But getting after the quarterback is fun. Taylor and Wake make the Dolphins that much more frightening.
"You have to respect it," Porter said. "You can't just bleed toward one guy who's having a good game. You can't just load everything toward me and leave Jason alone on the backside. Same vice-versa.
"If Jason is going off for two or three sacks in that game or Wake is having a good game, you have to play the defense honest. When you play the defense honest, it opens things up for everybody, not just me -- the middle linebackers, our safeties, our corner blitzes. Everybody's going to be opened up."
Porter is right though, if Wake and JT are as advertised, and Starks and Dotson can show up, as well as Roth, we could have a really good pass rush this year.
Can't double team everyone, but how to get those three on the field at one time is the challenge, the way I could see that happening is JP or JT moving inside to ILB or they can alternate playing DE.

finsergNew MemberIm loving this,cant wait till the season starts.
padre31luxury_boxI've watched a couple of the games from last season and I've got admit, Joey Porter was amazing, adding other threats to JP will produce some results.
JP is what 32 or so? IMO he deserves a bit more credit for being a top pass rushing OLB.
he's right, we will likely have the tools ... it will come down to individual match-ups and opposing schemes that determine 'who' will have success each week. the key is you have to have more than 1 threat, which can be easily nulified with a good scheme ... and it at least looks like we will have that this year.
PhinsRockluxury_boxHe is right, if JT and Wake play anywhere near their past production, teams are going to have a really hard time against our pass rush. And Roth should improve in his second year at the position. He is 10 pounds lighter, much stronger, and has 17 games under his belt at the position. I imagine his sack production will increase this season as well.
Our pass rush should be very exciting to watch this season.

Am I the only one who gets a huge kick out of the 23rd's nicknames?

We "need" one more pass rusher, preferably a downlineman that way any part of the offensive line can be pressured by 2 guys, like bookends that makes for a nightmare for the Guards to decide where to go with double team on either side.
AquaBlitzforum_veteranThis pass rush is going to be lethal. I think Jason still has something left in the tank and has been re-energized coming back to Miami. Wake is going to show flashes here and there and will be a key contributor in 2010, and then we have the leader of our defense Joey Porter. You just have to say his name and you already know what he's about!
rafaelforum_veteranIMO the pass rush tools this team has gives us the potential to be special. And by special I mean have a NY Giants type SB season. That team had a lot of holes but their pass rush was so dominating (at the end of the season) that it propelled them to a World Championship.
I see that kind of potential in this year's Dolphins. Obviously, a lot has to go right for them to win it all but the pieces seem to be there for a dominating pass rush. I'm not prone to making predictions and I'm not making any SB prediction here, but I can say I wouldn't be surprised if this team ends up top 5 in sacks. And when a team puts that much pressure on the opposing team's QB anything can happen.
