CARLSBAD, Calif. — Since joining the Miami Dolphins in 2009, defensive end Cameron Wake has had five different head coaches.

Adam Gase is different.

Speaking after Sunday’s upset at San Diego, Wake laid out the top two reasons why:

•GASE COACHES WITH ENTHUSIASM. “He is a guy with a lot of passion. He is very fired up, especially on the offensive side. We’re the stepchildren on defense. But don’t tell him I said that. But the passion is there. And the guys know that when you have a guy that’s passionate about playing and passionate about winning, it’s easy to rally the troops.”

•GASE RELATES TO THE PLAYERS. “Guys go out and play for him. We play for each other. It’s really easy to play for a guy like that. He’s on the sideline. I’m sure you guys have seen him. He’s all over the place. F-Bombs here. It’s fun. He’s a guy’s guy. And he’s one of the fellas out there on coaching side of the ball. And I’ve been enjoying every minute of it, to be honest.

Wake, 34, has six sacks in four games since regaining his starting position.

Wake is also a big fan of first-year defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.

JOSEPH KNOWS PLAYER STRENGTHS. “What I really enjoy about him is he’s a guy that’s knows his personnel. When the hammer is needed, you use the hammer. When the nail is needed, you use the nail. The way our defense is set up, there are a lot of guys that can make plays.”

JOSEPH HAS AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH. “He lets us go. He lets us attack. That’s been our motto is attack, attack, attack. We’re not going to sit back and hope or prevent. We’re going to go force. I love it. And I know the other guys love it the same. He’s been putting guys in a position to make plays.”

Wish Wake was 10 years younger. Sucks that he had to suffer majority of his career with Sporano and skeletor.

The crazy thing is he spent the first 5 years after college trying to prove he belonged in the NFL.
 
Gase is the franchise coach we have been looking for. He will be here a LONG time and will win many superbowls. I feel very confident saying that. You do need to recognize that that doesnt mean he HAS to make the playoffs this year. I don't want anybody calling for Gase if we start losing. It takes time

What shows me how much our coaching has improved is we are getting results with worse talent than in years past imo. Especially considering the injuries we've had its quite impressive. I am far from sold on Tannenbaum picking the groceries but if he can be an average GM, we may have a bright future ahead.

Imagine what his sack numbers would be if he came directly out into NFL. Scary...and sad at the same time.

Wake has mentioned that his failure to make in the NFL is what fueled him to be the player he is today. Who knows what he would be if he caught on day 1...maybe he never becomes the Cam Wake we see on Sundays...

He's proven he can coach but if he wants to be here a long time he has to prove he can evaluate talent and convince the front office to acquire that talent...we all know this front office can't do it on their own.

Only took Ross 4 years too long to rid this franchise of Joe "Epic" Failbin. Im sure hes walking around Indy right now saying "shot and darn" while he picks up gum wrappers.

He better be polishing up his resume for a college job because he's getting Andrew Luck destroyed on Sunday's and Chuck Pagano is on the hot seat and may get fired if they miss the playoffs.
 
Cam Wake is entering Ring Of Honor territory. This guy is absolute warrior. He was so out of breath on those last few drives yesterday but kept lining up and still wreaking havoc. He is an all time dolphin in my book
 
Mike McCarthy might be fired, Marvin Lewis too (long overdo) lots of big names might be fired.
 
I really hope wake gets a fair shot at the hall of fame. As long as ge gets 3 more sacks he'll finish his 8th year with 80 sacks or 10 sacks a year, thats borderline hall of famer. Hispressures are insane too he's second behind von miller and wake has been top 5 in pressures just about his whole career.
