Smith is a beast but come on it was the garbage bears o-line lol
Wake needs to watch some A. Smith film.

According to PFF, Wake still leads the league with 55 total QB disruptions. While it would be great to get that number (and his sack number) higher, unfortunately you don't get to play against Bobbie Massie or Gabe Carimi every week. Also, he doesn't get much help (whereas Aldon Smith had Justin Smith converging from the other side). Overall, I don't think watching Aldon Smith could really help him much (playing with him could help a lot though 
).

Aldon Smith can do that because Justin Smith is a beast on the defensive line, as well. Give Wake some help and away we go.

It did help going against a terrible O-line

Aldon Smith is a nice player, make no mistake. And he may very well break the sack record for the first 2 years to start a career. However, as some have stated, a lot of his success can be attributed to his surrounding cast. And a good amount of his sacks have come off ONE move ... the inside twist with Justin Smith.
As for last night's game, he just had a perfect matchup with an inept tackle who was receiving little to no help. Cam Wake enjoyed a similar matchup against Massie and Arizona earlier on the year when he amassed 4.5 sacks.
The big difference many are overlooking is Cam Wake often is double-teamed or chipped by a RB whereas Aldon Smith receives a lot more single coverage due to the fact the Niners have so many more threats surrounding him. If Wake was lining up at DE for the Niners this year, he'd have a few more sacks than he has right now.....

If you placed Wake on that Niner defense, Wake would get the NFL record for most sacks in a season
The problem is Wake doesn't have near the supporting cast on the miami defense.
Wake is so important to this D, that if you took him out of the starting lineup, Miami's D would be ranked in the bottom-5 in the league. Seriously, the guy has disrupted the QB 75 times this year either with pressures, sacks, or QB hits, that leads the league, and that's while receiving routine double and triple teams. Take those pressures away with opposing QB's having all day to throw on every down, and we'd see 500 yards passing against miami every game on average, with this poor secondary, if Wake wasn't on the field.
All that attention Wake gets from offenses would be shuffled to other players on the D, stymying and shutting down other dolphin defenders.. with no one to rush the passer in Wake's place to top it off.
yeah, this defense would be hopeless without Wake. Absolutely hopeless. You can't say that if you took out a defensive player for the Niners. They'd still be bad a$$

Wake doesn't have the luxury,of being surrounded by beasts like the 'Niners have!!! One on One....Wake is as good if not better than most in our beloved NFL. It's just that with all of those double teams,he's very limited. I'm proud he's wearing our aqua/orange...easily my favorite player since Zach left!!!
