Re: I am starting to accept the fact that..…

The Jenkins' fingertip catch with under a minute to go in last night's Falcons/Ratbirds game, and also the memorable Stonio SB winning catch in the endzone... both are spectacular instances of a skillset that Mike needs to improve in. I have yet to see those "non-cradling" catches from our number 2... but I know this is something he'll work hard to attain. Like Steve Young said in the post MNF game.... "He's a Pittsburgh Steeler."

See what you guys knock Wallace for...you also ignore the fact that in other areas...such as...going up after the ball, coming back to it, willing to go over the middle in traffic, and the ability to flat out run past people, even in a deep cover 2. But hey...let's nitpick on a youngster who is going to be the best WR on this team by season's end. And WR that teams are going to have to game plan for.

Dub, you need to step away from this thread for awhile... your getting a little sensitive over MW. "Knocking on" infers something negative. Reread my post, and I'm sure you'll see the positives that I've noted about him. BTW, I have an authentic Mike Wallace jersey, so I support this budding superstar, I'm just noting areas of his game he could use improvement in.

Dub likes to throw out the old guys anytime a youngster shows promise. While its obvious Wallace is the future I think he still has some growing to do and he is already being game planned against. Not sure what dub wants. He starts and gets 5 to 6 passes a game right now. We aren't going to target any WR 15 times a game.

And Crash no one currently is doubling Mike Wallace. That day is coming but it isn’t here yet. And when it does it will open up everyone else.

The Saints DID NOT allow Wallace to get deep on them. They rolled coverage and doubled him.

That won't make El any better and it won't make Hines Ward 25 years old again.

I am in agreement with you on El...but you are mistaken on the Saints rolling the coverage. They were constantly in an 8 and 9 man box. They were bringing the house after Ben. There was no deep safety over the top or rolled to Wallace's way.

The announcers must have been wrong as well because they mentioned it during the game.

Did you not watch the game? Did you not see 8 and 9 at or inside the box for most of the game? Where they not bringing or showing blitz most of the night? How do you roll coverage with a safety when 8 or 9 inside the box leaves you one deep?? Makes no sense no matter who you heard it from.

I understand Shawn...your football knowledge is confined to what you hear or read. Cool.[/quote:zdgujp9k]

didn't see if this was answered from page 4 but it does make sense cause most times they still had a saftey back there.

they might have had 8-9 on the LOS, but some of those guys dropped back to cover a TE or RB coming out of the backfiled.

most of those alignments were against our 2 wr package. so, you get 1-1 with ward and corner with safety help on wallace
