I'm utterly confused on the Tracy Porter point, but I'm probably going to side with Aso on this one.
ESPN ranked him as one of their better corners on their Insider rankings page- I think he was graded out as a "B" by Bill Polian, which put him in the top 10 for available corners. Meanwhile, CBS doesn't have Porter in their top 20 for FA CB's and ProFootballFocus, a paid advanced statistic website, ranked him 106 out of 110 for full-time corners in their coverage rating.
PFF did mention that Porter lead all CBs with stops in the running game with 14, so he isn't afraid to tackle and be physical. With the Hatcher signing and bringing Orakpo back, they are doing what I thought. The goal of the defense is to apply pressure and force plays, with the secondary being physical off the line trying to throw receivers off their routes, and being able to blitz from any position on the field.
