TK Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 http://dolphins.theinsiders.com/2/204639.html ORANGE SUNDAY By Digest Staff Date: Nov 21, 2003 The Dolphins will be wearing orange jerseys for Sunday night's game against the Washington Redskins, and while you can debate all you want how that's going to look, Zach Thomas said it best when he stated that playing well is what will make the Dolphins look pretty. And clearly, the Dolphins need to play well Sunday night as they prepare to head into the toughest stretch of their schedule. The game marks a reunion of sorts for offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who was Washington's head coach for six-plus seasons before being fired with three games left in the 2000 season. Turner, who beat Washington 30-3 while San Diego's offensive coordinator in 2001, said this was just another game, pointing out the need for the Dolphins to pick up their game. No argument there.
