We have two hall of fame centers…and you pick Tim Ruddy? Foley over all-pro safety Dick Anderson? I’m taking Kuechenberg over Foster.
 
QB- Marino
RB - Csonka
RB - Williams
WR - Warfield
WR - Clayton
TE - Jackson
OT - Webb
OT - Long
OC - Stephenson/Langer (Don't ask me to choose here)
OG - Little
OG - Kuechenberg

- I'm going with a 4-3 here

DE - Taylor
DE - Stanfill
DT - Fernandez
DT - Baumhower
LB - Thomas
LB - Bouniconti
LB - Offerdahl
(Yeah, they all three played Inside. So, what)
CB - Surtain
CB - Howard
FS - Scott
SS - Anderson
 
To ALL Fins fans….After Dan of course, the next player that automatically makes this list is Dwight Stephenson! They are #’s 1 and 2 and everyone else takes a back seat to these guys! With all due respect to Langer. Dwight was THE best Center to EVER suit up!! Don’t take my word for it. Do the research yourself and see what the all time greats, players AND coaches had to say about the guy. He was a once in a lifetime player!!

The only thing Stephenson lacked was the length of his career…Jim Langer was a great one too!

Not suggesting Dan shouldn’t be the starter…but the greatness of Bob Griese continues to be undervalued by the modern Dolphin fan.

8 time Pro Bowler….1971 NFL MVP…2X All-Pro…1977 NFL player of the Year….1977 Touchdown pass leader (after the Super Bowl run and after the departure of Csonka, Kiick and Warfield…Nearly perfect in winning 2 Super Bowl rings and NFL hall of famer!

X has to be one of the CBS imo. I’m in my 20s but my dad schooled me on my fins lore and I don’t remember hearing about any of the names I’m seeing at TE. Are those guys there because there aren’t better options or should I go watch some highlights of these dudes?

Ruddy as the center? Lol. Ruddy was the most overrated player the Dolphins may have ever had. Have you ever heard of Dwight Stephenson? Many consider him the best center to ever play the position.
 
copy/past of 'Deep because it looks really good. I made a few changes on the defensive side though. AJ Duhe is in my top 5 all time favorite Dolphins so had to include him

QB- Marino
RB - Williams
FB - Csonka
WR - Warfield
WR - Clayton
TE - Hardy
OT - Webb
OT - Long
OC - Stephenson
OG - Little
OG - Kuechenberg


DE - Taylor
DE - Wake
DT - Fernandez
DT - Baumhower
LB - Thomas
LB - Duhe
LB - Offerdahl
CB - Surtain
CB - Madison
FS - Scott
SS - Anderson
 
Dan Marino, Dwight Stephensen, Paul Warfield and Jake Scott should automatically be on every list as they are league level all-time greats. The rest of the XI had some closer decisions.

QB- Marino
RB - Williams
FB - Csonka
WR - Warfield
WR - Clayton
TE - Keith Jackson
OT - Webb
OT - Long
OC - Stephenson
OG - Little
OG - Kuechenberg
DE - Taylor
DE - Wake
DT - Fernandez
DT - Wilkins
LB - Thomas
LB - Duhe
LB - Offerdahl
CB - Surtain
CB - Madison
FS - Scott
SS - Anderson
 
Moore at WR had 2 TDs every 3 starts. He was on pace with Clayton and he didn’t play during an era that favored WRs in Miami. I think he should be on someone’s list. I have nothing else to add that isn’t already posted so I didn’t make a list. Oh, Stoyanovich. That is all I have to add.
