If I had to pick my favorite Miami player, even though I didn't see much football as a kid, it's between Marino and Csonka.

I loved this guy growing up! My favorite all time Dolphin! I still have my #22 Merc, Dolphins jersey from the 70’s! Actually both of them!

Larry csonka jim brown bo jackson earl Campbell were the power runners of the NFL

My all-time favorite

the track is really good, but dj koze gave it another dimension

Perfect. Just Perfect. TYMM.

One of the greatest to ever play the game. Godspeed Murc🙏🏾😢💔

Looks like the biggest kid in the neighborhood out there.

He was in Miami before Shula? Wasn’t he?

Bob was clutch! Enjoyed thanks! Steeler game was the best!!!!

Cmon no ronnie brown wildcat pass to fasano?

I grew up in south Florida in those early glory days. Moved around the country much since that perfect season as a child, but I have always remained a diehard fan. Much blood, sweat, and tears scarificed since then lol. Maybe the bittersweetness will be answered soon, just win a damn playoff game please!!!

Hop on boys, and let's go for a ride 😮

I think Csonka is the only player to be flagged for unnecessary roughness while running the ball

If Larry Csonka would have switched to defence and played middle linebacker he would be in the Hall of Fame for that.

Was a legend james. Will always be remembered

🔥🔥🔥

He almost played linebacker, they say, but he ran so fast; so the coach said he's paying fullback instead. He would have made a good linebacker, though.

Good vid. Imagine a team with John Riggins and Csonk each playing in alternate sets of downs or quarters like Craig James and Dickerson did at SMU.

My favorite four players are, in alphabetical order are Dick Butkis, Larry Csonka, John Riggins and Lawrence Taylor! They were STUDS!

Defenses hated playing the dolphins back in that era, Csonka punished them.

Csonka created the term "beast" for running backs

His highlights vs Oakland don’t look very good

Why’s he so majestic 😭

Also, he’s the only qb to lead a team to an undefeated season, in my eyes, he is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever touch a football field. And the fact that they don’t put him up there with the greats is disgusting.

Nobody understands that this is the only quarterback to ever give Miami a Super Bowl. Not only 1 but back to back.

He was great! Part of the oranges backfield

A beast!

Is he still alive

Runaway train!💥💫🐬

Without Csonka, no undefeated season. He's the thumb of the hand.

Even at the end of his career with the Giants, Csonka was punishing defenses.

what a team - dominant - all pros at every position - Csonka was an absolute beast.

Beautiful.

Was Larry "The Zonk" Csonka the best "Power-Back" there ever was??? Better than Jim Brown, John Riggins, Earl Campbell, Ottis("O.J."), Anderson, Jerome Bettis, and Mike Alstott????? "The Zonk" is #1.......

3:42 I've never seen that...well, maybe I did I just don't remember. He once said that he always got up slowly so the other team would never know if he was hurt. Brilliant!

The dj koze remix is soulful

Great episode!!!!

2069 , I read robot, mercery 😇

That little weasel would always scramble his way out of disastrous situations. Every time I would go to the Orange Bowl and watch him scramble away from the defense it would drive me crazy. Couldn't stand the Dolphins but Griese could scramble every bit as good as Tarkenton or Staubach, take my word for it.

BROTHER was made for BATTLE. 😅

I met Larry Csonka. Poor guy was in a wheelchair. Couldn't walk.

Blue Collar backfield Mercury Morris Jim Kiik Larry Czonka they don't make em like that anymore! Does the NFL still have the running back position? If they do they must be mice not like the men of old!

Nice video bro.

I loved this video and thank you. I remember Nat Moore running the opening kick off back vs OAK in '74 but I had honestly forgotten about that Benny Malone run that put us up in that game. The Dick Anderson return against the Colts is just a masterpeice to this day! 'PHINS UP!

I love this!!!! As a kid, we used to trade Mercury Morris cards. I love the addition of the supermarket music too!!!!

Great job! Dick Anderson’s play in 1971 Championship is #1, Garo’s kick the week before is #2 and #3 is one you left out which is the beautifully blocked 8 yard touchdown run with four minutes remaining by Jim Kick to win the 1972 Divisional Playoff game vs the Browns to save the undefeated season.

2:35 Roy WInston of my Vikes hit the Zonk so hard, hardest hit up to that point i ever seen, 1972 the Dolphins undefeated season. Vikes had them but the Dolphins came back and beat em in the end with a play action fake to Zonk and then a pass in the end zone to end it. I still cant believe Zonk came back in after that hit, it looked like he got shot with a deer rifle. The Zonk was one tough piece of leather. X -tra props for using a CCR song, great video.

MFR. Dolphins' Mercury Morris; flew like a bird with the wind, ran and jumped like a cat in roof tops, bark and bite like a military dog, stung like a bee in open fields and fought with a huge heart and soul -- facing every Sunday opposing defenses wanting this man dead! And yet, Morris is not in the NFL Hall of Fame; had perfect season and won two super bowl rings! What's up with that? He was definitely right. Meanwhile, O.J. Simpson and others won the Heisman Trophy, braking rushing records and inducted in the Hall of Fame and today The Juice is behind bars and parole! The NFL is corrupt. p.s. did you witnessed how the defense mauled Mercury when they got their hands on him after a huge run, they wanted this man dead! Morris was running for the rest of his life. God only knows if Morris started in the NFL tossing or spiking the ball in anger after every TD!

Bob Griese was surgically precise when it came to dissecting defenses. He knew what plays to call and when to call them.
