Legarrette Blount's Rumble Named Play of the Year by Fox Sports

by Sander on Jan 22, 2012 8:03 PM EST in News

2011 was an abysmal season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but at least there were some great highlights - and none were better than Legarrette Blount's 54-yard touchdown run against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11. Apparently, even the viewing public thought so, as the fans voted Legarrette Blount's run the best play of the entire 2011 season - for any team. I'm amazed that a Buccaneer won an award, and it wasn't a negative one.

That run was truly special. Legarrette Blount broke tackle after tackle with some help of his teammates, including a crushing downfield block by Davin Joseph. He bulled, stiff-armed, and bashed his way to the end zone to give the Bucs their first points of the game. It looked so bad, that I almost thought Tanard Jackson had cloned himself 11 times and had those clones where Packers uniforms - that's how powerful that run was.

Was you wearing a Brooks throw back jersey?

I think there was like 5 Buc fans I counted there. For sure was the best they played in that 10 game strech. I too will remember that run for a long time, and Talib had the game of his career

lol

i live in the u.p of michigan, 3 hours away. Everyone up here is a packers fan. Its terrible. They all asked me who the bucs were playin this week, my response is “same as the pack, NOBODY” lol 15-1 dont mean crap if you dont win the bowl. It was a fun game to watch, at least the bucs put up a fight and were not blown out like everyone said would happen.

GO GATORS!!!

That Run was a testament

To Blount’s effort IMO, didn’t see the rock much and he made it count the most on that run.

That's the one play that still gives me hope.

With a good offensive coordinator who understands what talent he has, a true full off season, and a little competition. Blount will be a stellar Running back again in 2012.

Hell i think the entire team will be much better next year. Just because of how embarrassed they were this year. A very dooming final half of the season will weigh heavy on the minds of ALL these players. I doubt they will want to go through that again.

Here’s to hoping for a much improved 2012 season. Go Bucs.
