"Playbook" is an awesome show. I watch it every week and it's the most complete analysis/preview show for the NFL IMO...
did you watch the draft a few years back when Mayock basically called him a fat pig on live TV?
I ate my crow last year, and called for his start after the BUF game I believe. I thought at that time you start him and see what you got. During this offseason my questions were mainly directed towards him being in a 2pt stance.
To date as a pure pass rusher whether in a 2pt or 3pt stance, he's shown great power and speed. With the loss of JT and over all youth of the defense, I'm glad I was wrong.
Only one question remains IMO, durability. The natural wear and tear of being a 16gm starter at a impact position.
He's on pace for like 24 QB Sacks, 24 QB Hits and 32 QB Pressures.
Misi's on pace for 8 QB Sacks, 32 QB Hits and 32 QB Pressures.
Keeping in mind that Wake is pacing for near 1,000 snaps and Misi is pacing for near 650.
I know the CFL and NFL are different animals, but he started 18 games in the CFL and also went on playoff runs. I believe he set a CFL record with 5 sacks in a playoff game. He never came off the field when he played here, but I know some will argue the CFL game wasnt as physical. He was dealing with constant double teams and holds here, and still produced those insane numbers.
If there are any 09 pre-season Wake skeptics left who haven't yet eaten their crow pie after spending that pre-season adamantly arguing that Wake's lights-out CFL exploits stood little chance of translating into NFL success, I'd think it's about time to pony up for a huge serving now.
wakes ankle flexion has stood out to me also...i don't know where the still is anymore of the leg planted in the ground with his ankle literally almost touching the ground also while maintaining his balance and explosion around the corner
somebody had it as their sig pic and i pointed out how many guys don't have that kind of flexion...just another feather in this guys cap...like i said earlier double digit sacks easy if he stays healthy...easy
Dlockz and Omar Kelly, ORDER UP!
does Omar Kelly even watch players before he comments? wasnt he singing the praises of RGM as well before the season? pretty sure he hadnt scoured CFL tape to watch him.
