One of the most powerful backs I ever saw play, dude was a run away freight train every time he touched the ball. Greatest FB I ever saw and will ever see
um52 Admittedly, I don't watch much NFL (stick to college ball), but when Alstott was still playing I watched when I could. The guy was a landslide going downfield; he brought everybody else with him. I don't recall who said it, but I heard an interview with a defensive back one time and they said "we hate seeing Mike get the handoff, we know it's going to hurt trying to stop him."
My favorite Buc in the offensive. Derrick Brookes, Rhonda Barber and John Lynch are my favorite Defensive players. At meet the Buc's luncheon I was at the table with John Lynch. I also have a signed Mike Allstot Super Bowl helmet and a signed Derrick Brookes football that my wife got from Mr. Brookes at a school board business meeting in Lakeland, Florida. These guys were super friendly and down to earth, really nices guys.
Super nice job of highlighting his combination of power, speed, and agility! The game was so much more fun and exciting when he was working! Such a rare combination of all the skills needed to do just what Mike did best! Thanks for the beautiful vid.
Can you see yourself being a D Back trying to tackle this guy, holding on, screaming HELP. Only solo tackle I saw was the D Back coming up from behind, sliding down his back, able to tie up his ankles ...
Number 3 favorite running back of all time....and best full back in history. Hands, great feet, barely fumbled, never stiff armed, and one of the most powerful backs in history. 1) Payton 2) Barry 3) Alstott
Alstott is a HOF player. Yes he fumbled but so did franco Harris. Look at these runs and tell me straight in the face that alstott isn't one of the greatest to lace them up. Plus, a 6 time pro bowler with a super bowl ring. The 2001-2002 buccaneers were a force and alstott was part of that transformarion. Sapp said it best "Mike was ALWAYS one of us". Alstott played offense, but he had legit respect from Brooks, Barber, Lynch, Rice, and most definitely Sapp. When you make some of the greatest defensive players of all time stand up and watch you and how you run the football; that's tells you all you really need to know
how he was not made a featured back during his entire career is beyond me...everytime he was on the backfield would open up the passing game...because the opposing defensive team would load the box to try to stop him.Endless possibilities for play-action...
Well said. He could do it all too. He could catch like TE, pass block, and he could definitely run the ball as well all know. He's so well-known for his power, but his elusiveness, as displayed throughout this video, was very underrated.
Alstott was a beast!! Loved watching him play. But now that I'm watching this video, I notice how much holding is going on lol like half the plays have obvious holding instances by lineman hahaha
The perspective does not matter in the slightest, this is the the Rhino vs a football team, zoomed in or zoomed out it’s unreasonably incredible. Your complaint has been discarded and deemed an irrational statement.
If you watch really carefully you can see the defense players slowing down when running towards them and even in the opposite direction they don't want to get hit by him 🤣😂🤣

Gotta love him!

Dude is so underrated.
Ive been watching a lot of Alstott lately...and Rocky Marciano vids....
Lord have mercy!
I loved watching him play. The A-Train could not be stopped!
Awesome. Should've been played more.

They never show it in the high light reels but he was a great receiver as well.

1 of my fav players of all time straight savage
Alstott stats would have been prolific but Warrick Dunn was rather magnificent and shared touches.
I would definitely be considered "Beast Mode" # 2 in my opinion , a tremendous athlete .
Original beast mode
Number 3 favorite running back of all time....and best full back in history. Hands, great feet, barely fumbled, never stiff armed, and one of the most powerful backs in history.
1) Payton
2) Barry
3) Alstott
He made a career out of running in the A gap. The most blitzed gap in all of football. Its a testament to his raw power and determination.
Best fullback of the last 30 years
*1000 years
A-Train was very agile for his size and power.
His ability to keep his feet under him. To twist at the waist and to redirect
@0:45 maybe the greatest 15-yard run you will ever see
Broke 7 tackles
@@bryantbailey2943 A 245 lb full back busting out a spin move
Has to be one of the funnest players to watch. Right there with Sanders, Smith, Sayers, Payton, and many others.
Alstott is the nicest person you will meet OFF the field. Visit his restaurant on island estates.he is there most of the time.
I mean this as a compliment, for some reason the music in this video reminds me a little of the music from Scarface.
Got to love to downfield blocking, as the team knew he was never going down easy.
I remember watching him ever football Sunday he just ran over everyone pure beast mode
Nobody worked harder for a Championship Ring than Mike.
beast
Wow!
Just a tank!
Straight up stole some ankles at 3:44
I rewound it 6 times. Lost his soul on that juke lmao.
I idolized this guy growing up. And I was his exact height and weight, didn't have his feet tho. Lmao.
For some reason i did not remember the Saints run. Amazing
Music was good to me as Awesome
Only one word. A freight train.
God was bored and he put mixed barry sanders and Larry csonka.

Imagine what a coach like Bill Belichick could have done with a player like Mike Alstott
Not a damn thing. Brady drove that team just like he drove TB to the NFC championship game.
No, beast was blue colored.The Juggernaut! Peyton HILLIS was the colossus
Why did you change the music
So it could be monetized
Brett Kurowski change it back
A-train vs R. Lewis = A-train
HOF
You gotta change the music back, or at least release a version with the original music
NOBODY ENJOYS ZOOMED IN/SUPER TIGHT REPLAYS! they give no perspective!! 😡

Steroids are a hell of a drug.
If you watch really carefully you can see the defense players slowing down when running towards them and even in the opposite direction they don't want to get hit by him 🤣😂🤣
