Larry Csonka Gets Fired Up For Miami Dolphins vs Bills, Reveals How Mike McDaniel Won Him Over

Listen/Watch to Tobin and Leroy weekday mornings 10:00AM to 2:00PM

[@farvque]

I'm 67 and grew up in Miami and started going to Dolphins games with my parents on Day 1 (Saw Joe Auer run back the opening kick for a TD). Csonk was my hero! He and Kiick and Morris and Greise and Warfield and Little and and and ....... The were the memories of my youth! Love to see him still kicking after all these years.

[@ericsilberstein667]

I was born the same year as the Dolphins and turned 1 after the first Super Bowl. We came into this world together. 😉

[@farvque]

@@ericsilberstein667 I was born in 57 not 67. I was 9-10 when the dolphins came into existence.

[@jackagee3122]

Yes Larry was my freight train number 39 that was the year I was born love to see him play he was my hero nobody could stop him he would carry 3 or 4 guys into the end zone for a touchdown that was the good old day 🎉phin go go go.

[@wcm5636]

I gotta go with Kiick. But all three backs were awesome

[@OMikeyboy]

I'm 63 and the first time I sat through a game from beginning to end was Christmas day 1971. Just an amazing game and the character of that team jumped out of the TV. They fell behind 3 times, but an injured Griese and Csonka were not going to let them lose. That was football at its finest. I've not missed a Dolphins game since. I long for a team like that again. Heart, toughness, and desire.

[@BABADOOK726]

Glad to see Larry still follows his footbal team with passion

[@kirkschappaugh3761]

Larry Csonka is my all time favorite Dolphin 🐬 and a great human being

[@terryromines6539]

He is the kind of running back we need. He was the butt sneak run all by himself , the best player to ever play if you needed a yard he was unstoppable.

[@tonyharrison7852]

When I was a kid Larry Csonka was my hero I read a biography about him in grade school and to this day still consider him my favorite dolphin.

[@IGOTGAMEAJ]

We need Larry to give the team Speech before the Game. I became a Miami fan because of Larry got his 1974 Topps All Pro football Card when I was in grammar school it was one of the greatest football cards of all time and was hooked ever since.

[@scottyjoe22]

62 years old here and grew up in WPB. We loved our Dolphins and still do!

[@Jscottviper]

My all time favorite player… Thanks Larry for all the memories, it’s so cool to know you still care!

[@International_man_of_mystery]

Thanks for your time and perspective Larry!

[@maxlopez8552]

What a legend! Fav dolphin of all time! Shares our fandom too.

[@personalpersonal7973]

Really enjoyed listening to Larry. He always share a great perspective. All time fan of him on and off the field. Would have been a great NFL head coach.

[@MYMAN-Terron]

Thanks guys for bringin on Czonk! Love that guy. Phins Up!

[@sheckyvision7161]

Csonk has buy ten get one free card from best buy for tvs lol. He should be invited to the locker room for a pre game speech!

[@sonjiwilliams3379]

Let Czonka know that as a kid growing up in Broward County. The Dolphins were so good that my elementary school would sing the Dolphins fight song after the pledge of allegiance. That's when I started loving the Dolphins, and no matter what, I'll always love the Dolphins. I was at the game against the Ravens last week on the 1st row in the Endzone, and the entire game, I was very loudly rooting and encouraging the Dolphins. I heckled the Ravens the entire game as well. I hated losing the game, but Miami Dolphins are still #1 in my book. PS I'm 57 and a beast of a fan!

[@uanto]

This game is more important than the next one.

[@danieldavila6281]

What a great post!!! A fan since 1967! Thick or Thin, Fins for Life!

[@kennybyrd770]

Great visit with a great Dolphin!!!!

[@Tjfloodflorida]

Csonka’s Fins trademark 8-9 minute opening drives in HEAT in Ole Orange Bowl were stuff of legend. Demoralizing for opponent. Csonka played with arm pads, gloves, it was a man’s game.

[@OMikeyboy]

They were amazing. It was a perfect mix of offense and defense.

[@johngordon3173]

My mom was a rabid Finz Fan before I was born. She was camping out waiting overnight for Cowboys Dolphins Super Bowl Tickets. Apparently Larry Csonka's Mom was right behind her in line and Larry brought them coffee while they waited in line. He is a class act and Hall of Famer. FINZ UP

[@39zonk]

I watched Joe Auer score those first points. I suffered through Oakland beating us that day and then beating us in Oakland during our first ever playoff game. I chose my KZbin handle because of this man. And would gladly give it up, if he wanted it. My all time Dolphin hero. And, I might add, #13. Jake Scott.

[@user-hq6cr9td6b]

Zonk was a beast in his era!

[@nmb5588]

Met Csonka and Kiick at a free photos and autograph show in Burdines department store around '72. Was in awe as a 10 year old kid.

[@garrettgrimes7561]

@@NotTheBot No & Czonka was a no show. Jim Kiick was the only one who showed up. Me, my brother and a bunch of friends got his autograph that day. Pretty cool experience for this young lad at the time.

[@dolfandon7124]

Time to be what we say we are! Csonka it was you and your team that made me a Fins fan as a young boy. FINS UP!! The turkey's on the table!

[@davedewitt3988]

LEGEND!!

[@Laura-dolphinfanl]

i heard the Ravens knew our plays ... on the Rich Eisen show , Queen admitted that they knew 'tells' ...

[@MYMAN-Terron]

I heard that! How stupid. You going to tell one of the best coaches at detailed tape analysis that he has tells? Look for him to exploit that this week.

[@williammartin6519]

Mr Czonka you are the reason I became a Dolphin fan ...

Outstanding interview w Larry, gentlemen. Where’s the turkey? I’m hungry too. 😆🐬🏈🦃

[@brianlandis5382]

I was born in 1976, So I don’t have the pleasure of watching Larry play..My Dad always told me how great he was, and I’ll say that he gets me pumped for this game!! 🐬🐬🐬 Go Fins!!

Best interview in a long time we’ll done love 39

[@danieldavenport4211]

You still the man Larry, Though I was born in 1971 still watch the games you played , Phins up time to carve the turkey

[@williamcarr7347]

Larry said it made him want to put his foot through his tv not that he once did it. It was great to hear him talk turkey. It's time to eat.

[@jeffreymatriccino2603]

The “good ole days” ! Athletes now are so much faster and stronger. Things change. As long as you win keep doing what you are doing.

[@sonjiwilliams3379]

It would be amazing if Csonka and past players all attend our playoff game to support and encourage our current team. We're hurt with injuries, but I think those GREATS can help us win just by showing up in person to encourage share some strategies and help build up the players.

[@JmacMAC]

I live in Council Bluffs Iowa which is 3 hours from arrowhead stadium! I don't want us to lose this Sunday's game but if we do I'm going to try and get tickets to the game in arrowhead.

[@NPALTA]

They are learning how to win as a collective. People want results today .. The culture does t change overnight. It’s a trial by fire. Be patient and trust the process. They haven’t been this good in years. I’d even say decades. Remember that.. phins up

[@NPALTA]

T.O.P. Is the phins friend. Use your offense as a defense. Long sustained drives will beat any hot offense. By keeping them off the field. T.O.P. Time of possession. C’mon Mike slow and steady

[@QBAN2010]

Holy moly you guys refused to ask Csonka the question on everyone’s mind! Zonk, do you watch hard knocks? What do you think of that show? What would Shula have thought about it????? Come on guys!!!!

[@NotTheBot]

10:29 They lost concentration after the half. And the injuries are excessive. Focus on fixing the fragility. Something is causing that. The home field and practice sod? Maybe it’s TOO good and they need to prep on difficult turf? Idk. Someone smart needs to focus on why the excessive injuries. It’s too much disruption for a team that is so good with rhythm and flow.

[@terryromines6539]

Plain and simple we do not play well against mobile QB's . I thought that was why we drafted Tindall where is he hurt, like all our other draft picks in the works.

[@scorpionstingz4983]

Then being able to do it should be Top priority.

[@brando7266]

Tindall is another Grier draft bust,

[@buyystocks]

buff 37-16

[@michellecuervo4850]

The Miami Dolphins need to come up with the wild cat . They haven’t done that for long time ….

[@RyanLee1986]

Can we please just throw at least 50% less screen passes and flats for 1 yard or less? It's such a wasted play 9 out of 10 times. We got speed, use it more. Reek and Waddle should be getting at least 1 deep post route shot every possession. Their odds of creating space deep are much better than any stupid screen pass.

[@jasonlape6684]

This team needs a oline not the entire lone though . We need a real center to start . So we stop this plug a hole with a guard Bs. Then we need a good LB and maybe another corner. Restructure chub and get another DB

[@zlatankrebski2738]

CTE does funny things to old players

I bet you he ain't saying that after the L we just took

[@1ZZ1_1ZZ1]

Csonka played REAL football, not Hollywood pussy ball. I can't even imagine he could sit through this nonsense. He was a tough, smart, bruising running back. I've been a Dolphins fan for 54 years and he's my all time favorite. Change back to the real logo, go back to our roots and leave it alone.

[@allabouttheu2182]

the dolphins are gonna go out there and lose this game in embarrassing fashion. just like we always do. it’s what we do

[@ryanspring7649]

The Bills have the better QB, better OL, better DL, history of owning the Dolphins this generation, are healthier, need the game more and might have more fans in the stands than the Dolphins. I predict Sunday night will be a complete disaster

[@readmelancholystrumpetmaster]

I love Larry Csonka, but Bills won

[@johnkonley1421]

Sorry but the NFL.,is now the national Folly League Csonka played against Dick Butkus,Jack Hamm ,and Lambert,with the NFL now you can't touch the guy or you get penalized. All wussies.I remember Butkus breaking a guy's neck,that was football.they played kill the guy with the ball.Now you have quarterbacks whine( he hit me,where's the flag) and they get it.Dont like Pro football anymore.College ball much better,they don't get $millions to sit on bench with a toe injury.I remember playing with a broken toe, actually 2 broken toes.Csonka my favorite running back of all time along with Payton.

[@rodneyaparamore]

Tua is handy Cap mentally McDaniel and QB coach and Chris Grier is covering up for their mistakes in the pass and present in who they let go and who they kept on the team are not working out ? Got rid of the wrong people like Brain Flores ❤ and anothers player's

[@thedudearoundtown]

Flores 🗑

[@Rattlesnake3]

Miami is 11-5 and has a chance to win the division Let’s go fins!!!

[@NJPhins3153]

Flores was a good defensive coach but a terrible head coach. The staff was pathetic. Sorry he's not a good head coach.
