DOLPHINS: Porter Problem

[Marvin]

Glad to see at least one other fan remembers Cox spelled his first name as Bryan and not Brian. Shame on any serious Phin fan for not knowing that. :) 

I suppose there was a former MLB named Zack and a former FB named Czonka too. LOL

Bryan Cox went to Chicago after Miami. Then the Jets.  Then he won a SB ring with New England in 2001 before retiring as a Saint in 2002.

Dave, 
That would be correct. It was Brian Cox. He also played at Chicago if my fading memory is correct. 


Regardless of whatever talent level Porter has or hasn't got, the bottom line is Tony is going to have to suspend this guy and fine him BIG TIME. 


Refusal to listen to the coach is insubordination - pure and simple. I fire people for this, and there's no state employment agency in the country who won't support a employer on this. If you're the captain of the ship and someone doesn't take a direct order... you make them pay. Tony knows this, and you KNOW TUNA KNOWS IT.

Since I didn't see the game, and only heard part of it, I'm a bit surprised by some of this. My memory is shot, but Porter sounds a lot like a former MLB of the Dolphins who had some talent but a really big mouth. Can't remember his name, but am I on track on this? IIRC he went to the Jets.

I'm curious to hear about this from those who know more than I do:  Would the Dolphins really miss Joey Porter? 



I ask because, while he is on a mad tear for sacks, does he do much else (besides jabber)? He strikes me as one-dimensional, but maybe that's just my lack of knowledge. 



I ask this in the same spirit of what the team lost when it parted with, say, Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. Taylor also was a sack machine, but he was lousy against the run. Thomas made lots of tackles, but they always seemed to come a few yards after initial contact and he was an average rusher and coverer. Getting rid of such highly one-dimensional players allows other more well-rounded players to contribute. (For example, Greg Camarillo might not be the greatest receiver in any one category, but he is above average in all of them.) 



Or is the fact that, like Taylor, teams have to account for Joey in their game planning (he was double-teamed most of yesterday) coupled with that distraction and redirection of resources what make him valuable? 



I might need Rick's asbestos suit after this, but I'm largely playing devil's advocate here.
