Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
As usual, Joey Porter's done a lot of talking this season. But unlike past seasons, when Porter's been able to back up his mouth with production on the field, the Miami linebacker hasn't produced many results.Porter has just 12 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks -- one year after recording a career-high 17 1/2 sacks -- and Dolphins coach Tony Sparano has opted to bench Porter for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Porter declined to talk to the media this week, a vast change in approach for one of the NFL's most vocal players. Just last week, Porter called the Patriots cheaters in reference to the Spygate scandal, and said that Tom Brady received preferential treatment from referees. The Dolphins then lost to New England, 27-17, with Porter recording no tackles.
Despite that, Sparano had only good things to say about Porter's approach following Miami's practice Friday.
"I see no frustration," Sparano said, according to the Associated Press. "What I do see is a guy that's played in enough football games to know, 'There are some things I need to do better out there.' There are a lot of things that people say about Joey that are not always favorable, but one of the good things about Joey is the guy's a pretty good pro. He takes it personally. The guy cares."
Porter played every game in his first two seasons with Miami after coming over from Pittsburgh following the 2006 campaign. He sat out Miami's Oct. 4 game against Buffalo with a sore hamstring, and that injury has lingered all season.
Charlie Anderson is the prime candidate to replace Porter in the starting lineup, though former CFL star Cameron Wake could also get his first shot to start.
