    "What THE HELL IS GOIN ON OUT THERE!!!!!!"

    Y'all do realize we have, on our team, one of the premier defensive football players in the game..

    You want stats..PFF, who watches the tape, #2 overall, behind Mr.Watt..

    Eye test, freakish..thee most explosive athlete in the NFL...relentless...

    Body...perfect..complete.. symmetrical...balance.

    This dude is a star, he's ours, we need to accept that, and start putting his talents into perspective..

    Somebody needs to follow this dude around in the offseason and make a documentary about it.

    5 sacks boys and girls..4 more obvious holds, and numerous hits on the qb..

    Wonder if he has a tv yet..

    Did y'all see the Kracken release after his sacks..I LoVe when he does that..and you know damn well what I'm yelling when he does...

    Deej..had me going until the body thing.

    To me, he is the equal to Suggs.

    I'm not 100% but think he may have set the team record on Sunday.

    Worth every penny, hopefully he can teach the Baby Squid (Olivier Vernon) how to get after the Qb.

    Doubtful. Wake is a great player but also comes off as a very selfish player. He's been reported to take reps from other players in drills just because he wants to go again.

    Eh, perhaps, but he also gives Porter and JT lots of credit.

    I think I'll call Vernon Squidward

    Sounds fine too me... If you're a pro bowl caliber player, and you want reps to stay that way (which helps our team), then I'm OK with that.

    I'm honestly not fine with it. If anything he should be letting younger guys get EXTRA reps because they need them much more. An extra 50 practice reps in a week (made up number) does very little for a player the caliber of Wake at this point. However those same fifty practice reps are HUGE for younger players who don't get as many in game reps to develop.

    Where was that ever reported? To call him very selfish just sounds totally absurd to me.

    To clarify, it was reported that when practicing, if one of the other DEs in the line had his turn when Jake Long would come up, Wake would get him to move aside so he could take the reps with Long. He said he wanted to go against the best so he could improve the most he possibly could. Which is fine, but what about the other guys wanting to improve the most they possibly could too?

    I assume the other players still got their reps, just against other, lesser linemen.

    The mentality suggests what's on Wake's mind is making sure he gets the best practice possible for himself. He doesn't seem to have any concern about making sure the other guys get a chance to work with 'the best' aka Jake.

    I also remember him giving Solomon Wilcots a tour of the facility and mentioning he likes to cut in front of the younger players in the lunch line, because what are they gonna say'/do?

    I mean, in interviews he still seems like a nice guy, but I think he is less of a mentor type than a guy like, say, Reggie Bush or even Matt Moore.

    The title of the thread sounds like Cameron Wake just got out of jail and hems going after MILFS. lol
    I was rooting for him to break Derrick Tomas' record last sunday! He's so good that he will one day.
    We serious need to get video footage of everytime he gets held with no flag and flood Roger Goodel's email and see if we can resolve that problem.

    Maybe the other guys should prove they can regularly beat our other tackles in practice first? What good does it do for Wake to go against Martin or one of the backup tackles, when he can beat them like a drum nearly every time?

    We have one of the top 2 defensive players in the league, and people are concerned he maybe selfish??? I think I've heard everything now.

    Cameron Wake. Went to U Penn. PLayed IN the CFL. Now in Miami. Gets Sacks. Called the Kracken.

    Tony Soprano. Jersey Mob Boss. Pouring a Drink. In his house with Junior.

    You don;t see the connection?

    Me neither.

    I'm not concerned. But if someone asked whether Wake was likely to be a great mentor, I;d say maybe... hopefully.

    Sorry to dash your hopes, but I was serious. I've no clue what Tony Soprano, or James Gandolfini have to do with Cameron Wake.

    It was good to see Wake a have nice game getting to the QB. He should have a favorable matchup going against Andre Smith this week. I'm not predicting another 4.5/5 sack game, but 1.5 - 2.5 seems reasonable to me. I've got a feeling though that Andrew Whitworth will negate whoever is rushing opposite Wake.

    Speaking of pass-rushing, this game will be a litmus test for Jonathan Martin. Carlos Dunlap is a damn good player, and from what I've seen from the Bengals they operate with a RDE and LDE pretty strictly, so Dunlap will most likely be on Martin's side all day. Time to bring your A Game Mr. Martin.

    He's an elite pass rusher. If he wants extra reps give them to him. Its on the coaches to get the other guys more reps not him.

    Damn, so you think he's equal to the best in the game..that's high praise Pod, you know how I feel about Suggs ( best in game for the past 4 years)..

    I myself have to start putting him in that context...

    WHOAA!!!, Terrell Suggs was DPOY last year, that's a serious comparison doc.....even I have to take a step back and think about that one..

    It sure is awesome to think about, that this dude is now in the conversation.

    Tom Brady should be getting most of the reps, I don't see the comparison. I'm not downing Wake. I'm stating he doesn't come across as a teacher in any way shape or form to me.

    Next part isnt at you Alen.

    Also I think everyone needs to get off of Olivier Vernons back. He's a rookie who's been very stout against the run and needs to learn some pass rush moves to go with his athleticism. I had no idea his entire career was over four games into it.

    Generally, even the moderately successful DEs have some success in their rookie years, especially given the number of snaps Vernon is getting. There are at least flashes here and there from those guys.

    Vernon doesn't appear quick enough to ever be a successful 4-3 DE in this league. And he has yet to prove otherwise. Has he even hurried the QB yet? I haven't seen one flash from him to even consider the idea that this guy could be a good pass rusher

    I have, vs Az he did an arm over from the De position and dusted the Tackle but Kraken had already sacked Kolb.

    I know some folks are not thrilled with Vernon, but I see a body lean and some explosion from his first step,

    Right now, his problem is he has no "one" move that forces a Tackle to overplay that move, he has strong hands and a good first step but has not developed that speed/power/speed that a good passrusher has to summon at will, I think he will get there though.

    But this is just the opposite. How do our other tackles learn how to beat the best if they don't practice against the best? It has been a vvvvveeeeeerrrrrryyyyyy long time since I played tackle - probably before a number of you, or maybe your parents even, were born (though somebody would have been in trouble.) But, when I was a freshman tackle, I wanted to go up aginst our senior DE. All the time. And I got my butt whipped quite often. However, when you practice against the same level of opposition all the time, you don't improve. It's when you get tired of getting your helmet handed back to you by the guy that just whomped your butt that you begin to learn something about how to beat him. That happens a lot in practice. The other DEs on the team should be learning how to try to beat Long, and the other OTs should be trying to learn how to handle Wake. Not every rep, certainly, but enough to keep them either hungry, or show the coaches that they are not up to that challenge.

    Now I really hope Killerbees is a bald-spot mulleted, five foot one, three hundred pound dude in an undershirt who lives with his grandma.

    Because that visual is hilarious to me.
