No thanks,...we need help at more then ONE defensive position....I woud rather spread the money around. Peppers isn't even a top ten player and he wants to be the highest paid defensive player in the league.
IIRC, Saban ran a 3-4/4-3 hybrid.Taylor won DPOY in '06, as a OLB in Sabans 3-4, thats pretty good.
I don't know about getting him but I would really like not vs him twice a year.
Won't happen IMO because he will cost a Ton of money to sign. I really do think Wake is going to be a sack machine for Miami and I'm sure they'll sign or draft some other guys at OLB.
i would like to see the Patriots getting into a bidding war for Peppers. that would increase the odds for Wilfork to hit the market.
Wilfork would have been franchise tagged by then already. Wishful thinking. The Patriots have shown to be willing to franchise a player and still go out and bid for a player like a Peppers. We got Wake, we be aight.
Come on guys lets not get carried away claiming Wake is better then Peppers. Seriously if I was trying to give you a Ferrari, would you turn it down because you are happy with your Volvo? I like Wake, but he is a project there is a reason why he ended up in the CFL. He is great at getting up the field after the QB, but needs lots of work in all other aspects of his game. Anyone remember the Jets punter breaking his ankles in the first game?
Peppers is not 30 he just turn 29 on Jan 18, just so you know Wake turned 28 on Jan 28. I ask you this is Wake's game within 1 yr of Peppers? Doubtful! Peppers is a 5 time Probowler, 2 time First team All-Pro. Wake had 5.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 23 tackles this year his rookie year in 14 games. Peppers rookie year he had 12 sacks, 1 int, 5 forced fumbles, and 29 tackles in 12 games. This year Peppers had 10.5 sacks, 2 int, and 5 forced fumbles playing with a broken hand and made the Probowl.
Peppers isn't old he is not slow and his game is light years ahead of Wakes. Seeing how Wake is 1 year younger it is highly unlikely he will ever get his game anywhere near the level of Peppers.
Like I said "I like Wake" but if he weren't a Dolphin would we be talking about him? Serious I wouldn't get all hyped up about a 5.5 sack OLB on another 7-9 team. I am just trying to keep it real here! I think we have much bigger needs, but if the Dolphins sign Peppers. Well that is a HUGE upgrade over anyone on our current roster chasing around the QB!!!
Well they played against each other this year. How did he do?
