HOUSE Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Take a look back as Bills' Special Teams Ace Steve Tasker notched four tackles, a forced fumble and a blocked field goal en route to being named MVP of the 1993 Pro Bowl. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/FLASHBACK_Steve_Tasker_1993_Pro_Bowl_MVP/f8a1bc59-b180-47c2-bc8f-9a80fa93d546 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No doubt, a special team player wins the MVP??? The funny thing is this is the ONLY way I remember Tasker all these years later. I mean, it seems to me like he did this much stuff in almost every game! I know that's not true, but he was a freaking one man highlight reel, and OFTEN made multiple enormously important/game-changing plays in a single game. He should go into the HOF not because he was a great caliber player, but the BEST player at his position IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. How do you keep that guy out of the Hall?

Nanker Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I saw that earlier and thought about posting it. He's also the subject of an NFL Films short feature. I saw it once on DVD and kick myself for not buying it. IMHO he does belong in the HOF. Any player that has the rules of the game changed as a result of his play deserves serious consideration, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My God, he belongs in the H.O.F.! I just had a thought: if you could go back in time and grab a handful of the Superbowl Bills for our current team, sure, you'd take Jim Kelly first. But even on a really short list, Tasker's name would have to appear. He was enormously important to the outcome of a lot of football games.

vincec Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My God, he belongs in the H.O.F.! If he had done this in one of the Super Bowls instead of the Pro Bowl, he would probably make it further on the ballots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No doubt, a special team player wins the MVP??? Yeah, because he was the only guy that was trying, everyone else couldn't give a crap. IT's an exhibition game. He is not worthy of the HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My favorite was the run back against the Raiders in the 93 playoffs. Turned the whole game around. Raiders were winning on offense and defense to that point but they could not account for Tasker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 My God, he belongs in the H.O.F.! Tasker belongs in the NFL because he was the first player to make special teams a thing, something that mattered. Before then no one paid attention to special teams. Tasker won games on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I remember that game. This was back when the players actually took the Pro Bowl seriously. Did everyone notice that Nate Odomes had a blue facemask? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrivefourfive Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If he had done this in one of the Super Bowls instead of the Pro Bowl, he would probably make it further on the ballots. Oh but he did. Leon Lett. Only the Bills could have their season highlight center on the circumstances of a Super Bowl blowout hustle play by a special team genius. Fitting actually.
