Wake: "I am the best 4-3 defensive end".

Than get more sacks than the other guys.

 

There's a lot more to it than just getting sacks.

 

Yup.

 

This.

Wake right now might very well be exactly what he claims, the best 4-3 DE in the NFL. Though that's a bit of a caveat, since his competition at the spot all play 3-4 DE: JJ Watt and Justin Smith, that is. Jason Pierre-Paul would probably be Wake's closest competition at the actual 4-3 DE position, but I don't think he's as good as Wake.

 

I'll eat my hat if these selections were made entirely by 'their peers'....

 

Wake sucks! He's a fmr CFLer and can't play in the NFL!

 

He's right

 

Can someone post that pic, pure Kracken bout to happen.?

He sure as hell isn't underrated by us, he's the perfect defensive football player, not just on the field, but how he trains for his craft..If he takes the supreme talent of Dion Jordan under his wing, the NFL better watch the fu&$ out for the next 5 years.

 

He's worth the price of admission,

I really like that PFF site..I mean why would folks look at metrics and stats over something like PFF analysis..Sound silly.

 

Lol, I had no clue about that stuff when we were calling him it 3 years ago when clash of the titans came out..cool commercials.

 

Thing looks like a cancerous testicle.

 

No you got that wrong, its the CFL that sucks

 

Obviously there's more to it than getting sacks, that goes without saying. Try not to automatically get defensive and see my point here. I just want/expect more of them. Call me stupid or what you want for saying that. Unfortunatley it seems most are content labeling him perfect, or#1, as apposed to raising expectations, hoping he can get even better. Homers.


Also, maybe it's time we drop the lousy nicknames, like Kraken. Wasn't Matt Roth "Maximus" ? Some of us watch too many movies. The guys name is C.Wake ( like earthquake, it's right there for you ) yet we have to call him by the name of some giant squid from a movie ?

 

FTR, Wake isn't saying he's the best. He's saying PFF says he's the best.

 

Who stole Pads account?

 

Maximus...lol..wrong..

RELEASE THE KRACKEN!!!!

Best pass rusher in the game, completely dedicated to his craft, clean off the field, plays the run stoutly...underpaid and doesn't complain...perfect.

 

If there was an NFL Top 100 in Defensive players getting held he wouldnt be at #89. Just sayin ;-)

 

Last year Wake would consistently get pressure on the opposing QB and collapse the pocket even if he didn't get a sack. If we had ANYBODY providing even a semi-competent pass rush from the opposite side, this defense would have had tons more sacks last year. Wake set his teammates up so often, but nobody was ever there to finish the job.

1 man can only do so much.

 

I've been saying it, flush and finish.
