Porter, 32, was going to be hard-pressed to duplicate his his career year (17 1/2 sacks in 2008) even before his hamstring injury.
But the Dolphins don’t need Porter to be Superman again. He has Jason Taylor and a host of young pass-rushers (Cam Wake, Phillip Merling, Kendall Langford) to help pressure the QB.
Porter does need to get back into the mix to give Miami the pass rush it needs. An inconsistent pass rush has contributed to an AFC-high 8.4 yards an attempt and 14.1 yards a completion vs. Miami.
Six of the team’s 12 sacks were in one game, a rout of the Bills, but the Dolphins also have faced some of the league’s best QBs.
