Joey had better live up to that ridiculous contract.

ditto....I think he has 3 years of solid play left....MAYBE 1 more Pro-Bowl season....but for the most part,he better bring mroe to the table than last year...regardless of how he is lined up...if your a great player,you can adjust and play at the same level your used too...
dear PF, in a 4-3 Porter isnt the "Sam" linebacker, hes the "Will"
Actually, PFW is correct, Joey Porter is the Sam Linebacker. Jason Taylor/Charlie Anderson is the Will.
dont forget, most of Porters production came after the Pitt game and during the second half of the season, the reason being he was being used completely wrong the first half of the season. We could all see that just by watching the games. If Porter plays the whole season like he did in the second half of the season, he'll be a force to be reckoned with and will be the former pro bowler we all hoped we would be getting
I dont know whos playing what this year, but I am pretty certain last year Porter played the will and crowder was the sam
According to the Miami Herald, Porter was playing SAM at today's practice.
I dont think he has ever played Sam linebacker, even in his days with Pitt he was the Will... I hope he responds. Where did they put Crowder? Inside?
Ayodele and Torbor are playing inside right now in these mini camps. Crowder is still being held out with his injury, but he is slated to start as an Inside Linebacker.
I guess it would make more sense to put JT at Will since he would be the best pass rusher out of the group (If JT is a fin this year) and maybe thats why they are putting Porter at Sam. But if JT doesnt come back I hope we dont missuse Porter. He is the best pass rushing linebacker we have. He is out of position at Sam

It's hard to bring anything to the table when you are playing out of position or not playing to your strengths.
right on! both of these guys last year weren't used right.jason goes from mvp ,being moved all over the place.to being stuck in one spot,and chipped by a te or rb.basically game planned for.with both of these guys attacking the edge hard,or on blitz's.i just dont see how we cant get to the qb.we will see what good coaching can do,or at least a different style.

With a real DC it should be night and day from last year for our D. Capers was a total joke last year, game plans sucked and he never made adjustments to compensate for our weaknesses.
