pretty impressive comparison there, we can only hope wake has this great of a future

 

OK we get it you like the guy.

 

Good description. I like that.

 

I like Charlie Anderson too.

 

Cam Wake has some freakish athletic ability. IF, if he turns in to a better James Harrison and we can find some ILB to compliment him, we will start to take the look fo a championship 3-4 defense. But thats a long ways away and there is plenty of work to be done...those days cant get here soon enough though :)

 

Anyone notice how during the Colts game a couple weeks ago that Jaworski was TOTALLY dissing the Wildcat and Miami? I used to like Jaws.....but after listening to him try and trash Miami, I don't really have much respect for him anymore. He came off as really arrogant to me.

 

He's a QB, why would he like it. It would have taken snaps out of his hands when he was with Philly.

I honestly think they have to have some sort of for and against in regards to all sorts of topics on MNF. How else do you fill 3.5 hours of commentating if everyone agrees.

 

I'm just so sick of people calling it a gimmick. Like.....does anyone have any REAL thoughts on it? It seems really easy to just dismiss it and call it a gimmick and say that it "won't last". They had Fran Tarkenton on yesterday and he was asked about the Wildcat. His response was......"Well, it's a gimmick offense and it's not going to last."

 

my money says the guys that are getting their teeth kicked in by our power "gimmick" ain't callin' it a gimmick..

and I bet they all wish it WOULD go away...

 

C'mon,Padre. Hit the thank you button for frumundah. :pity:

 

I have a feeling it is more of a why can't Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams just go away.

 

You'll get your fill of Wilcat loving commentators on Monday with Gruden in the booth. That dude is so excited about the Wildcat that it's actually pretty obnoxious.

 

Gruden loves him some David Lee. The one man he cannot reach.

 

He did pick Miami to win that game on PTI so he can't hate the Dolphins that much.

 

told you about Wake when he was but a discussion
the Triad of Terror will be the scourge of the NFL

 

he didnt say much after the wildcat dominated the Colts, and then Gruden wouldnt stop orgasming over it.

 

I dont know why, but i loved that comparison :lol::up:

 

He has to continue , of course not at 3 sacks per , but pressure , be consistent , make plays .... but nice when you are right isn't it? One wonders when someone has seen a player live several times and on tv in best league by far besides the NFL and there was such doubt. Also I was told by a current CFL star , former NFL player what he would bring to the table. I guess a few of us were right

 

Don't know if they are that far away , we need an ILB and that almost assuredly will be addressed twice this off season. While we don't know how Wake will be in all areas of the game I have little ( if any ) doubt that he will be continue to be a MAJOR disruptive force , he has the innate physical skills , the focus , the coaching , mentorship to continue to create havoc. He has the hunger AND the pure , rare physical ability enhanced by that needed desire to be as good as one can be. Formula for success.

 

Well, we do need ILBs, and seeing this regimes drafting strategy, double drafting, its almost a given that we will have some fresh bodies in camp next year.

Agree with that 100%
Id like to add that he is extremely humble, he truly appreciates the opportunity in NFL and he looks to make the most of it.

 

Agreed , sometimes when you don't have things flow easily it makes you both appreciate and realize how much you want it...I don't see him fall into the trap of NFL star , he has been a man on a mission since he signed.Tunnel vision , you think he will let some success stop his quest?

Nah ... neither do I.

 

I'd be really interested to see what this defense would be like if you had Rolando McClain inside with Crowder taking over Ayodele's spot and Wake on the weakside with Roth/Taylor/someone else on the strong side. All this assuming the FO thinks like me and Joey Porter isn't a Dolphin in 2010.

 

You'd have two ILB's that aren't great cover guys IMO. McClain can drop down the middle of the field but when I watch him, I see stiffness in his hips when changing directions (makes you wonder if this is one of the reasons Saban plays so much pattern reading defenses and has McClain in the robber role, just dropping down the pipe with the centerfield safety over him). That worries me because we already have Crowder trailing the pass target often in pass coverage. If Michigan's Obi Ezeh knew how to play the run, he'd be a quality ILB IMO. He's very good covering from what I've seen.

 

We need Crowder to play like he talks.

 

I had a nightmare last night that Wake got cut. It was awful :sad:

 

Ok, Jaws has never liked the WC, from the beginning. He's always called it a gimmick, but remember he was a QB (and I might add, a pretty good one), so any formation that takes the ball out of the QBs hand is going to be a bad formation from his POV...

That aside, he's one of if not the best analyzer out there...he's can break down plays, pretty accurately, in real time something that takes the years of film study he's done to be able to do...

The combination of Jaws and Gruden is the best crew we've had the pleasure of listening to in years....Gruden brings an enthusiasm that has been missing in most booths, and Jaws brings that technical aspect of being able to explain how a play transpired and the Tirico knows how to stay out of it...I love that booth myself...

 

Man, do we miss the healthy Zach Thomas we had for so many years...It's amazing how Crowder, a lot like Wilson has been, is just a split second late making plays and getting to where the play is that needs to be made...We never had that issue with ZT....

 

2 Winnipeggers on the same board:up:

 

won't matter this week, but the OLB rotation will be determined by Roth during the bye ... i still maintain that Roth if healthy and improved (speed) ... will supplant JT as the starting SOLB ... and we will have a full rotation of Wake, JT and JP between standard and nickel formations. JT will be our primary cover guy ... JP, JT and Wake will be our primary pass rushers ...

 

Nonstop?
