My buddy is a die hard Dolphins fan, and I just asked him about this.  He has never heard Wake referred to as the Kraken.  

 

Also, if you Google "the kraken nfl", here's what you get:

This is the Kraken:

Pointing out one guy playing well at age 32 doesn't  justify everyone else.  Especially when Mathis hasn't been hurt and has twice as many sacks. No one said a DE can't play into his 30s simply that Wake is not playing to his 2012 level and as players age they slow down and are susceptible to injuries.  Both things which are happening to Wake.

 

So if Jerry Rice played until 40 then all receivers can, right? So Steve Smith is playing better now even though his numbers are down because Rice played to 40, right?? We don't believe that just like we don't believe Wake is the force you homers do. He only strikes fear in the heart of opposing Ohio fans. 

Again, what's with you saying he is not matching last year's stats? You just said that I was living in the past yet you're bringing up his performance last year. 

 

Just for you

 

He had 8.5 sacks through 10 games last year, he has 6.5 through 7 games this year. 

 

He has more sacks than Hardy playing in less games, but he's "slowing down" LOL. 

 

You can't say he's slowing down because the season hasn't ended yet. He could have 14-16 sacks again by the end of the year. SMH.

no point comparing his numbers with Hardy's IMO.

 

Hardy goes up against LTs, Wake goes up against RTs.    The reason Mario Williams is so high on the sack list is b/c he feasted on some sorry poo (our RT being one).    You put 2 equal pass rushers on both sides, I expect the the DE facing RT to have better stats b/c his competition is weaker

He is not up to last years sacks, he is 2 behind.  And you can say what you want but it is 6.5 sacks through 10 games not 7. There are 6 games left not 9.   And really I don't see any 4 sack perormances left on your schedule like last year so it won't be escalating big time.

 

  In 2012 he had 7 games without a sack, this year he has 6 already through 10 games.  No matter what the reason he is not doing as well.  You are right he could bolster his total given he always plays big against 1 or 2 teams and is mediocre the rest of the time.  7.5 of his sacks were against 2 teams last year and 5.5 against 2 this year.  Still given he goes weeks without a sack he will very lucky to have 10.  Likely less.

 

As for comparing him to Hardy, Wake is a one trick pony who can little but rush the passer.  Hardy is a complete player who can do it all.  Wake has 19 tackles Hardy has 41, not even close.  And yeah tell me again it is 7 games but the issue is how many are left and that is 6.  So no Wake won't be putting up big numbers this year.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
