I'm so old I remember him as a player. Dolphins right? Lined up opposite to Patrick Surtain.
All the phins did back then was run 2 deep press man and challenge you to beat it.
With Surtain and Madison along with Taylor rushing and Thomas patrolling the 2nd level, even that simple D was effective. I don't think you can get away with something like that in the modern NFL, but I remember finding it a bit novel back then.
