Miami was the first team I saw this year to use the fake reverse action Landry scored on one of those on a walk in.

He said that they have been working on that play for over a month in one of the interviews I saw.

Miami was the first team I remember seeing throwing a pass to the QB. Shula did it a few times in the early 80s when Woodley was QB.
