Matt Williamson on Joey Porter (Yes Another thread)

[jdang307]

Yeah I know #5000 on the Porter threads. But this one is a good one. I can't post the whole blog entry (even though there are multiple blog entries on this page) it is one entire entry so I won't do that. I'll post the meat and potatoes though:

Like most 3-4 outside linebackers in the NFL, Porter was an active, undersized defensive end coming out of Colorado State. He was fine pass rusher immediately, but had to be taught the tricks of the linebacker trade. He continued to refine those skills very well. Since then, Porter has excelled and thrived as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He was physical, nasty and a fine pass rusher in his prime. But now, his linebacker skills may have actually surpassed his ability to rush the passer. He is very stout against the run and will give tight ends in the AFC East a hard time in the run game.

After this quote, they go on to say that Capers should be familiar with Porter from their days with the Steelers. Is this misconception going to ever die?

Are you suggesting Joey Porter didn't play for the Steelers when he was 15?

Maybe the Local High Steelers
