Mike Wallace

I know that everyone's mad about the loses but..that kid is a little star. 7 catches for over 100 yards is a big deal to me considering he's a rookie. He runs his routes and catches the ball..and I'm sure his crazy speed doesn't hurt either. Once we learn to not put our offense and defense into last minute pressure situations, he could be one of the keys to success.

He is a bright star right now.

Hats off to Wallace, he looked like a seasoned pro out there, Holmes and Sweed should be hanging their heads in shame this morning!

He's clearly cemented the 3rd wr slot!

A real shame he couldn't have stayed in bounds on the deep ball from Ben, the flight of the ball led him out, it would have been a hell of a play to stay in and make the TD, reckon CP's Steve Smith would have struggled to stay inbounds there!

Nice work MW.

Go Steelers!

Way to go scout team, way to find a hidden gem.

Coach said that he didn't need to name the #3 because their play would separate them.

I believe it has!

Congratulations Mike Wallace!

You have clearly separated yourself from the pack.

Spot on. Wallace is the #3 as far as I am concerned now. Sweed will get the call-up in 4 WR sets or with injuries and that is it. I am sure he will come good eventually, but we are not a rebuilding team, we are in the zone now, so we don't have time to wait around for him.

Holmes keeps dropping passes Ben will look for Wallace more...

Wallace looked great out there on Sunday!
Sweed bobbled away the winning score and secured himself a spot on the bench next week unless his hands turn into Lynn Swann's this week!!
When Holmes contract is up, does anyone think Pitt has his replacement ready and in the wings?? ( If holmes gets greedy)
I think so, but it's too early to go there, one very good game does not make a career!

Could be the case! Holmes will want a big raise.

I love the guy but his cocky ass needs to hang onto the ball too!
