Diehard Phinatic!
I know we all like to rip Omar but I agree with this. Roberto is a freak with 6'4 225 size and runs a 4.4/40, he just needs to put it all together and he can seriously make some noise in this league!

Are you talking about "ankle weights Wallace"?

Roberto seemed miffed at the nickname and made a comment after bringing down a bomb in practice for a TD. Lettuce hope this lights a fire under his ass and he makes a move. Maybe we can hear 'Tannehill to Wallace' a lot this season...
through one preseason game he's offered us some hope that he's more than an training camp hero. As to the ankle weights crap... you'd do well to remember that the coaches know players are going to watch hard knocks.... sometimes something is put out there to motivate the players. Also you'll notice that fasano who was thrilled with hard knocks... seems to know where the camera's are... and he isn't saying **** that can bite him in the ass.

Or he could be another one of those pre-season darlings, otherwise known as a camp favorite only to disappear into oblivion later in the season. I hope he contributes this year.

I think Roberto has naked pictures of Omar's wife.... He has loved the guy every year... He hasn't proven anything at all when it really matters.
Brandon Marshall and Earnest Wilford?
Brandon Marshall has proven to be an elite NFL talent.
Ernest Wilford was pretty solid for a few season in the NFL.
Roberto Wallace....... has accomplished about as much in the NFL as Omar has. Yet, Omar makes it sound like Wallace is Wilford on his bad days. GET REAL. I think we would all be very pleased if this guy would string together a couple of seasons for us like Wilford had in Jacksonville.
Can we all stop listening to Omar's nonsense? Why even post his stuff? Its all total nonsense. Its like he dosent have enough blood running through his brain when he writes this stuff because some of it is pumping other areas of his body while he is looking at David Garrard.
Can anyone teach me how to tweet? I hear this guy debates with people on tweeter. I have no idea how to use tweeter. I have some things this clown needs to read about his man David Garrard.

Omar basically covered himself concerning Wallace if he succeeds or fails.

Life is what we make it.
Ernest(sp?) Wilford... Another big guy with no game. I want to see Wallace, Hogan and Nannee perform in the game. Pruitt is a lock IMO and we know Bess is a 3rd down beast.Our 5th and 6th WR better be ready for action as well. Somebody will get banged up running the 4 WR sets (or maybe Bush or Clay slides out).

I know there was the comment about ankle weights Wallace, but if you remember, the receiver coach pulled him aside and asked him "what is stopping you from being a star WR in this league?" His biggest issue is getting seperation from the corners (which obviously is a big concern), but he seems to have a lot of skill to bring to the table. Hopefully he can take it to the next level and step up as a decent 1 or 2. With our current bunch, all we can hope for are some good WR's rather than super-stars.
Dont bother, he'll block you as soon as you prove him wrong... And from watching your posts around here, you wont even get a singkle response out of him...lol!

The big criticism that Hard Knocks revealed was his movement and ability to create separation.
In light of that...I'm not sure his Buccaneers outing was as impressive as I initially thought. Some of those plays were better throws than routes, and weren't really indicative of his ability to create separation. Take the pretty play that Tannehill threw over the flat corner to the perimeter. That wasn't a keen route or separation. That was a great throw with great timing to the hole between zones. Take the would-be touchdown as another example. Wallace created no separation really, but Wallace is huge and tough to come through so Tannahill threw the ball low to the ground, where Wallace would have a shot at catching it but the corner wouldn't...and in the end Wallace couldn't hang on. Even if he hung on that's a better throw and decision than route or catch.
His other plays involved two slants and a curl. One of the slants the corner clearly gave up the separation by staying home in his zone, and the linebacker Hayward was late to come over to rob the passing lane. He ran the curl well, but even on that play the separation was purely zone related.
The first slant he caught, the best part about it wasn't separation but what he was able to do after the catch, breaking a tackle. I don't remember if he created separation himself in that situation or if it was the zone that gave him the separation.
I watched the other routes and there was very little separation unless it was given up by the corner in his zone coverage. The corner passed him off to the next zone. The one instance where I saw him create real separation was one where he used his hands really well to disengage.
This could be something to keep an eye on.
