Great work, really makes you realize what a mess this franchise was in.
Everytime I hear Wannstedt's (Wanny's) name it makes me cringe!
I know we have been snake bit before, but I feel confident this francise is on the way up and no longer in a downward spiral or mired in the muck depending on your view point.
On another note, its sad that Zack Thomas and Jason Taylor couldn't be here to see and compete with a better Dolphin team.His'nBeatYour'n likes this. -
Yeah, their departure also signaled the end of Jimmy Johnson's fingerprints on this franchise.

That's awesome. Thanks!
And really, I'm gonna give I-P credit for Ricky also. No way I see him on our roster/ ready to play well w/o Tuna and Co.
I feel pretty good about the roster. We really seem to be headed in the right direction.His'nBeatYour'n likes this. -
