He still hasn't learned Sherman's offence, what's the over/under in years it will take him to learn lazor's?

I say 3

I don't get it? I never saw him asking what route to run or anything like that.
 
Think we're gonna be surprised how Lazor helps the offense out.

Remember the QB he made look so good is throwing the ball to receivers.They also benefit big time,Mike will be one of them.
 
Wallace will be the man just wait. Lazor will open this thing up for Wallace, Hartline, Gibson, Matthews, and Clay. Sherman held our talent back with his conservative calls. Big things for the fins in 2014!
 
I am not concerned about Wallace, He is what he is, we saw it last year. 1000 yards, 70 receptions. He could double his TD's if RT could hit him, but he is doing his part as far as that goes. He is and will be consistent.
 
Wallace got better as the season went on. He'll be fine.

If anything, I expect him to be more productive with an OC who might actually put him in motion and use him on more crossing routes. Or if we get some guys who can actually block for a freakin bubble screen when we call it.
 
and as far as 3 years, I doubt he stays beyond the guarantees.
 
Shermans offense is incredibly complicated, Wallace never fit it, and I truly believe we paid him to satisfy the fans. I don't think Sherman or philbin ever wanted him. He did well with ben, because ben had the freedom to drag plays out and throw it deep even if Wallace wasn't open, tannehill didnt have that freedom.

Wallace will do far better in a system that gives the qb more freedom.

I don't think people understand just how hard shermans system is to learn and execute. It's a genius system with a vet team, but in today's NFL it's just to hard to run consistently with moving pieces, especially with the change in practice where players aren't allowed to practice as often.

On a side note, you csnt judge Wallace just by his stats, clay got all his work in on the right side, where Wallace cleared the way. Rewatch the game vs Pitt if you want to see just how much clay benefited from Wallace.

I doubt any of the young qbs could run shermans system the way tannehill did, that was a awesome crash course for him to the NFL, it shows just how smart he is. It will benefit him long term, where as if u watched russell this past week, if his first read wasn't open he threw it away every time. Really basic ****, he benefits hard from a simple system and a ridiculous run game/defense.

The offense was so complicated they finished in the bottom tier of all major team categories.

I never said they ran the offense efficiently, I said it was complicated. It's easily one of the more complicated offenses in the NFL. If ithe execution is good consistently, there's no game plan to stop it.

But it's very hard to run efficiently. It's why when Matthews started getting playtime he came off the field after every play. They had to coach him on between plays despite the fact it's the second year he's been here. Most wr vets would have trouble learning it.
 
xXwarXx is right, the offense is complicated. That's why we never played receivers right after we signed them in 2012. In the first few games in 2013, there were numerous plays where Wallace did not know whether to keep running or to sit in the zone waiting for the ball. It got better as the season progressed.
 
It wasn't an issue of not understanding the offense it was a problem with making him one dimensional and screwing it up on timing. If Lazor is a creative guy he'll utilize Wallace in slants and crossing patterns. Hell he might even put Wallace in motion or run him from the slot. That would be an upgrade to what we saw from Sherman by itself.

Well the Sherman offense does demand a lot from receivers. There were several missed connections where Wallace mistakenly went toward a DB and Tannehill threw it away from the DB.

I got the impression that Wallace had never really been asked to run a system where he was expected to adjust his routes like that on every play. He got a lot better at it as the year went on, but the one that really killed us was against the Patriots, that throw to the goal line that could have put us up like 24-3. He turned back in toward the safety and Tannehill threw it toward the pylon where it woulda been an easy six instead of a career ending hit in the face.
