EDIT: This video is really worth a watch. Aside from Dillon's record, you get to see:
- Boomer and the dynamic between he and Blake (Blake took the benching with class)
- Von OelHoffen and Dan Wilkinson starting on the d-line (we were running 3-4 with LeBeau back then)
- Coslet spitting on the sideline as usual
- Young Jeff Fisher and Steve McNair (rip)
- Braham and Willie on the o-line
- Pickens and Scott still in their primes
- Solid secondary with Ambrose and the underrated Sam Shade
Yeah, a great game:
The right side of Brilz-Blackman/Goff-Willie was a truly underrated right side: Brilz NEVER got any kudos, despite being a very good C and Blackman was a nasty G.
Interesting seeing Braham at LG, while the mediocre Kevin Sargent is at LT; Rich did alright this game.
You can just see Boomer, commanding the offense: he was a born leader and a half and he still had a cannon in '97.
Brian Milne was out there for almost every play lol. Too bad we don't use FBs like that anymore.
