Cameron Wake: Wake to get first crack at replacing Porter
Cameron Wake - LB - MIA - Mar. 17 - 11:34 am et

Cameron Wake will get the first crack at replacing Joey Porter, according to beat writer Mike Berardino.
The Dolphins may have both of their outside linebacker spots open if Jason Taylor moves on. Wake has upside, but he is a severe liability in pass coverage and served as a situational pass rusher last season. Look for the Dolphins to target an outside linebacker early in the draft. Mar. 17 - 11:34 am et

Well, we all suspected it, but it is good to actually read it from Mike B.

This will be one of the more fascinating story lines in Training Camp and OTA's, Wake has a long way to go to play OLB full time, and he will face competition from Charlie Anderson and whomever we draft.

Charlie Anderson does not thrill me, he is a backup for a few years for a reason, he had one nice game last year, but if he is starting, I won't feel so great.

I like C Anderson, but you are correct, though imho he has shot at playing SOLB in Nolan's defense as he is a good athlete.

I would hope he would have the first shot.
He is the only exciting WOLB on our roster.

Channing Crowder was on Sid's show this afternoon and he did not think JT would be coming back to the Phins if he has an offer that pays enough to make up for leaving the family down in Miami.

Which makes me a touch nervous the truth be told, Cam Wake and alot of hope is not really a strategy for sucess..

This is all speculation. I could write the same thing about Charlie Anderson.

Charlie Anderson has first crack at replacing Joey Porter.

Charlie Anderson will get the first crack at replacing Joey Porter, according to thePhins poster GISH.
The Dolphins may have both of their outside linebacker spots open if Jason Taylor moves on. Anderson has upside, but he is questionable as a full-time starter as he has only played situational roles with Miami to this point. Look for the Dolphins to target an outside linebacker early in the draft. Mar. 17 - 3:05 pm et

see.

Personally, I'm not really in favor of the move to help the team. However, I am in favor of the salary.

You shouldn't of been wearing it in the first place without his sister's permission.

Reeeeally hoping we go OLB in rounds 1 or 2.

If JT goes then we really can't take a chance and not overhaul the position.

whatya mean if jt goes we have to overhaul the position. even if he returns we still have to worry about the position. we have to go olb in this draft at least twice. hopefully starting with brandon graham.

Obviously. But JT would at least give us some experience and at least 1 LB that's decent in coverage.

Well, think about this, Wake has no proven passrushing DE across from him on the Nickel Dline if JT leaves, who would take his role?

Phil Merling maybe? But Merling just is not that good of a player as of yet.

I think JT stays & commands the outide w/Wake
Wake is an absolute physical phenomenon & football fanatic

Angelswin.com is a lot like this too. Same exact sense of humor.

Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.
