CrunchTime said:Howard Twilley.Taken in the expansion year at a time when teams made available their worst players he was the only player taken that stuck around for a few years.Short and slow all he did was catch everything thrown his way.
Mike Kolen.Drafted in the 8th round he wouldnt have made in the NFL if it hadnt been for the strike shortened season.After that year he settled in at the LB spot and was one of the biggest hitter on the team for several years thus his nickname "Captain Crunch"
Jon Geisler.Kutchenberg,Fernandez were all great players who never got much credit because they were overshadowed by their team mates.
Tony Nathan,Nat Moore, didnt get the credit they deserved.Gadsden had his moments too.Don "Stroke" Strock was great coming off the bench and almost pulled out a win in one of the greatest games ever played the epic in Miami against the Chargers.(Sorry Dooger I know you disagree but it was a great game)
Crunch, agreed it was a spectacularly entertaining game. I just think it revealed two flawed teams who were destined to be booted the following week in Cincinnati. In the playoffs I love to handicap and highlight vulnerability. Falling behind 24-zip at home demonstrated remarkable vulnerability, as did blowing a 24-0 lead. Admittedly, my memories and evaluation of that game are blurred by the blockbuster fight that immediately preceded it, between my USC row goddess girlfriend and myself driving back to LA after the Fiesta Bowl vs. Penn State. I think we had one 5 minute truce and she even won that one.
My alltime Fin underrated has predictably not been mentioned yet. Bill Stanfill was a perennial Prop Bowler in an era of great DEs. I'll always believe Stanfill and Dick Anderson were the two premier defenders of our No Name era, despite Buoniconti's induction. A neck injury, subsequent ugly dispute with the franchise, and Stanfill's low key media style shouldn't detract from the best overall DE the Dolphins have ever had.
