CorkScrewHill Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) He gets choked up a bit at the end .. he was a dynamo on special teams .. but man he was small. The story of when he first joined the team was cool. Edited January 22, 2021 by CorkScrewHill 6 8 5
Dukestreetking Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Agree, very good. Worth watching just for emotion he shows at the end. 1
Charles Romes Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I have a hard time separating my feelings about Steve as a player and Steve as a broadcaster. You had to live through it to understand how good he was on coverage special teams. It was ridiculous. 3 1

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 keep those damn onions in the kitchen that was good. he was a baller! 2
CorkScrewHill Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 I liked the story of Marv getting up and saying they have a new social teams guy and diminutive Steve gets up and the disappointment in the room was palpable.. cracked me up 2
biggerdaddynj Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Speaking of reminiscing, NFLN is playing the ‘93 AFC championship game against the Chiefs. Thurman had a game for the ages and watching that team, so many things came back to me, the sweetest being what it was like to watch them play and how great it made me feel. It was really something special. As, Steve Tasker said in that segment, I wouldn’t trade it in for one win. 2
Real McClappy Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I hope Tasker gets into the HOF someday. 2 1 1

jwhit34 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 We have a friend that played rugby at Northwestern when Tasker was there. He said the first time Tasker showed up for rugby they found out in about 10 seconds that he was such a superior athlete compared to the rest of them, like he was playing a totally different game than they were. Very cool watching those highlights, I remember most of those plays, especially the hit on the punt of the Rams guy, I remember being at that game in particular. 2
Let's Go Buffalo Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 One of my favorite players of all time! Steve came a long way from starting out playing at Dodge City Community College to where he ended up. A great story for sure! 1
Wags67 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Loved him thoroughly...as I do #11 now. Will never forget ST getting tossed out of his final game! Edited January 23, 2021 by Wags67 1

You had to live through it to understand how good he was on coverage special teams. It was ridiculous. I loved Tasker as a player and I really don't mind him so much in his media role with the Bills now. Like a number of the great players from the last great Buffalo Bills era, he loves this town and he loves this team. Something cool about. By the way Charlie Romes, I'm still upset with you for dropping that Dan Fouts pass that would have ended the game and kept our Bills alive for another week in the playoffs during the 1980-1981 season... 1

Wacka Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Tasker was interning on Monday mornings on AM Buffalo to get experience for his post-playing career. It was the day after he blocked the AZ Cardinals punt shown in the clip. They were talking to him about the punt he blocked and he says " Want to see it?" He pulls up his shirt and suit sleeves and the laces were still imprinted plain as day on his forearm. Edited January 23, 2021 by Wacka 2
JTown Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Tasker was a very special player on our team. How Marv knew that Tasker would be as successful as he was is mind boggling. Everyone's eyes were on him each and every time he was on the field. What's crazy is that he made big plays over and over despite teams game planning to neutralize him. One could argue that no other player has made such a profound impact on special teams since Tasker hung up his cleats. I hate reading all the negative comments about his commentary, but I guess everyone is entitled their opinion. He is Bill's legend. I certainly hope that he is inducted into the HOF.
Amaru523 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Every time my younger co-workers ask me about the Super Bowl years I always tell them how awesome we were when we had Kelly, Thurman, Reed, Bruce, Biscuit, and Steve Tasker. 7x 1st team all-pro. If any special teamer gets in, it should be him. Edited January 23, 2021 by Amaru523
