Roth is no slouch either, their D will be stout as always. Lets hope our tackles are up to the challenge and our WRs can defeat the jam.

I wonder how many heads have exploded over at jetsinsider.

This was their big fish. "Better than AD".

If you go over to finheaven they're all talking about how Porter is better than AD. If you compare his career numbers to Rosevelt Colvin's they're cuprisingly similar.

I love when teams I hate sign players I hate, it makes for an easy transition.

Well I don't remember reading that, but what's it matter, Who cares? Bottom line, both D's have gotten better.

Dolphins give Joey Porter $32 million deal


The Dolphins have agreed to terms with LB Jerry Porter on a five-year, $32 million contract. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus.

Porter will be guaranteed $20 million, a ridiculous figure. He's a big upgrade over Donnie Spragan for coordinator Dom Capers' defense in 2007, but it's doubtful the contract holds up well. Many within the Steelers' organization didn't believe Porter's recent play matched his mouth. Mar. 6 - 9:09 am et

That was stupid:

1) Joey has become inconsistent... you'll never know what kind of game he'll have. Just ask any steeler fan.

2) He has the biggest mouth in the league by far. All the other AFC East coaches should thank the dolphins for getting him. He's instant bulletin board material and should get every team fired to face him, especially the pats.

Joey Porter is a 3-4 OLB who does his best work when rushing the passer from the outside. Occasionally covers TEs/RBs or plays a flat/hook zone.

I am pretty sure in Miami they run a 4-3.
Where he will be forced to play a 4-3 LB at either the will or sam positions since Thomas plays Mike.

As a will he will be forced to chase plays down from behind and as a sam he will be force to man up on the TE. Neither objectives are ones that he's played much over his career.

The transition should be interesting to watch as Joey will make wrong reads and blow coverage assignments early on in the season.
Considering his temperament as a player (angry, emotional) that will play into the occasion as well.

But I wonder do fins phans realize he will have to learn a new position any way you look at it?
