe the National Championship.
A40 look he could still suit up right now. We can use a RB right about now.
My favorite player of all time. A great man as well.
I 💖 A-train and J.Lynch 💯 #Itsabuclife💣💣💣
I watched this whole clip before I realized Herm Edwards wasn't Tony Dungy
Shoutout to Dale Carter
Could cover and wasn't scared to run support.
I hear about him from players a lot as a hit that never got the credit he deserved
@@CS-wn2sz His only flaw, if you want to nit pick...is that he probably cost himself some shine by NOT being loud and flashy like Prime Time.
Mike was truly the last real FB. Watching him growing up and just steamroll over people was awesome.
Dale could go!
But did Herm tell just Lynch to stay away from him? Alstott was acting like he better get his clavicles out of the way.
I wouldn’t let them pop each other in practice either. Two crazy dudes trying to kill each other with pads, it’s just a matter of time before one of them had a brutal injury. Smart move.
Did yall hear the coaches that was on the staff at Tampa Bay while Herm was the DB coach??? They all might make the coaching Hall of Fame.... That's crazy
Alstot was a gaw'damn bowling ball, on a field of pins!
I love John!!! Special safety.
I could not understand how John lynch went ahead of Donnie shell into the HOF ?
Donnie Shell should've been in the HOF decades ago!
My cousins went to high school with Alstott and said he was a monster back then. They also were classmates with Donavan McNabb. One time saw McNabb at a club in Chicago and he said "what's up" to my cousin and chatted with him for a few minutes.
Interesting. Alstott went to Joliet Catholic. McNabb went to Mt. Carmel.
Dale Carter was phenomenal when he was a Chief. But off the field he had no brain.
Nobody pumped up the crowd for a 2 yards and a cloud of dust like Alstott did. Man was a FORCE.
MORE OLD BUCCANEERS!
One of the only FBs to sell jerseys
Tom Rathman, very devastating fullback. And could catch the ball out of the backfield
Loved Rothman and Alstott but neither of them could shine Riggins shoes. The Diesel was the last great fullback.
@@DWilliam1 Riggins was a beast!!!!! Oh my God!!! And so fast, too. I didn't include him because I consider him a RB, not a FB. But yeah, he was great.
