This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Cameron Wake has only been active for 5 of 8 games. Has only been on the field for a handful of plays in each of those games.
he currently has 11 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 1 FF
JT has 22 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 2 FF....and a TD.
Joey Porter 12 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1FF
Charlie Andreson....6 tackles
Erik Walden 5 tackles
That makes Wake our 2nd best OLB and is DRAMATICALLY!!!!outproducing EVERYONE on a perecentage of snaps basis.
Even if you try to factor in the fact that most of his snaps are clear passing downs.....JT and Porter still have had significantly more 'clear passing downs.
JT is earning his keep. He isn't what he once was...but he is producing.
Porter is talking and doing very little.
Start WAKE!!!!!! Seriously....what are we losing? Some veteran experience? How helpful has that been?
Has Wake taken any snaps from a two point stance? It seems like he's always lining up as a DE in our 4-man "pass rush" front. I don't know if he's ready to be a starter at LB. But, I agree that he needs to play more. At this point, I'm done with Porter. He sucked against the run last year, and has been incredibly unproductive in all areas this season. Let Roth play the strong side, let JT move back to the weak side, and Wake should be at DE in pass rush situations, with Starks as the other DE. In all seriousness, I would have no problem if they released Porter right now, and let JT, Charlie Anderson, Roth, and Wake share the OLB snaps.
Wake has a tremendous motor and is all about productivity, but his motor could be his weakness as well. As a starter he may be prone to over-pursuit. I'd love to see him get more playing time, but expect some mistakes.
I BELIEVE JP IS JUST COLLECTING A PAYCHECK THIS YEAR! PUT IN WAKE HE IS OBVIOUSLY THE GUY WE NEED TO PUT SOME PRESSSURE ON THE QB, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE IS DOING IT!
