Dropped Balls

[Rich]

How did Dan Marino deal with drops? He refused to pass the ball to guys who were dropping the ball.

Drop my pass and you're not going to see one for 2 qtrs. Drop it again, and I won't pass to you until next week. That's how you fix dropped passes.

I'm sorry but I've never heard Marino say this. Where did you get this info from?? It sounds like a teacher punishing his students in time-out. I don't think receivers would really wanna play for him if this were true, and I don't think that was Shula's way of thinking either. He gave players the chances to redeem themselves after bad plays, to boost their confidence level.
