Wallace's Lack of Effort Almost Costs the Steelers the ball Game





Early in the first quarter yesterday I would have gladly put my foot up Mike Wallace's ass! I don't mind fumbles, interceptions, or other mistakes as long as the EFFORT is there. Wallce cost the Steelers field position if nothing else because he wouldn't lay out for a pass that he could have caught. Instead he tried to run to the ball and it bounced off his fingertips. The proper amount of EFFORT to be applied would have been to dive for the ball which would have made for an easy catch since he was so wide open. INSTEAD he wanted to stay on his feet to be able to run with the ball after the catch. But guess what? There was no catch. I played WR and was taught to never leave your feet for the ball unless you HAVE to. Here, he HAD to. Next play Ben fumbles and it's 6-0 Miami when it could easily have been 3-3 or 7-3 Steelers and all that replay mess at the end would have been avoided. Mike you're on my list!
