Two words, Mike Sherman... How much motion did we incorporate last year? Yup... [ ] ... theres your answer (empty space=zero).
And, with new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor coming from his job as the Eagles quarterback coach a year ago, he is perfectly suited to apply those principles to the equally explosive Wallace that Eagles coach Chip Kelly applied to Jackson.
More specifically, I’m talking about how the Eagles moved Jackson around — sometimes putting him in the slot — so that he could use his speed against a linebacker or a No. 2 or No. 3 cornerback and then deep against the safety.

if this is true then i really believe we will be a matchups nightmare, wallace will destroy lb and safteys with no help against his 4.3 speed. also it will allow other players on this offense to shine.
The problem with moving Wallace around is twofold, imo:
1. He doesn't run a variety of routes well.
There's nothing in the article you posted that says they're going to move Mike Wallace around, or that they're considering moving him around, nothing.
2. Keeping Wallace on the right side of the formation makes things easier for Tannehill. Like every right handed quarterback, Tannehill is measurably more accurate throwing to his right than throwing to his left. I don't have the numbers on Tannehill right in front of me but it's a marked trend around the league and he shows the same thing. So... if you're going to make the mistake in giving a receiver like Mike Wallace $12 million per year, you probably should keep him on the side of the field where your quarterback is more accurate to try and get the most out of that pairing.
I thought that Tannehill was more accurate throwing deep to Hartline on the left?
