The 83 Miami team was nowhere near as talented as their late 80s and later on teams.
Alonzo Highsmith was pretty solid, and Speedy Neal played some downs in the NFL. Eddie Brown was a good WR but nothing like they had later.
The 2001 team we faced made that 83 team look like Jr High. At RB they had Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore and Najeh Davenport. WR they had Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish. TE they had Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow's son. On the DL they had Vince Wilfork and Jerome McDougle. At LB they had Jonathan Vilma and DJ Williams. In the secondary they had Antrell Rolle, Mike Rumph, Ed freaking Reed, Sean Taylor, and Philip Buchanan. That was a near NFL team loaded with future All Pros.
