Blossoming pass rusher Cameron Wake is ready for a bigger role. Whether Coach Tony Sparano has limited Wake's snaps because of his shortcomings as a run stopper or as a sign of respect to future Hall of Fame pass rushers Jason Taylor and Joey Porter is not fully known. What is certain is that nearly every time Wake has been given opportunities, he has made an impact.

Last week Wake, while in the lineup for Taylor, bull-rushed Patriots right tackle Nick Kaczur and grabbed Tom Brady's legs with his long right arm. As Wake was dragging Brady to the ground the Pro Bowl quarterback panicked and fired a pass right at Dolphins middle linebacker Channing Crowder, who snared the first interception of his five-year career to secure Miami's 22-21 victory.

Wake, lured from the British Columbia Lions with a four-year deal worth up to $4.9 million, dominated the CFL the past two seasons with a combined 39 sacks, eight forced fumbles and two blocked field goals to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors in both seasons.

We need Cameron Wake to have a big impact in this game. I would like to see him be let loose on David Garrard. I believe he will be a big factor in us winning that game defensively.

Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:

My only concern is his inability to defend the run. In order for him to have a good game, I think Miami needs to get out to a good lead early to force Jacksonville to throw the ball. I think only then, Wake will be able to pin his ears back on Garrard.
