I don't think Taylor would be playing every down like Porter. I think he'd just be brought in in obvious passing situations. Then you could bring Taylor in and have him rush from anywhere you want basically. Taylor would be a liability trying to play the strong side against the run. But on passing downs I'm sure he could effectively rush from that side in place of Matt Roth whose strength is against the run. It seems to me you could insert Taylor in instead of Roth on passing downs.

I don't think his presence would hurt Porter at all. If anything it would help him. Taylor even at this age would likely command more attention and respect as a pass rusher than Matt Roth. It could put an end to all the double teams against Joey Porter.

 

the dynamics dont fit imo. would i accept it, sure, if JT said all the right things and i believed him, do i want it to happen...no, i've moved on with my young team.

 

You can never have enough pass rushers. To say no just because you're upset about some silly incident a year ago is nonsense. Have you spoken against Ricky being on the team? Because he's old and what he did to the Dolphins was MUCH MUCH worse. He's proven more than once he can flake out and bail on the team at any moment.

 

Ok, Porter is getting older as is JT. After 17.5 sacks last year, I don't think they'd move Porter other than to spell him so that he's fresher later in the games...I see JT taking the part time role, not Porter...

 

He isnt coming back...

 

tell that to armando

 

I can point at the sky and tell him its blue...He will still try to convince me that its burgundy.

 

I don't see adding another pass rusher as hurting Porter. I think it will only help Porter, late last seasons teams just focused on Porter. He play was lacking another threat.

I not even saying JT is coming back...just that Miami NEEDS another pass rusher badly.

 

The odds of Taylor being back in the a Dolphin's uni is very slim. I will be utterly shocked if we were to sign him.

 

Id rather bring in Wake to play those passing downs opposite Joey than bringing back Taylor.
We need to move on and continue to build a team with some youth. Taylor just doesnt fit those plans.

I dont see him coming back.

 

I don't personally know Ricky Williams or Jason Taylor but I'm willing to wager that those are two vastly diverse personalities. I won't, for a moment, be convinced that Jason Taylor- a former deity in this town- is going to find satisfaction being regulated to a back-up/situational pass-rushing role.

Remember that in this locker room, JT still has pull. IMO, it isn't prudent to bring back an aging, ailing, probably not going to come cheap veteran to a place where he can be as loud as he wants if necessary because he made himseelf a future hall of famer here.

I love JT and if I thought the pros of coming back to us outweighed the cons, that the addition of his talent relative to his age would get us to the big game, then all is forgiven. After all, the word grudge isn't or shouldn't be in the business dictionary. But is JT coming back to Miami good for business? I ardently do not believe so.

There is hidden young talent up and down this draft as there is in all of them. That is our future. That should be our business.

The culture cultivating in Davie will one day cut through diamond. We need youth that is going to buy in, stock up, and sell out for it.

 

I don't care if Porter wins or loses.

I care if the Dolphins win or lose. If signing JT helps the Dolphins win, then I'm all for it, even if it means Mr. Peezy only gets 12 sacks.

 

That's a good point in theory, but some might argue that when Porter did well this season, the Dolphins won.

 

I see what you are saying, but do consider that a healthy JT along with Wake, and Peezy would go along way to curing our passrushing woes from the LB corps, and with JT and Wake, either can play up or down on a passing down.

JT if he has anything left in the tank could also allow multiple formations were he could play ILB and still pass rush, something we are lacking and is the key to any good pass rush.

Someone explain to me why Joey Porter, who had 17.5 sacks in 2008, should ever again take a backseat to Jason Taylor?

 

Don't think he would 124, JT would more then likely play the strongside on passing downs or come in as a pass rushing specialist.

Besides, you'd better report to Jets Stadium, they are bundling souls to sell to Denver for Jay Cutler..:lol:

 

:lol:

I hope Taylor does return to Miami. I do. Because I love kicking his ***. He is cursed the Dolphins for as long as he is in a Dolphin uniform against the Jets with his mouthing off to our fans during the Monday Night Miracle.

 

i dont want anyone who doesnt want to bleed for us, no matter the circumstances, he took his stance last year and wanted to be traded to a contender, allegedly, he chose to leave the team during a critical time for the franchise for exposure purposes that had nothing to do with the improvement of our team...since when does a 10 million dollar salary become compensation for half the year. the audacity to not change your plan for your team was a mistake imo {dont care if he was committed to the show or not...

If he respects the code, then i would love for him to come home, just out of pure homerism. i do have the ability to forgive a true dolphin, just like i did with ricky.

 

I don't care if we field 53 non bleeding orange and aqua players if it helps the Dolphins win! I'm not married to anyone on the team.

Dedicated Dolphin players are great and a feel good story and all that, but you think Dallas fans cared when they signed Deion Sanders and won some superbowls? I think not.

 

He would be joining a football team, not the Marine Corps. You're going a bit overboard here and also conveniently forgetting ten years of stellar service and performance. The guy didn't miss a start for ten years playing defensive end. That apparently means nothing. Definitely no pain involved in playing that long on defense without stopping. As I've said, I'd like to see someone anywhere who has never done anything for themselves at one time or another. I think there's a good chance JT realizes he should have stayed.
