Reflections and Thoughts on the Silver Season

Question: if you had to pick one play to encapsulate the rivalries with the Colts, Texans, tacks, and Steelers, what play would you choose?
Colts? Fred Taylor trucking Doss. Texans? The hail mary from Garrard to Mike Thomas. Tacks...sadly Henry's 99 yard TD run . It illustrates the frustration and sense of futility I feel waytoo often against that team. Why include the Steelers? Because they were our first rivals, and if I am perfectly honest, it's hard for me to get as fired up against our current divisional rivals as it was the Steelers. Anyway, the blocked FG to end the first Monday Night game. If I had to choose a second, it would be Garrard's scramble in the 4th quarter to complete the first Pittsburgh sweep. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
Fred setting 3 rivers rushing record. Most yards steelers had given up ever.

Freddy and finesse being in the same sentence sounds funny. He could definitely shake a few defenders. But he also had a mean.... and I do mean "MEAN" stiff arm. I remember watching him destroy Jamie Sharper during his prime with the Ravens with a stiff arm. And of course the classic "GTFO of my way" shoulder of boom to Mike Doss on the way to the house with a look back. Freddy was awesome. As good and as exciting as MJD was to watch. Freddy's accomplishments in spite of missing probably 3 - 4 years worth of football is nothing short of amazing. I know a lot of folks clamor for Boselli and Smith to be in the HoF. I think Freddy deserves to be numero uno on that list IMHO. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.

Fred was one of my favorites but I think MJD gets lost in the limelight. MJD had finesse, vision, and could punish. I went back to watch some of his runs and man how quickly we forget just what a special player he was.

Apples to oranges IMO. FT also had a run against Pittsburgh at the end of the 1998 season where he trucked a S (Bo Orlando) at the goal line. I still smile at that memory. As for "little man," he had a lethal stiff arm against Chicago in the opening week of that same season. I always thought James Stewart was not only under appreciated but unfairly maligned here in Jacksonville, largely because of where he went to college. Was he a great RB? No, but he was a quality player and citizen for us. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

I agree, Freddy was a beast but the way he was able to cut routes and such made me think "finesse" to MJD's "pinball". MJD just seemed to bounce off folks and FT seemed to be able to just cut through them. (03-06-2019, 10:45 PM)Bullseye Wrote:Little Man still is a Jax resident.

One of mine was the night game ( can’t remember if it was a Monday Night game ) against the Steelers which we won 9-0. The stadium handed out those white styrofoam wands to counter the gold towels being waved by the Steeler fans. Near the end of the game, when a shutout became evident, fans formed these wands into the shape of a “ zero “ to taunt the Steeler players and fans. The image of thousands of these zeroes around the stadium still amuses my memory. (12-23-2018, 04:57 PM)jvillejagsn1 Wrote: And... colts just beat giants
I think that was the game Big Ben came back after having an appendectomy the following week. He got sacked like 3 times and knocked down 5 or six more. Everytime they showed him getting up, he was holding his side and wincing. I think the crowd fed off of it. Man, what a game.

Nice Bullseye!!

I still remember that feeling of being awarded the Jags. I remember thinking there was NO way we would get the team.

Colts - Since Manning went 14-5 vs the Jags, it's really hard for me to select a Jag play. He picked us apart time and time again passing to Harrison and Wayne so it has to be a simple timing route to either of those (not really a single play) Titans -- Since the Texans own the Jags, I'd have to say it's a McNair run during the 1999 playoffs -- I see that in my sleep. The only person from Jacksonville that was able to stop McNair was some chick that used to work for Dave and Busters and turned out to be his last fling Texans - Texans are 21-13 vs the Jags so again, I see JJ Watt making Gabbert curl into his little cocoon Steelers - I'm still seeing Rashean Mathis picking off passes, returning one for a TD in overtime and Steelers fans throwing trash on Maddox's property prior to his arrival home that night. |
