8. Cameron Wake, LB, Miami Dolphins
Wake is a flat-out, quick-twitch guy off the ball. He may have quickest start of any pass-rusher in the league. He'll get in that jet takeoff stance, and his get-off is as good as it gets. That inspires trepidation in the quarterback and the linemen because your first step needs to be very good and precise. Stumble, and you won't have time to recover. Wake has really flourished as he's been given more playing time, and with 6.5 sacks already, you could make a good argument that he's just as good an early candidate for defensive player of the year as Watt."
When is this dude gonna get his fame...His story is a script..Somebody should film an offseason documentary on Cam Wake..The training..The science..The focus..
Does anyone have that sack I keep hearing about, he supposedly went parralel, 3 feet off the ground, and still got it...I missed it.

he's a beast and I love him but right now I'd still vote for J.J. Watt. That guy is just singlehandedly changing games on a weekly basis.

Had to laugh at one so called dolphins "expert" who was sure Kraken could not make the move to fulltime De.
I love watching his game, he bends the edge like a racing motor cycle going into a curve.smahtaz likes this. -
JT Another great Dolphin DE who will probably be in the HOF said something to the effect that if you thought JT was good wait until Wake developed A very humble statement from a guy who knows what he is talking about.:yes:

I wish I got paid to use my eyes like the expert who wrote this piece. That'd be awesome. You know what else is awesome? Wake's "bubble"...

On that play, he was the Brandon Lloyd of Defensive linemen.

JT was quick, but he had that leverage advantage and probably made more plays on the ball when he couldn't reach the Qb.
I'd love to see Wake break OGun's or JT's sack record.djphinfan likes this. -
Don't matter. I'm glad to see Wake can still play with his hand on the ground. He transitions well. :wink2: -
Not career number, season sack record is within his reach this yr though.
IIRC it is 22 sacks? -
And understands backside contain. Imagine that.

I'd also have to vote for J.J. Watt. Unquestionably the best defensive player in the league right now. He's on another plane.
Wake has become a damn good two-way lineman and he might have better get off than JT, but he doesn't have nearly the array of pass rush moves nor the all-around game of JT. Not even close IMO. When JT got to the QB, he was also going for the strip. He forced fumbles, recovered them, was uncannily around the ball every time it hit the ground. Dude scored 9 TD's off fumbles and INTs.
There's nobody on this team that possesses the awareness and football IQ that JT had. And to think his wasn't even the highest on the team during that time (Zach).
