PORTER DISSES CASSEL
Posted by Mike Florio on September 17, 2008, 5:25 p.m. EDT
Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter has been quiet lately. (Then again, a 1-15 record in 2007 and a V.P. of football operations who’s happy to break his foot off in your *** tends to pipe a guy down.)
But Porter is talking, as the Dolphins plan to play the Patriots. Specifically, Porter is talking about New England quarterback Matt Cassel.
“I just know he’s not a Tom Brady,” Porter said, according to Tim Graham of ESPN.com. “So if it’s not Tom Brady, it shouldn’t be that hard.” [Editor’s note: That’s what she said.]
So how hard won’t it be? Not hard enough to deliver the first win of the season for the Fins, per Porter.
“It’ll be good to go out there and get our first victory,” Porter said.
And what should Cassel expect from Porter and his teammates?
“You treat him like you treat a backup,” Porter said. “How do you prepare for a backup? He don’t get that many snaps, right? So you throw the kitchen sink at him. That’s what we’re going to do.”
Porter also isn’t impressed that Cassel is 1-0 as a starter.
“He’s only had one start in the NFL. Take that for what it’s worth. He won it, but if you compare him to Brady, there’s no comparison.”
But, Joey, here’s the deal. Cassel and the Patriots beat the team in Week Two that beat your team in Week One. So maybe, even without Brady, the Pats are still pretty good.
Or maybe the Dolphins are still pretty bad.
