There are definitely positives to signing the best DT in the league, but he hasn't shown them so far. Hopefully, something clicks and he becomes the player he has been because he will be here for a LONG time. If he is a bust, it cripples the franchise.

Let's be honest, the other dlinemen around him we might have overrated.  Mitchell is a nice player, run of the mill. A total JAG
Wake is past his prime
Vernon is nice, but not elite by any means
And the back-ups are just that back-ups nothing special. Just nice players.

Might have? No, you absolutely did. Not just you, just about everyone. I was one of the few saying tap that brakes on that till they play a couple games and after 2 games, it's not tap the brakes it's steer the damn thing out of the ditch. Remember Suh was going to make all of them better? Well none of them are better so far and Suh himself hasn't been anything special. Suh and Wake were talking about having the best defensive line in the league. That's a laugh. Be nice to have the best defensive line in the game at this point because the defensive line is 0-2 in that regard. Remember how they were gonna make the offensive line better? Not so much. Everyone VASTLY overated the defense. It's been horrible so far, in fact there's no where to go but up because they are bottom of the league at this point.

Wake played like 1 quarter today, tough to rip him. He was injured

He played plenty the last half of last year and did nothing. I can rip his ass all I want.

He has one maybe two plays a game where he actually makes a difference and disappears the rest of the game. Everyone cut him slack last year because he didn't have a dominant tackle next to him, but now that he's got one he's still missing in action for 5 quarters this year. I'm tired of making excuses for him. 2 tackles and 1/2 sack a game is not getting it done.

Going back to last season it does appear Wake's best days are behind him. I'm completely baffled by Suh's performance to this point. It's not like he is losing these battles to pro-bowlers. He's losing 1v1 to kids who haven't ever done anything. I know emotion is a big part of sports. I've seen the best athletes completely fail at the biggest times against people they normally dominate because they literally over-psyched themselves before performing and then didn't have their normal energy and mindset come game time.  I hope this is all this is.

Is that true?  Every time I saw him, he was double teamed.  I could have missed his 1v1 matchups though.

The announcers even mentioned during the game that Suh was not getting double teamed and that he usually is.

Mentioned it and showed replays of it.

I was at a sports bar and the sound was of the PHI/DAL game, so I missed that.

It's about to hit the fan in Miami.   Wake played 15 snaps (and the team said he wasn't injured.) Fede played 43 snaps and Shelby 42 snaps!

Per the Miami Herald:
 The Dolphins said Wake was not injured Sunday and Wake said afterward that any questions about his lack of playing time should be directed to the coach.
