Mike Wallace - WR - Dolphins

Mike Wallace says he talked to OC Bill Lazor about calling more deep balls.

According to Lazor via Wallace, "They will come." Wallace says the Dolphins have worked more on the deep pass this week than they have since training camp. Wallace isn't the problem. Ryan Tannehill simply is horrible at throwing the deep ball. Over the last two seasons, Tannehill has completed just 20-of-79 passes that traveled 20-plus yards through the air for 660 yards, four touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Those numbers are near the bottom of the league.

I like lazors offense but I am not overly thrilled with Wallace being used as a possession receiver. He should be used to take the top off the d for the boys to work underneath. We also need rishard on the outside and hartline as a complimentary piece instead of starter. And we need clay to be used in the seam. Let Ryan loose !

I would like that first sentence a million times if I could.
 
They need to. Have to stretch the field if they want to shake up defenses.
 
Philbin is as good a coach as Tannehill is at throwing the deep ball. Atrocious. I don't hate Tannehill but I do hate it when he over/underthrows Wallace. Since Wallace has gotten here we have left dozen's of TD's on the field... and they have all mostly been THILL's fault.

We should pick the best deep passing QB in the draft, to compete with Ryan next year.
 
Tannehill is a an over-drafted under-performing below average QB. He could not throw deep when he played at Texas A & M, why would anyone expect that to change?

Tannehill has his problems but Wallace needs to share the blame.

Yeah it is definitely Wallace fault he gets yards behind a DB and his QB can't get the ball anywhere close to on target! Before you even start with that fight for the ball bull****! Wallace has proven this year he fights for the football! Breaking off a go route to high point a under thrown deep ball in traffic isn't as easy as people on here make it seem. It is very simple when Wallace blows by the defense he has done his job. Tannehill needs to step up and do his! We have the best deep threat in the league and we don't even use it because our qb is terrible!
 
Wallace can have Lazor call more deep balls, but why should he when he does not have the QB that can make the throw?

I think Wallace would agree with you but that is only part of job.
 
also, do we have the numbers on the deep passes thrown to everyone but Wallace?
 
Right and none of this was an issue for Wallace in Pit hell even Charlie Batch at 40+ years old hit him. The issue is Ryan Tannehill has a terrible deep ball regardless of who he is throwing to. He either tries to aim it, and hit a spot, or he throws it at a flat angle. Someone posted Wallace highlights when at the Steelers, and one thing that was a constant was the high angle Big Ben puts on the deep ball. It does several things, most important it allows the WR to track it and adjust his route, and the ball comes into the catch basket at a angle much easier to handle.
 
QB needs to throw them better. Wallace needs to help his QB out sometimes. Same could be said for Brian Hartline dropping that bomb against what was it, Buffalo?

OC needs to actually dial them up, though, because I've only seen what, four attempts ALL SEASON? Two were catchable, two were not. One of the catchable balls was dropped, the other one the player didn't get his feet in bounds. Sucks, but drops or the occasional foot out of bounds happen on long plays. Dial up more of them. The best way to have success on a low percentage play is to KEEP TRYING. You can't just try a handful of times, get a couple of fluke bad results (i.e. Hartline doesn't drop that pass every time, Wallace gets his feet in bounds on most of those) and give up on it. QB's problem on deep balls was said to be his footwork, and you're fixing his footwork. Keep trying.
