Defensive End Cameron Wake

(On DT Ndamukong Suh’s sense of humor) –“You’ve got to ask him about that. He’s a funny guy.”

(On how he felt today) – “It was great. It was just like old times.”

(On his comfort level with the new defense and how it compares to before) – “Attack. That’s one word. It’s something that I think fits well with a lot of guys that are going to be playing in it. Obviously you got one of them right here, documenting it all (DT Ndamukong Suh). Just getting after it, being aggressive … I think that’s something that a lot of guys really will enjoy. I’m one of those guys and I look forward to it.”

(On when he will be 100 percent) – “Was that (Head Athletic Trainer) Ryan (Grove) out there? Was Ryan out there? You got to talk to Ryan about that – (the) trainer, for those who don’t know. Not Tannehill.”

(On how he feels the day after workouts and it seems that he hasn’t missed any practices) – “Not that I know of. I’ve been out there just getting after it with all the other guys (and)trying to do my best to get better (so we) make sure the season is one that we can all be proud of.”

(On what he missed the most about not playing the second half of last year) – “Well, I wasn’t away for very long. I had one game where I had to sit and watch. That might have been the hardest part. This was obviously a while ago; but after that, I was around as much as possible and helping in any way I could. It all kind of seems like a long time ago now. I’m focusing on the here and now and what’s going on in this minicamp.”

(On what was going so well in the three-game stretch before his injury last season) – “Bringing up old stuff, are we? I would like to think that’s just me. That’s another thing I want to make sure I continue to do and get back to where that’s not a surprise or out of the ordinary, that’s just who I am.”

(On how important it is for him to practice in these OTAs and minicamp) – “Just getting back in the groove every year. You got a quote unquote long offseason – maybe not for me this year; it was different. But just going out there and getting back into the scheme of things. Obviously we’ve got a new everything. We’ve got new coaches, new players, and just getting back and being consistent and getting familiar with everybody and them getting familiar with you. I think this is a good start to that.”

(On his impressions of Head Coach Adam Gase and what he brings to the team) – “A little youth. He’s a fun guy, but a guy who knows when it’s time to work, it’s time to work. And that’s something I think a lot of guys can appreciate. We get out there, it’s going to be go time. But we also have the opportunity to kick back and relax and have a little fun, as well.”

(On his mindset from the time he got injured and as he progressed through rehab) –

DT Ndamukong Suh: “Can I answer that question? He’s Superman.”

DE Cameron Wake: “I like that. I like that answer. But there’s never been any doubt. I don’t have to reiterate my story; but I’ve had hurdles, roadblocks, obstacles, from the minute I started playing football. Add this to the list.”

(On coming back from a major injury for the first time) – “Well, when I got released from the Giants, I’d never been released. When I got to the CFL, I’d never be to the CFL. When I got to the Dolphins, I’d never been inactive. Like I said, add another one to the list, another obstacle to overcome. I’ve been doing it my whole career and I wouldn’t expect this to be any different.”
