in Miami Dolphins Historical Perspective
Jimmy Warren was drafted out of Illinois by the San Diego Chargers in the 1964 AFL Draft. He intercepted seven passes over two seasons with the Chargers before signing on with the expansion Miami Dolphins.
In his first year with the Dolphins, Warren started each of Miami's 14 games. He intercepted five passes, returning them for a league high 198 yards and one touchdown. His strong play in the defensive secondary was rewarded by his first and only Pro Bowl selection following the season.
In 1967, Warren again started each of Miami's 14 games. He picked off four passes and returned a fumble for a touchdown, garnering a second team All-Conference selection by the Sporting News.
1968 saw Warren again selected as a Sporting News second team All-Conference player, as well as an All-AFL second team selection courtesy of the Newspaper Entertainment Association. He again started all 14 games for Miami, intercepting two passes and recovering two fumbles.
Miami Dolphins 2012 Early-Round Draft Plan: A QB to Groom?
by kmb8488 on Feb 7, 2012 5:00 AM EST
in 2012 Miami Dolphins Draft Prospects
It's common knowledge that there are plenty of "ifs" surrounding Miami's approach to the quarterback position in 2012. What if Archie Manning decides that Peyton should play for the Dolphins? What if Joe Philbin is in it for Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn once free agency kicks off on March 13? What if the Dolphins throw caution (and picks) to the wind and pursue Robert Griffin III in the NFL Draft this April? We'll explore each scenario over the next few weeks and try to get an idea of how a Manning or Flynn acquisition will affect the Dolphins' 2012 early-round draft plans. And in the meantime, we'll be able to alter those draft plans, based on what happens during the NFL Combine in late February, as well as the plethora of pro day workouts scheduled to take place between now and late April.
The inaugural post in this series will focus on quarterback addition that would've seemed like an impossibly long pipe dream just nine months ago: Peyton Manning

Super Bowl Reactions: Apparently Gisele Bundchen Doesn't Like Tom Brady's Receivers
by Mosul_DolFan on Feb 6, 2012 11:03 PM EST
in 2012 Super Bowl XLVI
Okay, so this is not usually something I would put up on the Phinsider. It's loosely football related, and it's from the Super Bowl, but it's more gossip type stuff than anything else, but it's mentionable today simply because I find it funny. Apparently, after the New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants last night in Super Bowl XLVI, Mrs. Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, did not appreciate the ridicule some Giants fans were yelling as she left.

Monday Night Random Thread:Superbowl Hangover Edition
by texascowpunk on Feb 6, 2012 9:00 PM EST
So we have another Superbowl in the books. What have we learned? Well for one I think we now know that it takes consistency to get to the Superbowl and win it. Consistency at QB and with the coaching staff it seems. Here's to hoping that we are now building toward's that here in Miami and that we can have a similar run to what we say from Shula and am now seeing from the likes of Bilichick and Coughlin.
Miami Dolphins Odds to Land Peyton Manning
by Mosul_DolFan on Feb 6, 2012 7:53 PM EST
in 2012 NFL Free Agency
Earlier today, we took a look at the Miami Dolphins odds to win Super Bowl XVLII, along with the odds of the rest of the NFL. But, the website Bovada.lv did not stop with just Super Bowl odds. They also took a look at odds, by team, to land soon to be free agent Peyton Manning.
Manning is expected to be released by the Indianapolis Colts in the upcoming weeks. Manning, the NFL's only four time MVP, is due a $28 million roster bonus on March8, and the Colts are expected to draft Stanford Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck with the first overall draft choice this April. With both of those factors, along with Manning having had three neck surgeries in the past 18 months, and missing all of the 2011 season, the Colts are thought to be ready to move on to a new era.
2013 Super Bowl XLVII Odds

in 2012 Miami Dolphins News
That's right, the NFL season ended last night with the New York Giants defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, and already, the odds for Super Bowl XLVII Champions have been released. Currently, the Green Bay Packers are sitting as the favorites, with 6:1 odds, according to www.Bovada.lv.
After the Packers come the New England Patriots at 7:1, then the New Orleans Saints, 8:1. The newly minted Super Bowl Champion Giants are eighth, with 15:1 chances to repeat.
The Miami Dolphins, meanwhile, come in at 17th, with 35:1 odds. However, the impending free agency, specifically Peyton Manning, who is expected to be released in the coming weeks by the Indianapolis Colts, can, and will, drastically change the odds.

Norm Bulaich graduated from Texas Christian University, and was drafted in the first round, 18th overall, by the Baltimore Colts in the 1970 draft.
In Bulaich's rookie season, he led the Colts backfield with 426 yards on 139 carries and three touchdowns. On their way to Super Bowl V, Bulaich gained 116 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional Playoff, as the Colts won 17-0.

Due to injury, Bulaich's 1972 season was limited to six games. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after the season.

Finhead's Mock Draft: Version 5
by Finhead83 on Feb 6, 2012 5:00 AM EST
in 2012 NFL Mock Drafts
First off, I would like to say I am extremely happy the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots last night. My father is a Giants fan and I grew up watching just as much Rodney Hampton and Otis Anderson run rampant as I watched Miami's carousel of RBs do a whole lot of nothing. It's nice to see not only Miami's rival fall, but to see my father and grandfather so happy with the G-Men's victory. Now if only the Dolphins can bring us that same feeling.
This is my fifth version of the mock draft and there have been a few changes. The draft order finally has the order set with the exception of four spots being decided by a coin toss. The spots that will depend on a coin toss will be marked by an *. As a note, I will not include trade scenarios in the mock drafts. I know there certainly could be moves made and I'm sure there will be at least one trade in the NFL Draft in April, but I will not include them here. I am simply giving a mock draft based on the current order.
1) Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck, QB: It is looking almost certain the Colts will draft Luck and it looks like Peyton Manning and the Colts are on track to part ways. Taking Luck is the best thing for the franchise, even if it does mean that it'll cause you to lose arguably the best player in team history and one of the best QBs to ever play in the NFL.
2) St. Louis Rams - Justin Blackmon, WR: I have been thinking Matt Kalil would be the most likely candidate until recently. I am thinking the Rams just may consider getting a LT with their second round pick. When it comes to taking Blackmon, the top WR, and a good, but not great LT in the second, I think the Rams will find that option preferable. This could go back to Kalil if the Rams address their WR needs in free agency. Another option is the Rams could just trade back if one of the teams interested in Robert Griffin III wishes to trade up.
