1. The college game is very different than the pro game. Just because he was able to do really well against college offensive linemen, doesn't mean he will have the same success as a pro. Furthermore, he is still a rookie.
2. That is a very bad mentality to have, in my opinion. Never make it "me vs. so and so player", it's always team vs. team. There was an instance in the past where Rex Ryan said he viewed a Pats/Jets game as Rex Ryan vs. Bill Belichick. Belichick said it's the Patriots vs. the Jets. When you make it me vs. you, you set yourself up to look foolish and you make yourself look selfish because it seems as though you are playing for yourself and trying to attract attention to yourself.
Overall, this is a non-story. I am a big fan of Dion Jordan though.
Dion Jordan is definitely acting foolish as all rookies do. Most fans of the Dolphins appreciate his confidence, yet we would prefer a little bit more wisdom.
He did beat Joe Thomas for his first sack. As you know, Thomas is consider by many to be the best left tackle in the NFL. Jordan needs to learn many things about the NFL game, but I would not be so quick to discount his skills.
