Can't remember anything great he did on the field during a game. So I guess my favorite memory of him was Ace Ventrua knocking him out with ether.

It's been a while since I've seen it but didn't he knock out Keith Byars with the ether on the track?

It was a shame that JJ had such a bad relationship with veterans. It would have been nice to keep, Vincent, Coleman, and Cox. Instead of having to rebuild the defense from scrap.

I'm not complaining about their eventual replacements, Madison, Taylor, and Thomas, but I still resent JJ for forcing out so much talent from an underacheiving team. It blew Marino's last chances for at a SB ring.

He didn't force them out. The salary cap mess that Shula left did. In fact, JJ has said numerous times that he really wanted to keep both Vincent and Cox.

He was pretty solid against the run to the outside. He was always a half-step too slow getting pressure on the QB. Honestly, he didn't impress me very much.

Yup. He would up having a decent career, but nothing special. Personally Coleman was a guy that was considered a borderline 1st round pick when he was drafted (in fact, ESPN had a camera on him during the draft as a "bubble" prospect). Shula drafted him way too high.

I knew his strength coach here in Atlanta, while he played for Georgia Tech. The thing I distinctly remember him saying was how Marco was a workout fiend in the weight room and was very much a yes sir, no sir class act. The coach thought he would be a great asset to my favorite team.

Wow the only memeory I have of him was a picture. It was the Dolphins trio: Dan, Marco and Keith.

Wow, 1992 seems like a lifetime ago. I remember Marco was supposed be what JT became for us. After a few DE draft busts, Shula came through with his selection. What could have been. Anyone have a favorite Coleman memory? Thanks Marco.

94 playoffs against SD. I think Coleman had 2 sacks and the 4th down, goal line stop in the 3rd quarter (right before the safety, which cost us the game).

When he was traded to the Broncos.
