    WR Mike Wallace can fly...

    WR Wallace proving to be a fast learner
    by Gerry Dulac, Post-Gazette

    Rookie cornerback Keenan Lewis has known Mike Wallace since the two were growing up in the Algiers section of New Orleans, so he knows how fast the rookie receiver from the University of Mississippi can move. And, because the best friends are roommates at training camp after each was drafted in the third round by the Steelers, Lewis can refute any notion that Wallace is so fast he can turn off the light switch and be in bed before the room gets dark.

    But, man, is he fast.

    "He's definitely the fastest I've run against," said Lewis, a 6-foot, 206-pound cornerback from Oregon State. "I pretty much know how fast he is now so I know how many yards to get back when I'm covering him."

    "He can fly," said tight end Heath Miller. "Just one day I wish I could run like that to see what it feels like to run past people."

      from the sound of it.. Wallace seems to be breathing on Sweed's neck right now...

      sounds nasty but you get my drift..

      I can't wait to see them this Thursday to see what they look like at preseason game speed.

          yeah, you just know they're gonna send Wallace deep on a couple of fly patterns and let Batch or Dixon just throw one up there.

          Haha is it wrong that I'm this excited for a pre-season game? Damn i must be sick!

              He's a rookie, though. Remember how hard it is for rookie wideouts to adjust to the pro game. I think he will contribute to the return game this year, but his contributions on offense should be little more than the occassional Hail Mary at the end of a half, since Hines, Santonio, Sweed, and McDonald should be ahead of him in the pecking order this season.
              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                  Nah, it's not wrong. I feel the same way. I'm so desperate for some football that I even watched the hall of fame game the other night.
