Here's my list of top 10 Dolphin defenders of all-time:

1. Jason Taylor - heading to the hall?
2. Nick Buonticonti - only Mia defensive player in hall
3. Dick Anderson - signature game w/4 ints. vs. Steelers
4. Zach Thomas - similar to Buonticonti maybe wo/the leadership
5. Bob Baumhauer - one of my favs at DT
6. AJ Duhe - one of best Mia moments w/int return in playoffs vs. Jets
7. Jake Scott - Super Bowl VII MVP, always in the right place
8. Pat Surtain - best corner we've ever had
9. Tim Bowens - the defensive turnaround in the mid-90's began w/him
10. John Offerdahl - only star on defense for a long time
 
i think youre pretty right one those, except that how can you say that ZT doesnt have the leadership?

JT will end up in the hall, i think ZT deserves to be there too but wont get there without a super bowl unfortunatly.
 
Jason Taylor should be a dead cert to head to Canton.

Lets hope he gets Def MVP this year.
 
Great list. Although I think Madison and Surtain interchangeable.

I love Zach, but question what he says sometimes to the media. I know he gets frustrated, but those comments make me question his leadership at times.

Using those players, I would think:

1. Jason Taylor - heading to the hall?
2. Nick Buonticonti - only Mia defensive player in hall
7. Jake Scott - Super Bowl VII MVP, 5-time pro bowler
4. Zach Thomas - similar to Buonticonti maybe wo/the leadership
3. Dick Anderson - 4 pix and 3-time pro bowler
10. John Offerdahl - only star on defense for a long time
5. Bob Baumhauer - one of my favs at DT
6. AJ Duhe - one of best Mia moments w/int return in playoffs vs. Jets

not even close.
Surtain is much better.

surtain was always top notch while madison was on the decline for his final two years.

Madison was a playmaker and is close to the top 10 IMO. Surtain was just a more complete player.

Too bad Vincent didn't play in Miami longer. I wish JJ could have kept him.

Interesting. I struggled ranking Anderson and Scott because I think they were pretty close. That was a heck of a safety combination!
