Miami Dolphins may move Mike Wallace around in offense to be more effective

Two words, Mike Sherman... How much motion did we incorporate last year? Yup... [ ] ... theres your answer (empty space=zero).

You would think a offensive coordinator in the NFL would have done this from day one. Then again, we were blessed with Mike Sherman.
 
And it took a New OC to figure this out....wow!
 
Boy what an incredibly novel idea! Don't say anything to the staff, but I bet they haven't heard we've landed on the moon.

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.

creative and offense haven't been used together around here for a long time, this should be fun
 
you can still run routes he's good at from an inside position...take advantage of safety cushion and make him harder to bracket by motioning him to the inside...but i will believe it when i see it

i think a lot of the motion especially late motion will be tight ends under lazor...may well line him up in the slot though from the get go
 
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. I read the article, it's based off an Armando blog post which give his opinion that it is what they SHOULD do. Please be careful with headlines.

We're all hoping Lazor will make the offense less predictable. As far as Mike Wallace is concerned, they could certainly do more with him. But also keep in mind that Wallace is not going to want to linger in the middle of the field waiting for the ball, that's how Gibson and Keller got hurt. There has to be timed routes, and Tanny has to develop better timing with his receivers, whether it's short or long. Hopefully the Tanny-Wallace connection in general will be improved this year.

I also didnt see anything in that article that says Wallace will be moved around. It sounds like the author anticipates that, but he never actually heard it from a credible Dolphins source.

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?
