Capers: Porter's 2006 Was Due To Injury

"One of the hardest positions to find in our defense is a player at the outside linebacker position who has the ability to do both things ? rush the passer effectively and be able to drop into coverage," Capers said. "He's been asked to do that throughout his career.

"We feel that he certainly will be a good complement to Jason Taylor on the other side. I think as you look at the upper-echelon defensive teams around the league, most of them have two guys who can rush.

"Any place on the field you've got to be passionate and emotional. He'll bring passion and emotion along with his ability to make plays. We welcome it." [READ]
