Mike Wallace is on the fast track to replacing Santonio Holmes as the Steelers' primary deep passing threat. Byron Leftwich needed only one practice to realize that. During a 7-on-7 passing drill recently in a voluntary practice, Wallace beat his man cleanly, but Leftwich's pass landed behind the receiver. The timing and precision needed to correctly execute the fly pattern weren't there. Wallace is convinced the transition will take less time than expected, given he's replacing a former first-round draft pick who caught 79 passes last season and had a combined 18 touchdown receptions the last three seasons. "I feel like they believe I can do the same things Santonio did," Wallace said. "I don't feel like there's anything Santonio did that I can't do. I'm still running some of the routes I ran last year, it's just that I have more of them to run." Source: The Sporting News
Any info on who he beat? If it was Gay, then it's really not all that impressive. I could beat Gay deep.
gay really isnt that bad...i think he bounces back big time this season. wallace smokes literally everyone in practice, hes uncatchable. word is he and leftwich are pretty good in sync, which sounds alot better than the dynamic duo of leftwich to freaking randle el
i think there is a joke in here somewhere but i just can't figure out how to phrase it .............. regardless, wallace has obviously been impressive and that's what made holmes expendable.
yes, anytime you put the 3 words 'deep', 'gay', and 'beat' in the same sentence, there has to be a joke, i just can't figure it out right now ..................... :icon_cheesygrin:
