Do you remember 1997

What players still on the Fins (not incuding O. J. McDuffie) had the most receptions for the Fins in 1997 ?

Now that is hard, considering that our whole recieving corps have changed since then. I will guess that it is a trick question and that no one on the Dolphins now had a reception for us in 1997.

OJ was the leading receiver, but there was someone else that caught a few...

Oronde Gadsden I don't think he was on the team back then, but it is worth a try.

OG started in '98.

darn!

i knew that one without looking it up! can't remember what i was looking for on the roster and saw that perry was the only one left.

Ed is the man

BTW

from http://www.finheaven.com/history/1997.shtml#receiving

Ed Perry had 11 catches for 45 yards and 1 TD.
His 11 catches were tied with Lawrence Phillips 9th on the team.

39

in that picture, i know he caught the ball and it was a TD, but why wasn't a flag thrown. you can see the DB's hand on chambers chest?

 

[dolphan39]

it was Chambers (http://www.miami.com/herald/content/sports/football/dolphins/digdocs/080916.htm) , but at the point the pix was taken he was probably about when you are allowed to hit him. I always favor the DB though - there are way too many pass interference calls for my taste.
