Mike Wallace

MW is a playmaker. That catch he had in the corner of the end zone against GB with 3 seconds left on the clock was one of the most clutch plays I've ever seen in person. I think he'll step up this year.

I do too, but if we still had Santonio on the team, we'd be down a WR & QB the first 4 games. I expect Wallace will have his breakout year, once we are done emphasizing the run and can call the # of passes to runs a bit more evenly than I believe they intend to do right now.

MW will step up this year!! As far as Holmes,I miss his receptions but not his mouth or off field antics!!!

Couldnt agree more... I'm not sure if it was a compliment to Sanders or a slap in the face to Wallace: But week 1 of TC alot was said about Sanders already being a better route runner than MW. He will get better as a route runner. Playing with Ward it wont take too long before he is running better routes. The thing i love about Mike, he has the skills you CANT teach. The comment about him i liked the most: "the fastest player in the league w/ pads on" by Ike Taylor.

Good thoughts by both of you. I really hope he can become a go-to guy for us.

Sanders is sex on the field. I already love the way he plays. It looks like he's good great heads and moves really fluid on the field. I'm hoping he can jump to our number 3 by midseason.

The lone reason im pissed ARE (Antwaan Randle-El) made this team. Every snap he takes is one less rep Brown/Sanders could have had. I have nothing against ARE i just dont see what he has to offer more than VERY pedestrain numbers. He is Arnaz Battle but offering next to nothing in Speacial Teams! No reason both of them should have made this team IMO, but i guess thats why im here and the coaches are there!

Randle El is just a mindless pickup by Colbert and Tomlin. Just what was the purpose of it? I certainly hope they weren't thinking this guy would replace Holmes.

Now we have 2 slow possession receivers on the field in our 3 WR sets. Hines has trouble getting open without help (from Ben buying time and other guys that draw extra coverage) so that tells me we're in for a long first four games. At least offensively.

OH I totally agree here!! I love EL but come on....he's not match against Brown and Sanders...

I don't know how many people here play fantasy football but he has been talked about a lot as a break out player fantasy wise and I definitely drafted him, I'm very excited to see how he does this year.
