padre31luxury_boxBut he wasn't much of a pro prospect despite raw athleticism. Nobody drafted him in 2005. The New York Giants signed Wake as a rookie free agent to play 4-3 stack linebacker. After one set of organized team activities in shorts, the Giants cut him.
Bill Sheridan, the Giants' linebackers coach at the time, can laugh (a little) about their gross misjudgment. Sheridan is Wake's position coach with the Dolphins now.
"I bet we never got to see him do one pass rush in that entire OTA," Sheridan said of Wake's brief look with the Giants. "We were trying to teach him how to play linebacker and pass drop. He never had a chance to demonstrate any of this.
"Obviously in hindsight that was very foolish on our part because we let him go."
Bill Sheridan had a one yr stint as the Giants Defensive Coordinator, if Nolan leaves, he is next in line for the job.
Interesting that Graham mentioned the Broncos, he had a workout with them in December of 2008, but Shanahan offered only a practice squad spot, Wake declined, think about Wake and Dumervil together in Denver..
Wake is an animal and he will be our defence for years to come

smahtazforum_veteran4 more sacks and he ties the single season Dolphin record. Not bad for a 1st year starter.

muscle979forum_veteranThe best part might be what an idiot he's making that jackass Joey Porter look like. I wish someone would have the balls to ask Joey in an interview if he thinks he should be on the field over the NFL sack leader now.

He's also making Miami coaches look like imbeciles for NOT playing Wake more last season

The Dolphins had no choice but to dump the inflammatory Porter. He eventually signed with the Arizona Cardinals and is tied for 38th in the NFL with five sacks. Taylor is tied for 55th with four sacks.
