Zach. It ends there. I was to young to see any others play that had any real flash. Hope are new lb's get me to add to the list.

same here
 
A LOT of really good ones. I guess Buoniconti, Offerdahl, Cox and Thomas were the best. My favorite I guess would be Zach, though I don't know that he's better than Buoniconti.

My Dolphin fan "career" only goes back to 1990 or so.....so I would go with John Offerdahl, Bryan Cox, and Zach Thomas. On the other end of the spectrum, I think Derrick Rodgers was such a big disappointment. He was highly touted coming out of Arizona State, and was supposedly going to tear it up in the NFL. He never really panned out, then got into some trouble off the field, and was eventually shipped off to New Orleans.

erm... haveta disagree there... Rodgers wasn't very hyped, and was considered a major stretch by most publications i read... he was a 26yearold rookie who played band in high school and picked up football in college... they got about what they expected out of him... good pass coverage, steady but unspectacular play on the outside... he was what he was...

as for worst LBs, let's not forget Jackie Shipp, (whom we traded away a second first-round pick that year ['84]to move up and grab), Jay Brophy (2nd round that same year), Alex Moyer, and my all-time least favorite: Rick Graf... we could really pick em in the 80s ... zzz.... largely the reason we had a very KC Chiefs-like defense that whole decade after '83 and wasted Dan's prime years...

on the bright side, i would venture a guess we currently have the best and deepest group of linebackers we've ever had... and that's how you win in the NFL...
 
Bryon Cox, And my favorite moment of his ... was the flipping off entrance in Buffalo.
