Through the first four weeks of the season Cameron Wake is building himself a case for being declared the league’s best pure pass rusher. Lofty words indeed but he went into Sunday with a league leading 21 hits and hurries, that should have let you know his sack drought was about to end.
End it did in a big way on Sunday with Wake sacking Kevin Kolb five times, with three in the first half as Miami jumped on Arizona early. Going against a rookie right tackle Wake was in the backfield all game, adding seven hurries and a QB hit to his numbers as he made life extremely hard for the Arizona quaretrback. For just one example (out of many)of how dominant his defensive showing was, look no further than a big third down with 10:30 left in the second quarter when Wake exploded off the snap and was nearly past Massie as he was getting out of his stance. It led to a grade of +11.4, one of the highest single game grades ever given by PFF and just reward for a superb performance.
