Classic Enemy Flashback; Seattle Seahawks

Steve Largent.

Usually passed to from Jim Zorn, however maybe some long time Seahawk fan can tell us why this clip is not of the Zman himself.

This video will show one of the longest TD passes for the young Bucs, something very very rare: a TD Pass. And one of over 20 yards!

Then we have the classic matchup of Rick Mirer and Craig Erickson. Ok, Ok, Maybe if we had their Notre Dame vs Miami game it would have been classic!

Last but not least, the first TD pass of Shawn King, local boy gone hero! I remember watching a game with him at Gibbs high vs Tarpon Springs, and they looked like Florida State vs Tarpon the way King ran that shotgun.

Enjoy Bucs and Seahawks fans alike. Remember the OTHER Curt Warner before the QB became famous out west?

That last game with King was Dilfer's very last as a Buc.

Sad thing was Dilfer was having a pretty good year and a great game when he went down.

He was having a ok revival after getting benched,

because he was having a terrible year. It started out in the first game vs NY Giants when the defense gave up only a 100 or so yards but lost because of 17 points he was directly responsible for.
The final straw was the 6-3 over Chicago in Tampa on a nice day, when he overthrew a wide open Dunn, for starters.
Dungy had no choice but to bench him, or risk his defense losing faith in him as a coach.

Eric Zier was named starter and was so so in Detroit, but as usual, the Bucs started yet another season 3-4. Zier was hurt, and the Bucs had no choice but to go back to Dilfer. He responded with his best game of the year, at New Orleans. Within a few games however, he went back to his old ways. The score was 6-3 in the Seattle game when he went out.

My favorite memory of Dilfer was pushing some loudmouth Ram in the NFC Championship game at the end when Steve White started a fight on the sideline.
