R.I.P. coach Don Shula Great memories of the dolphins

Showing my age here, but I remember recording this game. I had a great VCR and to this day, my old tapes still look excellent!!! This game got really exciting when *Don Strock* came in. He brings them from down 14 to a tie, but then Miami pulls it out in the final minute. Was a great game!!!

:50 there was no window to throw it into, how did he even manage to fit that in there? Every pass was a laser beam, MY GOD!!! Marino was the greatest to ever throw the pigskin! Other than Aaron Rodgers, no one else comes close to doing what he does!

Dear God do I miss this era. I'll take a 6-10 team from this era over an occasional 10-6, one-and-done in the playoffs, modern era Dolphin team.

I was at this game while in the military. Marino had a cannon

Hey Woodstrock hope you're well. Any plans to put some more mid-80s phins games with the radio highlights up? In my mind they are the best thing on the internet. Appreciate you!

The playoff vs the Browns at the Orange Bowl would be a great to see with the radio call. That was a great comeback by the Dolphins that day.

Don't know which was cooler, the Marino performance or seeing Strock playing for Cleveland. I forgot he played for the Browns...

Clayton could have been a hell of a defensive player! 4:50

But still. Don Strock the best relief pitcher in football. But no one throws a pass prettier than Marino. A couple of my Strock memories: He had the worst first half of his career as a starter in Cleveland vs the Oilers. Came back in the second half and won it getting them into the playoffs. Basically like a backup QB in releif of himself. The next week they played the Oilers in the playoffs and he hurt his hand early in the game. They lost. But still it was exciting. I saw him come in for relief of Griese vs the Browns. in Cleve I think it was in 79. Brian Sipe and the Kardiac Kids won it in OT. The only time I got to see the Fins live. Csonka also played.

Duper must have been inj for this game. And damn, those Miami defenses were horrible back then.Letting Kosar and Strock look like world beaters.

Another great upload..thanks. Any full games from the Marino era?

butsy111 , yes but all these highlights interestingly have the radio broadcast instead of the tv broadcast. I suspect its because the tv network rights or some bull crap! I have all those games from that era but with the tv audio. I love it when Marino recovers his own interception that was fumbled by db!!!

I want to see the marino era full games

Anybody else agree that Banks deliberately didn't get a TD? Astounding presence of mind if so.

Clayton had a big year in 1988. Freddie Banks was a good WR. Could've done a lot more but he always seemed to end up with an injury that caused him to miss several games every year.

Nothing has ever gave me chills like the fins fan cheering strock when he came in. Don strock was my favorite player of all time.

Don Strock was a great relief QB, I wonder why before the Dolphins drafted Marino he never got the starting nod?

I think it may have been a bit of bad timing - he was drafted during HOF'er Bob Griese's career. He started almost half the season in 1978 but then only started a handful of games after that year - and as well as he played he just couldn't keep Griese on the sideline. By the time Griese retired, Strock had become the best backup QB in the game. Oddly enough in looking up his career stats, he was 14-6 as a starter in Miami. What team wouldn't take that! Very underrated as a starter I think. But when you've been backing up two Hall of Famers, I guess it's easy to get overlooked IMHO.

mcgurkryans old people get cold easier. My grandpa gets cold a lot and always wears sweaters and long sleeved shirts.

Hard to watch Strock playing for another team. He also played for the Colts after the Browns. I figured he was going to help pull this game out for the Browns. He seemingly always did for us.

Strock was always underrated. Notice they call the hit on Kosar at 6:00 “clean” but it wouldn’t be today. 😀

If I remember correctly, this was a blacked out game because I didn't watch the game, I was a SR in High School. I didn't find out Miami won till 1st period. 88 was a shaky year, lots of blackout games, my friends that had satellite dishes were out of what my mother called driving range, meaning over 5 miles on a school night.. How did we live without the internet giving updates on the score? We just did.

We didn't have the internet but we had A.M. radio, most of the Dolphin home games were blacked out in the 80's. I would listen to Rick Weaver and Hank Goldberg most of the time when MIA played at home, 610 WIOD.

1988 Dolphins were a strange team- played well to start the season, they were above .500 early, then they went into a cold spell.

Strock was incredible. His number should be retired in Miami.

Marino whistles it

Don Strock would lead the Browns in a 2nd half comeback vs the Oilers the following week in Cleve. The 1st half he was not good. The comeback was remarkable 28-23. Then they'd play the Oilers the following week in the Wild Card Game in Cleve. Strock gets injured. Mike Pagel comes in Browns lose 24-23. A season after the Fumble in Denver. PS Joe Robbie Stadium Just isn't The Orange Bowl : (

*Marino.......!!*

If hampton didnt score than banks would have been out of a job,catches a beautiful bomb in stride on the sideline and instead of just streching his arm out with the ball this goof steps out at the 1!?!?!?

Not for nothing but i witnessed 2 fumbles at the F'N 1 yd line in the same gm this season,bears and dolphins both did it,so banks should be backhanded for not gettin that ball accross the goal line,its one thing to lose ur balance but why is the ball in his far hand!!granted guys didnt try to punch,pull or poke it out as much back then and honestly it seems like back then the ball had to cross the plane not just the nose,at least it seems that way to me,idk!?BANKS SCORE THE DAMN BALL!!!😂😂😂😂😂

🐬🐶🏈🔀

Marino's only losing season, and he lead the league in passing yards, and was only sacked 7 times

Definitely remember being yelled at for staying up late watching this one! Hated the Dolphins. Poor Bernie.
