Great article about Porter from Sports Ill

Great article. Summed up my feelings about getting him and how important I think his presence in the locker and on the field will be.
 
The emotional leadership he will bring will do just as much as what he does on the field.

This is my favorite part of the article

"It's shocking that they let him go," Ward says, "because he was really the emotional leader, the guy who brought out the best in a lot of players. That's why so many veterans -- Alan Faneca, James Farrior and others -- called me when they heard he was released. We were all shocked.

"You can always replace players, but you can't always replace leaders. That's what we lose more than anything. It was tough when we lost Jerome (Bettis) before last year, and then we lost Coach Cowher. Now we lose Joey Porter? It's gonna be different
 
That type of fierce attitude is something we haven't had for a long time!!!:fire: I can't wait until the #55 Porter jerseys come out. :dolphins:
 
See, all that posted garbage about Porter having lost a step and being injured was just a way for Pittsburg to cover up the fact that their just to cheap to pay their players. Joey's going to be good for our team for a while.
 
Says Porter: "I can be that loose cannon, as long as I'm a controlled loose cannon. Nobody's gonna come out and push us around -- I can promise you that."

This quote makes me so excited. We've been lacking attitude like this for too too long.
 
all this talk kinda reminds me of when seau left for the fins. he was supposed to be an emotional leader for the chargers. only difference is we got porter in his prime. Good for Us!
 
This article made me feel so good, I was really high about that pick up at first, then with it seemed that every body in the nfl & media circle were bashing the Fins, but reading what Ward ( whom I respect very much ) had to say about him, just make feel anxious to see how our def will play next year.
