Dolphins face Raiders opener reshaping after Csonka exit
Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula remains optimistic that the team can reach the Super Bowl despite losing Larry Csonka and three others to the World Football League. He notes a need for a new offensive identity while returning stars like Bob Griese Nat Moore and Mercury Morris. The defense also aims to rebound after last year’s point increase, with key veterans and new coordinator adjustments. The Sept. 22 opener at Oakland looms as a test of how quickly Shula’s rebuilt attack and resilient defense can gel.
