Tasker was a reminder of just how vital a spectacular special teams performance can be toward triumph. The best way to consider an outstanding play on a kick is to think of how much it benefited either of the other two phases of the game. How many more plays would the offense have had to run in order to gain the ground that the kick returner obtained when he brought the ball to the 40 instead of settling for the 20? How much easier will the defense's task of victory in the field position battle be when it has extra yardage at its back because a gunner brought down the punt returner momentarily after the latter fielded the ball? The fact that the players participating in this aspect of the game have a single chance at a time to inflict one's will upon the contest makes each play that much more crucial, and Tasker was up to the task every time.
A remarkably likable person who is succeeding in his second football-related career analyzing the game at which he excelled, Tasker is now a beaming citizen of his adopted area, extending his mutually appreciative relationship with Western New Yorkers. Work hard at a largely unglamorous job, and Buffalo will embrace you; stopping returners after knocking aside two or maybe three blockers or, on the other side, stopping punts at their source by blocking kicks was enough to earn Tasker eternal gratitude, not to mention an endless free bar tab, in and around Buffalo.
