Great article. I have the NFL films Dolphins 72 season recorded and watch it a few times a year. It's only thirty minutes but brings back a lot of smiles watching those guys play.
One small sentence from the article that can hit you in a saddening way.
"Even the youngest living players from the team are now in their 70s."
Great article. I laughed at this part. Belichick started copying early.
Dick Anderson, safety: Bill Belichick used to watch our practices in the early '70s, leaning on the fence, as a young guy, with Don Shula yelling at guys. He saw how it was being done. He learned from him. He learned from (defensive coordinator) Bill Arnsparger, who was brilliant on defense. I never questioned a single call [Arnsparger] ever made. We had very little dissension on the team. Everybody had a job, and they did it. That comes from good coaching.

I love this part from Csonka:
“ He was so attentive to all the details that it was hard to live with him. He was an irritated soul. He woke up irritated at 5:30 in the morning, and at 6:30 at night, he was still irritated. That was where the pressure came from. Not perfection. It was Shula.”

Csonka may have left for the WFL, but he came back in '79, which speaks a lot. After he retired, they really became close.

Of all the players from that team, I think I'd most want to talk with Csonka. Love all his comments over the years.
Fernandez would also be high on my list.
Finally something worth clicking on.

Oh yeah. Csonka is the man. Though I'd only want to visit him in Alaska and do some hunting. Then back to my Santa Cruz weather

Love Santa Cruz. Great place.
I think Mercury Morris would be fun to hang out with. My favorite was Bob Griese at the time. Heck, so many I'd love to talk to.
