Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

But on Sunday against the Chiefs, Porter was invisible. He was not a factor in the Dolphins defensive effort. In fact, in the post-game press box stats for the Miami defense, Porter did not appear. No tackles, no assists, no sacks, no quarterback hurries, no pressures. Porter was a non-factor.

He tried both sides of the Chiefs offensive line, going against rookie left tackle Branden Albert and veteran right tackle Damion McIntosh. Several times he lined up so wide that the running back had to take care of his rush, something both Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles did without problems.

well, yes, but

who won?

Its ok to fixate on these individual matchups when you win.

When you don’t….its kind of like the last act of defiance….

The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.

When you're a rebuilding 2 win team...

and your offensive line was your biggest weakness coming in to the season, with a feature back who was supposed to be terrible in pass-blocking… Then yeah, it’s something to note when you completely erase the league’s leading pass-rusher.

unless you end up unlocking

the rest of the defense….

Umm...we gave up 3 sacks

That’s not really that bad when you’re going up against Miami. Especially when at least 1 of those was a running play by Thigpen that just got caught behind the line. The only other one I can remember was the bootleg, which wasn’t really terrible blocking just a play they saw coming. They’ve got 40 on the year.

I may be in the minority

but I think it’s ok to highlight this as an accomplishment. I didn’t get to see the game, but I caught myself looking at the def stats to see how Porter did after the game. I was a bit surprised. Like it was said before, we need to see some positives to help with next years development, even if we do not win.

We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

Agreed

And we did total up 500 yards of offense against a defense that hadn’t give up a TD in three weeks. That’s something.
