"Either you got that type of passion for the game or you don't," Porter said. "When I was a player, it kind of worked easier because I could be out there in the fight. I can do all the 'rah, rah' stuff I want, but I'm still a coach. I don't have the opportunity to back up my words."
Yet it's not Porter's resume that is winning over his new charges.
"We fool ourselves every day as coaches when we wake up and think we still got it," Porter said.

"What better way to start off my coaching career than by having a legendary guy show me the ropes. I love my position, I love where I'm at, and I want to be here as long as I can."
That intensity has been on display regularly throughout training camp, most notably when the former linebacker was an animated mix of encouragement and admonishment as he tried to inspire his group during the 'backs on backers' drill.
Jones, a second-year linebacker, struggled during his rookie year with just one sack, six passes deflected and 42 tackles in 14 games. Worilds enjoyed a breakout fourth season with eight sacks, 54 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles in 15 games.
