Per week in the past this night, I posted the response put up for the Miami Dolphins’ all-time Offense. This week, we check out the protection. I initially posted the next train on this put up:
Please give us your finest 11-man all-time beginning offensive roster and your high three all-time particular teamers at kicker, punter, and lengthy snapper. Should you want a participant that, for some motive (like outdated age the place you possibly can’t keep in mind such as you as soon as did) didn’t make the record above, actually use that participant and inform us why you imagine he belongs.
Beneath are a few of your all-time defensive rosters and thoughts-
mikestarace has a number of the traditional suspects.
Jason Taylor; Bob Baumhower; Cameron Wake; Tim Bowens; Zach Thomas; Nick Buoniconti; A.J. Duhe; Sam Madison; Patrick Surtain; Jake Scott; Dick Anderson; Ok: Jason Sanders; P: Reggie Roby
sdphinsfan discovered the train powerful however nonetheless fielded a strong roster.
Powerful one…right here goes…(assuming we’re a 3-4 D with this)
DL: Bowens, DenHerder, Jeff Cross
LB: ZT, Duhe, Taylor, Wake
CB: Surtain, Madison (Vincent, McNeal for depth/nickel)
S: Jake Scott, Dick Anderson (Blackwood for depth)
P: Roby
PK: Stoyanovich
LS: Denney
krammm sees Offerdal as an underappreciated former LB for the Phins.
I believe John Offerdahl is likely one of the finest ever. Underappreciated as a result of he wasn’t on an excellent protection.
I used to be at a Dolphins/Buccaneers charity basketball recreation and AJ Duhe (6’3” 245 lbs) may dunk a basketball any approach you wished.
Spok507 chimes in with a scary protection!
DL: Jason Taylor, Can Wake, Tim Bowens
LB: Brian Cox, Zach Thomas, Nick Buonoconti
CB: Sam Madison, Patrick Surtain
S: Louis Oliver, Jarvis Williams
Ok: Olindo Mare
LS: John Denny
P: Reggie Roby
herbert pollack factors out that the now Steeler is a better option than Holland, even given his quick tenure with the Phins.
Minkah ought to be on the record not Holland
Madison/Surtain
Taylor, Bowens, Wake, Baum (Wilkins)
Zach, Cox, Duhe
actually not a lot to select from
Francesco ITA shouldn’t be a fan of Marion!
from 1983
Defensive Linemen
Jason Taylor, Tim Bowens, Bob Baumhower, Cameron Wake
Linebackers
Zach Thomas, John Offerdahl, Bryan Cox
Cornerbacks
Sam Madison, Patrick Surtain
Safeties
Reshad Jones, Minkah Fitzpatrick (not a fan of Brock Marion)
Particular Groups
kicker Jason Sanders, punter Reggie Roby and lengthy snapper John Denney
Thomas23059 factors out a few ignored guys!
John Offerdahl and Louis Oliver
And if Christian Wilkins is on the record, Zach Sieler ought to be as properly.
As for a beginning 11:
D-Line – Taylor, Bowens, and Wake
LB – Thomas, Buoniconti, Duhe, and Cox
CB – Madison and Howard (Surtain because the nickel)
S – Scott and Anderson
Ok – Sanders
P – I’ll take Roby and his watch…
KR – Wes Welker – He could not have been the very best at it, however did anybody keep in mind that he had each probably the most punt returns (127, tied with OJ McDuffie and Jake Scott) and kick returns (166) in Dolphins historical past? I certain didn’t.
LS – Ed Perry
For anybody who has forgotten Ed Perry, he went to Highland Springs Excessive College in Richmond, Virginia (I used to reside down the road from the varsity) after which performed for James Madison College within the Shenandoah Valley. He was drafted by the Dolphins in 1997 as a TE and LS, finally simply snapping. He completed his profession with KC in 2005, at which level, based on Wikipedia anyway, he was the final lively NFL participant to have caught a TD from Dan Marino.
JustACog jogs my memory of a few of our previous dominant defenses.
DE Taylor and Wake
DT Wilkens and Manny Fernandez
LB Tomas, Buonicotti, Matheson
CB Ramsey, X
S Scott, Anderson however Rashad Jones could possibly be higher than each, however I’m old style
Ok Sanders
P Roby
LS Denney
Czonkaholic has a strong level, it’s exhausting to pick an all-time when groups run completely different methods beneath completely different coaches.
For the reason that fish have run a 4/3 and a 3/4 it’s not for my part as straightforward as taking the very best 11
Jason Taylor gained DPOY taking part in exterior linebacker in a 3/4 I’m gonna cheat and decide 12 I’m gonna do
4 d- line and 4- lb’s I’m additionally gonna take gamers who had been right here as rookies or long run careers so no Junior Seau
D-line Jason Taylor,Tim Bowens, Bob Baumhower, Manny Fernandez
LB’s AJ Duhe John Offerdahl Zach Thomas Brian Cox ( sorry Nick B. )
Not together with Nick B is preposterous
Security Dick Anderson Jake Scott
Nook Patrick Surtain X- man
PA phinphan discovered this tougher than the offense, which is truthful, because the group has fielded a terrific protection a number of instances up to now.
This one is rather a lot tougher than the offense. I’ll begin with the simplest, particular groups.
Kicker – Garo Yepremian
Punter – Reggie Roby
LS – John Denney
DL – Jason Taylor, Bob Baumhower, Manny Fernandez, Cameron Wake (probably the most troublesome to decide on: leaving gamers like Doug Betters, Hint Armstrong, Vern Den Herder, Kim Bokamper, Zach Sieler, Christian Wilkins, and many others… was powerful)
LB – AJ Duhe, John Offerdahl, Zach Thomas, Bryan Cox
CB – Patrick Surtain and Sam Madison
S – Glenn Blackwood and Jake Scott (one other powerful one having go away off Anderson, Oliver, and Minkah)
Effectively, that is our random high ten lists this night. There was a robust consensus throughout almost each roster, with some positions clearly tougher to select than others.
