Not against someone tooting their own horn, a sincere congrats on sticking with the guy, but... Wallace NEVER played with the aggression last year, not even close.
A quick shout out to Wallace!

I was as vocal as anyone against Wallace but I must say he has played with much more heart this year. Great to see!

He was never a sideline seeker as he was made out to be by some. The Ginn comparisons were rampant. The difference is scheme/philosophy this year. Allowing Wallace to run more routes like he did in Pitt allows for a full picture of his skill set.
Last year was new team, new qb and new system. This year he just has to deal with another new system...his third in as many years.

He also had a tender hammy today.
Bye week will only work wonders for our health as a team.

This is the silliest post I have seen in awhile. Wallace is a totally different player this year. Show me where he was running over DBs last year, or looking for contact rather than stepping out of bounds. Wallace last year played like Tedd Ginn, this year he is playing like he thinks he is a TE.

He's obviously talking about his time in Pitt.

You show me differently. Because when he did get the ball in space, he was nothing like Ginn. Also just goto YouTube and in the small sample size allowed, watch his work in Pitt.
Silly no.....just a simple truth to you who hated on a man being misused last year.

He Competes!!!
0:18 second mark says a lot about the effort in terms of aggressiveness that we got from Wallace last year. He ran through a poor arm tackle but at 1:11, but that was the closest thing to being hit. The rest are his touchdowns so obviously he didn't get tackled and sprinted through and around defenders.

Was he misused in Sherman's offense? Absolutely. No one will argue that point but that's also not what was being questioned about Wallace. What was in question was his aggressiveness. I also went through his highlights in Pitt and he never showed the knack for inviting contact. Made some really nice plays but he wasn't an aggressor. Since he seems to be your "boy" why don't you prove us why we're wrong. Find some game tape that he somehow displayed this attitude before this year. I couldn't find it.
Regardless, that's why he is getting his props for now. Wallace has a different attitude this year, he wants to punish his tacklers and it's great; it's exciting.

We also only passed for 3 quarters and had good field position all game.
What else is there to go by when judging a wr? Did you see the all 22? Not possible. Were you at the game? Highly unlikely. Fact is he had 35 yards today. I want a lot more out of a receiver making 10 million a year. He's been average this year with numerous drops. He's is simply overpaid and now it seems fans are overrating him as well.

Yours was so much more enlightening. Thanks.
Yep! The man has been awesome so far this season.
You have noticed he keeps getting in the end zone, right?
