Could you imagine one of BB players pulling that *****. I would picture BB marching out on field and grabbing the player by the facemask and dragging his sorry ass of the field.

At the very least, the guy would be unemployed and his locker emptied of crap before he could even walk to the tunnel, into the locker room and take a shower.

His attitude is the main reason the Steelers didn't even bother to make him an offer. The idea of having Porter on the team with a brand new head coach last season was an explosive combination. Bill Cowher kept him in check, but he'd have been a loose cannon under Tomlin.

I loved him in the black and gold, but he'd have hurt more then helped last season. And this year, he's doing great with sacks, but is still weak on run support.

That was a wise move given a 1st time HC. Let the team focus undistracted on the team issues. Besides, reigning in Rthlsbrgr's large ego small brain is enough of a challenge for any coach. Cowher knew a losing battle when he saw one. Once Rthlsbrgr had that ring given to him by the refs and his teammates efforts, he was a God to the benighted fans of that gawd awful area and impossible to restrain from 'being Ben'.

Funny how a Porter thread turns into a Bash Ben thread.

Ben's been playing as well as can be expected with the transition of going from a Bettis/Parker running team to a Parker/Davenport/Moore running team, and the loss of his entire O-Line from the SB winning team. Center, Jeff Hartings, Retired, now on his 2nd center since that retirement. Mahan was a bust last year in free agency, then we got Hartwig from Carolina. Kendell Simmons, RG, Hurt, replaced with 2nd year man out of Rutgers Stapleton. LG Faneca, to the Jets, replaced with Kemoeatu 4th year out of Utah. Marvel Smith LT, Back Injury, Replaced with Trai Essex, 4th year Northwestern, RT Max Starks Still Playing, 5th year Florida.

Could be, that maybe his o-line just isn't quite the same.

You're right, Toothless' O-line is to blame for all that happens to him and I hope they remind him of that Sunday.

Funny nickname, will be about as funny as "Limpy" when Brady gets back.

All I alluded to was the play of Ben now vs when he had a different o-line when they won the SB. Fact is, the o-line isn't the same and even the philosphy of run first has changed under Arians.

Let me know when Limpy becomes the all time Pats Passing leader ok.
