Cameron wake gives him the chance. Man can't be stopped!

 

It was definitely nice to mention his name in a game thread.

 

You might be eating crow but this is the good kind of crow to eat.

 

Excellent crow to eat. Does that mean you are liking our GM more????

 

Wake almost defies the laws of physics when he bends the arc.

 

With any player from the Randy Shannon era, the upside is always going to be more than what they showed in college. Also, most likely it's going to take a little bit of time. Vernon has gotten better every week IMO. And this looks like yet another in the growing list of check marks for Jeff Ireland.

 

Vernon had a good game but looking who he went against tempers my enthusiasm some. Wayne Hunter and Barry Richardson are one of the worst tackle tandems right now in the NFL I would assume. That being said, I'm glad Vernon did well and I hope it continues.

 

That one sack he had where he was basically on the ground and jumped up and sacked Bradford.....wow

 

Vernon is supposed to be one of the worst

 

Pass rushers generally take a little time to develop as well. JT only had 5 sacks as a rook. This kid is SOLID and plays with a high motor. This is turning out to be a great draft for us.

 

The kid's effort was literally the difference in this game.

 

Remember when Ray Edwards was a coveted FA because he lined up on the same line as Jared Allen?

 

Basically that Jared Allen made Ray Edwards while hoping you don't realize he now lines up across from John Abraham I guess?

 

Proof

If
Ray Edwards > Olivier Vernon

And
Jared Allen + Ray Edwards = Cameron Wake + Olivier Vernon

Then
Cameron Wake > All

 

fixed that for you

 

A new season starts next week in the AFC East.

 

Pretty productive for a 21 year old :) I also LOVED the play where he made that tackle , that was one thing stood out for me when I watched him in college , he made plays around the line of scrimmage. For 2 or 3 yards as opposed to letting the ball carrier get 5 or 7 ... That is something some players have and others don't , he has had a good start to his career and I really like his upside , he may not fit into an easy definition , but I look at him and see a "football player" .

 

Remember when I said I still liked Vernon in that thread? Now you see part of the reason why. The fact that the rams tackles are somewhere between the pro level and college level concerns me but at least we can kick the tail of crappy Tackles.
