http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/a...er-Notes/f5afc722-d791-437e-b8df-167c0d3087a2 I am happy they have found a way to honor some great Dolphins of the past. I am a huge fan (yes I am fat, he is fat, that is funny for some reason) of Tim Bowens. So glad to see him make it on the walk of famem.
Manny was the Jason Taylor built d lineman of the 70s, had about 50 tackles for loss in Super Bowl VII. Tim Bowens, hell yeah. Miami's only pro bowl player in 1998 when we had the #1 defense and #1 wide receiver in the NFL. Across his 13 year career Nat Moore averaged a touchdown every 7 receptions. Brian Hartline averages a touchdown every 29 receptions.
Manny Fernandez was a strong contender for MVP of Super Bowl VII. Wrote Nick Buoniconti, "It was the game of his life–in fact, it was the most dominant game by a defensive lineman in the history of the game, and he would never be given much credit for it. They should have given out two game balls and made Manny Fernandez the co-MVP with Jake Scott." Larry Csonka also said he thought Fernandez should have been the MVP. The MVP was selected by Dick Schaap, the editor of SPORT magazine. Schaap admitted later that he had been out late the previous night, struggled to watch the defense-dominated game, and was not aware that Fernandez had 17 tackles. Fernandez also recorded a sack against the Washington Redskins' QB Billy Kilmer. Not bad for an undrafted Free Agent who was only signed because they thought his spanish sounding name would attract latin fans.
