How can you be "built to ground it out and play defense when you are throwing for 4,500 a season? The whole thing about Marino is that he never had a running game, he never had a real defense to win it all.

That team was built like that before Marino got there...

Miami had LSU's David Woodley, a running attack , and the Killer B Defense...

Enter Marino...

And as Marino's career progressed, with the focus on the strength of his arm - the offense changed, and the defense got old...

Miami had always been a grind and D team before Marino - you accentuate my point of how great a quarteback Marino was to pass so successfully early on with a team that was not built to his talents...
