Mike Wallace: No one can key on me in Dolphins attack

[datruth55]

From what I've read, Tannehill likes Taylor and wanted to keep him. He will probably change his mind the more time he spends with Lazor

Meh...who does Tannehill have to compare him to? Zac Taylor has been his QB coach since college. I would have preferred replacing Taylor and getting someone with NFL experience with a track record of developing QBs. I wanted Tom Clements but that wasn't going to happen.

As far as Philbin and Sherman and think it was clear that Philbin gives both his coordinators a lot of autonomy to run their units. He even stated when he was hired that he would let the coordinators call their own plays and wouldn't interfere. That's why I thought it was funny when "sports writers" were saying that potential coordinators were worried that if they came to Miami they wouldn't have control over the offense. At no point in any of Philbin's two seasons has he ever been deemed a control freak who wants certain plays run or where he would take the play calling from his coordinators during games.

We shall see with Wallace, Im sure he has never been as good as he says he says he is because of everyone else but him

Last year Wallace was just living myth, hypothetical threat, before Gibson went down. Then Wallace needed to actually produce, and he didn't. If it wasn't in his wing span he didn't make much effort for the ball. #1's go for that ball, they get that ball. A Fitzgerald or a Johnson gets that ball. Hell, a Boldin gets that ball. Wallace better show up if he's talking about it.

Every player excels at different things... wallace gets behind the entire defense by 5-10 yards at least 3 times a game

I understand. And that allowed Gibson to be the man underneath before he went down. But if that is all you have... 3 times a game.. That is not an #1 WR. That's juts a deep threat.

Yep. And he was still doing that last year. If Tannehill can't hit him when hes running wide open always lining up from the same spot will moving him around really make that much of a difference? Wallace is an 1100 yard reciever, he always has been and with a better o-line and some better throws he would have been last year too. If anybody thinks Wallace is going to morph into Megatron and start averaging 1500 yards a season you are going to be disappointed, regardless of who the offensive coordinator is.

The best thing for any offense is to not key on any one player. There should be enough movement and formations that your playmakers are at an advantage a majority of the time....this doesn't mean just Wallace, but Clay as well. Sherman's biggest deficiency was not doing this.

On the deep ball and Wallace....most of those plays took to long to develop and Tannehill was force to throw the ball when Wallace was already 30 yards down the field....he will complete a higher percentage of those throws if he releases the ball when he is about 15 yards down the field (like he did with Clay and Hartline).
