Although Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin promised to expand Mike Wallace's role after a one-catch performance in the season opener, the big-ticket free-agent acquisition has been a high-profile flop through eight weeks. Wallace is third in the NFL in drops, with seven. Source: NFL.com DaBears22's Take: While Wallace has a lot of drops, maybe it's a chemistry problem with Tannehill or not enough deep passes thrown to Wallace. I don't think there is a question that Wallace has skills, just need to fine tune it down in Miami.
He won't go over the middle and is a poor route runner in general and tannehill doesn't look deep for him very much. So yes. Wallace has places that he would be good, Miami isn't one of them
Yep, many scratched their heads when Miami signed him to that large contract. Not only the money but how Wallace would fit their system. I think he has helped their offense Quite a bit but mainly as a decoy and that Is an awfully expensive decoy.
