Joey Porter talks trash? Really?

DAVIE, Fla. -- Grab a thumbtack, Patriots Nation.

Miami Dolphins OLB Joey Porter has some bulletin-board material for you.

Porter, who has a stellar track record for throwing verbal salvos at the opposition, fired some jabs Wednesday at New England Patriots QB Matt Cassel.

"I just know he's not a Tom Brady," Porter said. "So if it's not Tom Brady, it shouldn't be that hard."

The Patriots have won 21 straight regular-season games. The Dolphins have lost 20 of their past 21 games. The Patriots destroyed the Dolphins last year by a combined score of 77-35.

Yet Porter said "It'll be good to go out there and get our first victory."

Porter announced the Dolphins defense is going to come after Cassel.

"You treat him like you treat a backup," Porter said. "How do you prepare for a backup? He don't get that many snaps, right? So you throw the kitchen sink at him. That's what we're going to do."

Cassel became the Patriots' starting quarterback in Week 1, when Tom Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury. Cassel came off the sideline and beat the Kansas City Chiefs. He started last Sunday's victory over the New York Jets. The last time Cassel had started at QB was as a high school senior in 1999.

"He's a guy we'll prepare for, but that was his first start since high school," Porter said. "So you can take all the reps you want to. This is a totally different game, a totally different league. He's only had one start in the NFL. Take that for what it's worth. He won it, but if you compare him to Brady, there's no comparison.

"You can say whatever you want to put with it. Those are just the facts. That's what it is. It means what it means."

As for defending against the same targets Brady enjoyed (Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney and maybe Ben Watson), Porter said: "The receivers are still going to be the same receivers. But they can't get the ball like they were used to getting it when Brady was there."

While there's an NFL tradition to publicly bemoan the loss of an opposing starter and talk about wanting to go up against the best players each week, Porter said he won't turn down victories against second-stringers.

"I want to win the game," Porter said. "It doesn't matter who they have back there, throwing the ball, running the ball. ... We'll take a victory around here any way you can get it.

"I'm not going to be mad because [Brady] ain't out there and we get the backup. If we get a victory for the rest of the season against all backups, I'll take 14 wins against 14 backups and feel good about it."

I love Joey Porter.

Joey Porter might say some soooo stupid stuff, everything he said was fine and true. I just wish he didn't call for a victory...
Because I can almost bet he'll back up the whole COMING AFTER CASSEL part, but the WIN OVER THE PATRIOTS part I do not know about...

MesaRunner · 09-18-2008, 04:03 AM

He didn't really say anything bad...

Canadian Speed · 09-18-2008, 06:50 AM

Consider the source of the complaint

That being said, it's a part of the game and Joey's game in particular... If you can't take flack and verbal bashing, get the hell out of the league... I doubt that the talk will have much effect given that all of these guys have come up through the ranks and heard it all, but apparently Joey has a nack, as Sapp did, for pissin' people off... I'm surprised people haven't already done some seriously insulting stuff to him already this season... Like the dog pee sack thing or the like... Even if you get a penalty, that kind of thing can deflate a guy right fast...

Will they Dolphins win this one? Not bloody likely! However, I'm a Steelers fan and I love Joey. He knows what he's doing with this particular bit of taunting. He's firing up his team. Joey always goes after it with all he's got all the time. He said nothing disrespectful (this time).

Go get 'em Joey!

Kaeotik · 09-20-2008, 08:43 AM

I liked the way Porter talked trash back in the day. However imo Porter is just an injury riddled shell of his former self. A washed up player on a horrible team. He should probably just shut his trap now.

K2 4MVP22 · 09-21-2008, 07:30 PM

Porter backed up his mouth today, 3 sacks 5 tackles 1 assist 1 forced fumble.

Ron Burgundy · 09-21-2008, 08:30 PM

Great game for the Dolphins today, they looked scary fast. They could be a good team in the few years.

nugget maxwell · 09-21-2008, 08:31 PM

See you people have it wrong, sometimes a player doesn't always just lose skill... sometimes they are just on teams that don't allow them to show off their skills.
That being Joey Porter with the Dolphins.
Now is Porter as good as was in his prime? Not even close, but he is still an average to above average linebacker

Agreed.

HE brought it to the Pats this weekend... Very impressive to say the least!

Porter does have a big mouth, but in this case he was right and he backed it up.
