2001 was loaded with talent, but a good number of them were true freshman or underclassmen that year. Taylor, Wilfork, MacGhee, Gore, Vima, DJ, Dre, Winslow. If we’re going to project the 2001 team playing the Lions then project them as the players they were at that time. Or, have some fun by...

If you want to pick a bad 2000 game by Dorsey pick the LaTech game. I think he threw 3 or 4 picks, and the defense had no clue how to defense a freshman QB named Luke McCown. LaTech was a bad team. Miami won 42-31 as a 30+ point favorite, at home. This is the game that kept the Canes out of the...

Agreed. And no surprise he is coaching in the NFL.
