The official line is that Porter is out because of "coach's decision." dont know what happened but something clearly happened.... http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2009/11/dolphins-downgrade-joey-porter-to-out.html
Well, let's see... He's not 100% and he can't back up his talk with his play. I think that's enough to warrant a "coach's decision." Heal up and then come back, Joey.
Yeah,I agree with this decision Porter needs a chance to rest and heal his injury. I expect we will see more Wake on passing plays and Roth on running plays tomorrow.
If Wake is the answer we will find out Sunday.Let's hope he takes advantage of his opportuniy and makes some plays.
I like Wake. 1) Wake is great off the edge 2) But Wake is far better with his hand on the ground ads a DE, meaning he cannot take over all of Porter's WOLB duties. We will see a bit more of Wake on 3rd and long though. 3) Wake can get caught up inside on runs, or screens. Look for some stuff to be run wide or misdirection to Wake's side on 3rd and 8's if he starts as our 3rd down DE.
Call me crazy but 1. Sparano gets pissed at the team and bans Dominoes 2. Porter gets deactivated 2 days later What if Porter got deactivated for starting a Dominoes game Any chance of this??
considering how poorly our offense has played since benching Ginn lets hope the benching of porter doesnt mirror those results for our defense
You really need to accept the fact that you wasted the money on that Ginn jersey and find some peace..
Spoke to Sparano and Ireland earlier this evening. Asked each of them straight up about the situation. Neither of them would elaborate. Sparano said these things are kept strictly in house. But it is NOT due to injury. "Coach's decision" is all they'll say.
Believe me were not missing Ginn at WR one bit,We just dont have anyone to throw to that would be a threat.
Thanks MUCK sounds like someone finally is sending a message to the entire team. No matter what your pay scale or position you can and will be benched and or traded.. I like the move. Though you may loose the player for good..
the fact that Roth is now in his 3d game, JT can slide back over to WOLB (where he is better off) ... allows them to give JP a week or 2 off. it also allows them to get Wake more snaps, either for Roth (most likely) or JT on passing downs. Just saw that Fasano is out ... guess that explains the activation of Sperry from the PS ... we needed a 2d TE.
