Okay, so, I’ve been digging into some old-school NFL stuff lately, and I decided to really get into the 1982 Miami Dolphins roster. I started by going through all the resources I could find online.
First off, I gathered all the basic info. You know, who played for the Dolphins that year, their positions, stats, and all that jazz. I stumbled upon a bunch of different websites, forums, and even some old news articles. They were all saying pretty much the same thing – this was the roster for the 1982 season, and the team was part of the AFC East division in the NFL. They played their home games at the Hard Rock Stadium, which I thought was pretty cool. It’s like, the basics, but important.
Then, I started comparing the info from different sources. It was mostly consistent, but I found some minor differences here and there. Names, numbers, you know, the usual stuff that can get mixed up. But overall, it was painting a clear picture of who was on the team. It wasn’t too hard, but it did take some time to make sure everything lined up.
After that, I dove into the stats. Touchdowns, yards, all that good stuff. I wanted to know who the key players were, who made the big plays. This was when things got interesting. I found out that they had a 7-2-0 record that year, which, for a shortened season, was not too shabby. They scored 93 points at home and 105 on the road, which gave me a good idea of their performance.
Next, I decided to compile all this information into a spreadsheet. This made it super easy to see everything in one place. I listed the players alphabetically and numerically, just like I saw on some of the websites. I also added their stats and some notes about their performance throughout the season. Don Shula was the coach, and that got me thinking about how he led the team. It was fun to see how each player contributed to the team’s overall success.
I also looked into the team’s schedule from that year. Seeing who they played against and how they did in each game was like watching the season unfold all over again. It was a strike-shortened season, which I had to keep in mind. It made their record even more interesting to me.
Finally, I spent some time just reflecting on all this info. It’s wild to think about how much the game has changed since then, but also how much of the core strategy and excitement remains the same. It made me appreciate the history of the sport and the legacy of teams like the 1982 Dolphins.
So yeah, that’s my little deep dive into the 1982 Miami Dolphins roster. It was a fun project, and I learned a lot. Plus, it gave me a whole new appreciation for those old-school players and games.
- Home record: 4-0-0 (93 points scored, 63 allowed)
- Road record: 3-2-0 (105 points scored, 100 allowed)
Final Thoughts
Man, what a trip down memory lane! I really enjoyed putting all of this together. It felt like I was piecing together a puzzle, and each piece was a player, a game, or a stat. Hope you all found this as interesting as I did. It’s pretty cool to see how a team from the past came together and made their mark on the game.
