DOLPHINS: Porter Problem

I keep thinking it's Czonka but I've never written Zack

Bryan Cox may have been hotheaded but I don't know that he ever defied
Shu over when to come out of a game.

I think Porter should get a game without pay but not be suspended. As
far as him not being a great player or overrated - I think part of
what he brings is the attitude - the attitude we've never had since
Jimmy retired and that has value.
