Nope. I'm enjoying the games too much to go in there.

I agree, might have gotten a steal. When the light really goes on for him, he might be a really good WR.

If Sweed can get his act together, the WR corps should be in good hands post Hines.

That will never happen.

Re: Mike Wallace

i love wallace's attitude, gets up and walks to the huddle, on that long reception he was not jumping up and down, rather he was pissed bc he could not finish the last 5 yds upfield for a TD...take a note from a rookie santonio...thats how you become great, humbleness.....

Re: Mike Wallace

This guy is the heir apparent to Ward.... not Holmes. This guy just fits the organization.

Re: Mike Wallace

He doesn't showboat, he didn't celebrate his first ever 100 yard game and he said he is to blame for not getting the TD on that long pass. Also, he'll play deep threat AND possession receiver willingly...this guy is a Steeler through and through!

I imagine we'll be seeing some 17 jerseys in the stands real soon.

What was up with that? Did he just lose his balance, or his bearings? Was the ball the that close to the sideline?

Different game if we get 7 on that drive.

I'll have to dust off my authentic Gardocki model.

He said his body took him in that direction and that he wasn't really aware of where he was on the field...and that he's got to get better at that.

Fair enough, still... Hate to put our O in an opportunity to waste a nice play like that.

Re: Mike Wallace

i love mike wallace. the guy has been amazing. going back to the preseason i havent seen him drop one pass so far this season. he seems to run very good routes and his speed is unstopable. every game he beats a db badly, weather he gets a good deep pass to catch is another story, but this guy is a serious threat. sweed should take notes from wallace on how to play the position. its going to be pretty sweet to watch holmes and wallace opposite each other in the future.

Re: Mike Wallace

On another note, is Holmes getting into one of his funks like he did in '07? Remember that stretch of games where Ben had INTs and it always seemed to be on plays that involved Holmes? Plus Holmes has been non-existent for long stretches in games this season. Maybe he is being doubled, I don't know.

Holmes had 9 catches in the first game, and 5 vs. Chicago (w/ 3 drops). yesterday I believe the Bungals gave him a lot of attention which allowed Wallace to have a big game. He's gotta focus on catching the ball with the passion he had in the SuperBowl ... after the first game I thought we had an emerging star in the league, but you just can't habitually drop balls like this.
