paloffs Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Didn't Miami just sign him? That is actually a pretty good indicator of how good Wake could be. Parcell's got him. However, it also makes this thread moot since he's not on the market anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never4get#21 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 absolutely. The kids looks like the real deal. Never mind: Miami got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickTaylor21 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/6560/wake-hopes-long-journey-just-beginning Saw this article and remembered talking about this guy. Sounds like he's doing well in Miami, has 4.5 sacks in limited action behind Joey Porter and Jason Taylor. Reading the comments on the article, it sounds like he struggles in pass coverage, but he knows how to get to the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitStickTaylor21 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 maybe there's a reason why he's in the CFL, just sayin.... You missed the timeline, I bumped this because he's not in the CFL anymore. He has 4.5 sacks with the Dolphins this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I thought he started the season with the Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALEOVECHKIN Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I thought he started the season with the Dolphins? Still with the Dolphins. He excels at rushing the passer and on FG situations (used his athleticism and 40' vertical to jump over the line twice already). He struggles in pass coverage and really can't cover sideline to sideline so he doesn'y play all the time but he is beast at getting to the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This was just bumped guys, beware of the timeline before you post. Anyway, I'm a huge PSU fan who goes to 1-2 games per season and never misses one on TV, and I had never heard of the guy. It wasn't until reading further that I made the connection that it was Derek Wake. I wonder when he started going by his middle name? Anyway, he played for Penn State during the dark years earlier this decade, and was one of the lone bright spots on the team. Solid but not spectacular player. If I'm remember the right guy (and this might not be right, take it with a grain of salt) he lost his job for two reasons. One was the emergence of Paul Posluszny, who would become one of the best LB's in Penn State history. The other was (again, I'm not sure it was him) he had some sort of ailment which was causing him to lose strength/almost faint, and he couldn't make it through an entire game. I'm positive this happened with a PSU linebacker around this time, but I can't remember if it was Wake or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 He finished with 5.5 sacks this year in his first year in the NFL. He would've been some real quality depth for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 the CFL might be a good place to look to fill some holes. Are there any quality Olineman we could pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin301 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think the skins shoud make a run at berry cofield DT for the giants he's big 6.4 305 young 26 he will be a great right by big al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin301 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Bump what do u guys think if him in a 3-4 OLB spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryman of the North Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 He is with the dolphins and wont be going anywhere. as for Oline, CFL olinemen are terrible and rarely do well in the NFL. right now there are a few guys who could have a shot but its a very different game up here.

What do you think of Stevie Baggs of the Roughriders? He seems like he could be a decent fit. The CFL has been a decent pipeline of defensive talent to the NFL recently with guys like Chris Wilson, Rashad Jeanty, and Cam Wake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbmayday Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sounds good to me especially if the Skins are going to run a 3-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsManNJ Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I say go get him Shallen. We could have a nice hybrid DE/LB corps. Switching between 3-4 and 4-3 in game would cause fits for any offense. I would love to see that kind of D especially if the secondary plays lights out. Real capital punishment.

Ryman of the North Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Baggs is too small, Wake was undersized as well but has the frame to add weight and his stats were far above everyone elses when he was here. Baggs could maybe fit as a situational rusher on a 3-4 team. Wake and Jeanty are both solid players but Wilson hasnt shown anything other than potential thus far, the thing is CFL De's need to be mobile and frankly the quality of CFL Otackles is pathetic.

Well Cam is basically a situational passrusher in Miami. I'd be fine if Baggs did the same thing here as depth. I disagree on Wilson. At the very least, Wilson has shown that he is quality depth. I think he could be a starter in a 3-4 scheme next year. Are there any CFL players you think could play in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
