The Miami Dolphins and Cameron Wake both enjoyed a lot of success last season. For the first time since 2008, the Dolphins made the playoffs while Wake was named to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his career.

Although Wake played in his first ever playoff game in 2016, he isn’t satisfied with the Dolphins just making the postseason.

“That was just a stepping stone to obviously greater things,” Wake said to reporters on Thursday. “Most of the guys who are still here know what that journey was like. We know what it took, how hard it was, every week, scratching and clawing, winning close games, the sacrifices it took day in and day out to say we only got so far. If anything, now you know what it took to get that far, now what do we have to do to go even a step further to reach our ultimate goal? I like to think that a lot of guys, we don’t have complacent guys. We have guys who are hungry and thirsty to do more and they already know what it takes.”

After suffering a torn Achilles which ended his 2015 season, the 35-year-old Wake had one of his best seasons in 2016 as he finished with 11.5 sacks. He also recorded five forced fumbles and the first interception of his career.

Miami finished with 10 wins last season, but they were quickly bounced from the playoffs as they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-12 in the AFC Wild Card Round. Although the Dolphins made the playoffs in 2016, many Las Vegas Sports books have the team finishing with under eight wins in 2017. Wake says he isn’t worried about what others outside of the organization think about the Dolphins.

“I couldn’t care less,” Wake said. “To me, the outside world – it doesn’t matter if they’re praising you or condemning you – it means nothing because the only people that go out there and have to make it happen are the guys who are putting on the Dolphins colors week in and week out. A year ago, it was the opposite and we did what we had to do to this year, they could praise us and we have to work and do what we have to do. It doesn’t make a difference either way.”
