Joey Porter called it

Joey has EARNED the right to speak. I agree. This week the only talking he should have done was his stellar performance on the field.

I really do hope this is a sign of things to come from him. He showed up nicely in this game and it was great to see. If he can lead this defense this season can turn out pretty good.

No offense, but I'm curious what the guarantee/win ratio actually is.

With all of the yapping that he does, he was bound to get a hit sooner or later.

I would prefer he played like he played without the talking, i think he did it for the right reasons, i think he did it to get us out of a bad rhythm, he took resposibility for the team and a huge risk...he delivered and is now the unquestioned leader...exactly what he wanted and exactly the position he prides himself in being in. He needs tp be the leader to play his game at the highest level.

Now i wish he can do it without talkin before the game.

No offense but I personally don't care too much about the ratio. It shows me he cares. He wants to win badly. He's about the only person on this team that knows how to win really. He cares enough to open his mouth (yes I know it rubs some the wrong way) and you can tell he cares enough when he doesn't win that it hurts him deeply.

That's all fine with me. You know how TV shows some players laughing and giggling or joking around when their team is losing? Can you imagine Joey doing that? Id' think hed want to kick his dogs if he's losing (not literally, figuratively!)

Just saw his post game with wendy nix......damn it joey...he had a chance to be humble and did'nt.....he said 'I was just stating the facts, he is'nt tom brady and today he came out and proved it'

You guys may not think much but it rubbed me the wrong way...he could of praised the defense, stupid...karma is a mother fuc@#r

He put his money where his mouth is, finally.

Have you ever read the book "The boy who cried Wolf"?

Might want to check it out, lots of life's lessons in there :up:

Joey backed it up - plain and simple. This is what I expected out of him last season. The best thing about this win was the way we dominated on both sides of the ball. Everyone is talking about it up here. Heck, the guy across from me is a Jets fan. I've lived in this house almost 3 years and he's never done anything but glare at me. Yesterday, when I got home from the Sports Zone he was on his front step and he looked at me, got up and actually walked across the street to my house, shook my hand and said "incredible game by Miami. Congrats." What a great day to be a Dolphin fan up here in the beautiful Northeast.

Would you still feel the same way if Porter played on the Pats and the results yesterday were different? What if Rodney Harrison was the one talking the week leading up to the game and guaranteeing a Pats win? I don't doubt that a guy like Harrison wants to win badly too, but would his words be seen as a passionate player who just wants to win or would it be seen as a big mouth running his yap?

When we signed Joey I was pumped that we would finally have an emotional leader, someone to give the team a boost in the locker room and out on the field. But he's made these predictions before and has made disparaging comments about other players (Winslow) and that isn't what a leader does IMO, that's what loudmouth does.

As a leader, I expect a player to hold himself to a certain standard and stay away from personal insults. IMO Joey is just a yapper, he's a blind squirrel who finally found a nut. :wink2:

I agree with Randy Moss when he said "Joey was just being Joey." Kinda like Manny being Manny. I got a kick when I just heard the announcers of the game say "If Joey Porter got paid by the word, he'd be a very wealthy man." Funny stuff.

I don't think that comment was directed at Matt Cassel. It was directed at the media, who took his honest but basically meaningless comment before the game, and turned it into Joey 'guaranteeing' a victory against the Patriots... which he absolutely did not do.

If I were Porter, I'd be pissed at the media... and I'd defend myself. That's the way I see it, anyhow.

Yeah, but Manny is a totally self-absorbed psycho. :wink2:

I don't let other teams get to me, so no I wouldn't feel different. When he was with Pittsburgh I didn't bat an eye.

That stuff doesn't bother me. Celebrations in the EZ don't either. His predictions isn't reckless or absurd. He's not sending a bottle of tums to the other locker room. he's putting it out there for his teammates.

I still really don't get this uproar. His talking at this point should be a sidenote. he's been talking forever. It should be a one post thread really, not even a thread, more like a footnote to another thread that says, "oh btw. Joey talked yet again today" :yes:

He's disparaged players before, not sure why you didn't expect that when he got here. He is what he is, and he isn't going to change. I can't hate him for being passionate. At the end of the day, all we can really hope from each player is that they give it their all, and I have no doubt Joey would give anything but that.

But that's me. Different strokes brudda, different strokes! :knucks:

Well you're in the minority, I've seen fans from pretty much every team in the 4 major sports get upset when a rival player says/does the exact same thing they cheer their players for. I don't understand the 2 sets of rules that some fans have, one for the home team and one for the opposition. I think all players should be held accontable for their actions/words equally. :confused:

I didn't really pay much attention to Joey Porter's mouth when he was in Pitt, I was more interested in his play. I saw the same youtube clip that we all saw of him getting his teammates pumped in the locker room and figured that he was the type of vocal leader that this team needed, then I heard the crap that he's been saying for over a year and realized that he's a watered down version of a Chad Johnson or Terrell Owens. I should have listened to my brother (Steelers fan) but I figured he was just suffering from a severe case of sour grapes, now I know better. :wink2:

But that's me. Different strokes brudda, different strokes! :knucks:

Agreed, regardless of our opinion on this, we all still want one thing....

....A Miami Dolphins win each week. :hi5:

Aha maybe that's why. He's been doing this for years. I just laugh at those things more than get mad. about the only thing that got to me was maybe Welker mouthing off about wishing he was on the other side while playing for us. Stuff that disprespects your teammates, that's what gets me worked up. Other than that, meh, 53 players on the team you're going to get many different personalities. :D

i agree with these comments 100%. i was one of the more critical people of joey's mouth all last week, and i'll have to eat my shoe about him producing.

but he only did it this time. this is the first time he's produced after yapping all week while a member of the dolphins. as others have said, i wish he'd produce without mouthing to the media all the time. plenty of people play GOOD football without being loud about it.

as L2G said, even a blind squirrel finds a nut! i'm VERY happy that Porter had such a great game, but he's been loud for a long time, this is the first time i've seen him produce for us, really.

I hope to see more of this production from him, less of the yapping.

Thanks to beemerdaddy for this.
Miami Dolphins 2008 Salary Cap Version 1.0

Porter Joey $4,800,000 $2,400,000 $7,600,000 $14,800,000

Yes he had a good game but how much is it going to cost us per sack this year for Joey?

Is that this year and the last 3? Seems like he's going to be cut after next year for sure, or at least the year after.

For 2008 brother.:wink2:

i'm predicting he gets cut after this year. no team will be willing to pay that amount for his 2009 salary, so a trade would be out. and i *doubt* he'll take a pay cut.

enjoy your year with porter, this will probably be his last here.

Did anyone besides me think that Joey Porter getting flagged for un-necessary roughness on Cassell was total joke? Are they going to start putting dresses on the QB's. Joey didn't hit him late....he wrapped Cassell up and took him to the ground. Nothing dirty about it. :pity:

well two things.

1) it wasn't Porter, it was Holliday.

2) it was completely illegal. driving a player (regardless of position) into the ground is against the rules. the fact that they called it "roughing the passer" as opposed to "unnecessary roughness" is immaterial, both penalties have the same outcome.
