Title: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: EDGECRUSHER on October 19, 2008, 04:41:00 pm I, along with many other fans thought he was washed up last year. Porter said it was just the different defensive scheme Cameron used, and he will be back under Sparano. I rolled my eyes, along with a lot of other people.
Well, Joey leads the NFL in sacks right now with 7.5 and has shut me up. The Fins aren't great, but it's good to know Porter is out there wreaking havoc and can maybe teach some of the younger guys how to play.

Though I would say devotion to team first before the NFL. I still think the NFL is in shambles and needs tougher fines and more stringent rules. Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: DZA on October 19, 2008, 04:43:49 pm Actually 8.5 sax now. But yeah JP is having a good year.
Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: Defense54 on October 20, 2008, 09:28:33 am He was my Vote last year in my Most Disliked Dolphin Thread.
He 's in my Top 3 favorites now. Whats changed about Joey Porter? He's got coaches that actually motivate him now. Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: CF DolFan on October 20, 2008, 10:21:23 am ^^^ I'm guessing it has more to do with where he is playing on the field but if you think it's the coach's motivational speeches knock yoursefl out! ;D

His agent? ::) Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: EDGECRUSHER on October 20, 2008, 11:25:30 pm They ran a different defensive scheme last year than what he was used to and it showed. This season they are back to his normal scheme and he is killing it.
It's strictly a scheme thing with Joey.

This season they are back to his normal scheme and he is killing it. It's strictly a scheme thing with Joey. Exactly. Which brings me back to my oringinal post: He's got coaches that actually motivate him now. ::) Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: DolFan619 on October 23, 2008, 06:33:39 pm Count me in among the others that thought Porter was finished and that the Dolphins were saddled with yet another bad free agent contract. However, Joey has proven me wrong and he looks like the Joey Porter that wreaked havoc in Pittsburgh. He's having a Pro Bowl year.

Which brings me back to my oringinal post: He's got coaches that actually motivate him now. ::) More like coaches he wouldn't even think about being insuboordinate to or disrespecting in front of the rest of the team. And he's tearing it up, which makes up for the loss of JT. Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on October 26, 2008, 06:36:24 pm Give him credit today for nailing Trent Edwards for that safety.

And he's tearing it up, which makes up for the loss of JT. JT!? Who's That? ;D (I do still miss Zack though........ :-[) Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: NADS on October 27, 2008, 03:11:30 am JT!? Who's That? ;D (I do still miss Zack though........ :-[) Now that's some stones coming from a guy with 99 in his name. Porter could have played better last year in the 4-3 --should have returned that pick against Pittsburgh for a TD and the win-- but his mindset wasn't right. Nagging injuries and "the wrong scheme" led to a bad year. Another motivator for Joey is he's now the team leader. With Zach and Jason gone, it's his show. Jawing gets this guy going and that wasn't the 54/99 way. Porter was a beast in the victory over the Bills. Title: Re: Give Credit to Joey Porter Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on October 27, 2008, 09:41:23 am He is a nominee for GMC defensive play of the week.

At the pace he's going he could be considered for NFL Defensive Player of the Year towards the end of the season.
