For anyone in attendance at Raymond James for the first preseason game to the 2002 season in Tampa vs the Miami Dolphins, they got a really good show.

No it wasn’t Jon Grudens offense, it was still full of wrinkles. Defense? Nope, that had been around for a while so Bucs fans were used to seeing that.

Jon Gruden’s special teams may have sent an ironic message to everyone that day, “its going to be a good year”! First touch of the ball, Tampa Bay Touchdown on a Kick off Return for a Touchdown by Buc Frank Murphy!

Leave it to the meathead announcers to get the info wrong, when its said “by the way thats the first kick off return for a TD in preseason too. Not even close, there have been several preseason KO returns for TD. Just none in the regular season, that was correct.
