All you’ve gotten is Ricky Williams rushing for 1,853 yards in 2002 — before he left the NFL to smoke weed in a tent around the world. The Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor defenses. The Wildcat game (the look on Bill Belichick’s face was priceless). The 2016 offensive line plowing open running lanes for Jay Ajayi. The Miami Miracle. And Xavien Howard forcing 11 turnovers last year.
Those are the few cherished memories since the Dolphins have averaged 7.4 wins a season for the past two decades, so there has been more despair and heartache than there has been triumph and joy.
