http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/aquavision/aquavision.asp?category=1&mediaid=42177 i hope that link works. if not, go to www.miamidolphins.com and click on the aqua vision video about the top 10 dolphins of all time. JT and ZT made the list. JT was 9 and ZT was 8. i was just wondering if everyone agreed with the list, and if they would have made any changes. I think that Richmond Webb should have made the list. I wouldn't mind seeing Pete Stoyonavich on that list as well.
Pete Stoyonavich??????????????? Of all the ALL TIME great Dolphins, you would want Pete Stoyonavich on it??
Warfield only played 5 seasons with the Dolphins? If thats the case you could argue Jason Taylor over him and Zach Thomas...
how about Richmond Webb, Kuechenberg, Bowens, Mark Duper, Mark Clayton....well we'd need a Top 15 dolphins
Some guys deserving of at least Honorable mention IMHO...Jake Scott, Kooch, Dick Anderson, Clayton, Duper, Nat Moore, Garo (as a kicker not a DB), Richmond Webb....and some others.........
HERE IT IS : [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxIAwl7VsDg&feature=related"]YouTube - Chargers beat Dolphins Jan 8, 1995[/ame] After that.... All I'll say is there are just too many dudes that deserve it more.
I pretty much agree with that list although there are plenty to make honorable mention. AJ Duhe, Bill Stanfill, Jake Scott, Dick Anderson, Vern Den Herder, Reggie Robbie, Bob Kutchenberg, Norm Evans, Manny Fernandez, Nat Moore, Bob Baumhower, Doug Betters, Clayton and Duper just to name a few.
This game still invokes a lot of emotion from me. By far the worst thing I've ever been a part of as a Dolphins fan. I was probably around the same age as you, maybe a couple years older and I remember I was skiing that day. I saw the scores being posted in the lift booths as I rode up. Miami was clearly in control. I decided I would watch the 2nd half in the lodge. It was all down hill after that safety. We had Marino and the best pass blocking O-line in the league and we decided to run out of the endzone? When Stoyanovich missed that field goal I didn't know what to do with myself. I recently went skiing on those same slopes and it was like a flashback walking back into that lodge.
IMO that miss was on the long snapper, but the true reason Miami lost that game and blew a 21-6 halftime lead was the defense's inability to stop Natrone Means. Let's just piss all over Stoyo even though he hit a 58 yarder in 90 to help Miami beat KC for a playoff victory.
The most frustrating thing about that game (besides the BS PI call) was our inability to score in the 2nd half. We had a 21-0 lead in that game and failed to put them away. Our lack of a running game really hurt us.
He has no business being mentioned as an old time great on the Fins. I'm not trying to downgrade the guy, but there were many, many other Fins that were better than him. Off the top of my head I can name a ton. But I just post ofensive players for now. Dan Marino Mercury Morris Mark Clayton Paul Warfield Jim Mandich Larry Czonka Richmond Webb Larry Little Bob Kuechenberg Norm Evans Mark Duper Dwight Stephenson Jim Langer Nat Moore and I know I missing some Special teamers? Jim Jensen Reggie Roby Olindo Mare (Yes I take him over Stoyo)
I don't think anyone is pissing on Stoyo, but having him in the Top 10 Miami Dolphins Greats is just laughable. It really is.
forgetting if some are saying Stoyanavich you have to mention keith byars, keith jackson and irving fryer
