Kipper : Mike Wallace Blames The Steelers Offense For Loss Of Focus

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
It's Not Mike Wallace's fault that he has dropped the ball this season multiple times per game it seems and can't seem to run routes that gets him open more than not... No sir, it is the fault of the Pittsburgh Steelers Offense because obviously Mike Wallace has ADD and needs Ritalin
Quote:
“I’ve never been a guy who dropped balls or just lose focus,” Wallace said somewhat apologetically. “The first three years I was always involved, so you just warmed up in games, and you were just into it.
“But when you don’t get the ball for two-and-half quarters, you lose focus. But that’s the type of offense this is. We’re spreading it around, so you’re not going to get as many targets. When you get them, you have to make the best of them.”


:jagoff:

“When I don’t get the ball for a certain amount of time, I lose focus sometimes,” he said. “It hurts me when it’s time for me to make a play.”

Quote:
The toughest thing is staying positive through three quarters because you’re not going to get the ball every time,” Wallace said as the team prepares to face San Diego on Sunday at Heinz Field. “You have to be ready to deliver when it comes your way. That’s been the biggest thing I’ve had to learn this year.”

How about Mike Wallace try doing this...
GET OPEN!!!
If you get open, the ball will come your way more often. If you're not open, then the ball isn't going to come to you. You have 2 things to do out there on the field and the first one is getting open so that your QB has a target to throw to. If you're not getting open, you won't get the ball thrown to you at which point, don't start crying to everyone else that you can stay "focuses". If you have a focusing problem then go do a job that keeps you bust all day long like working the Drive-Thru window at McDonald's
Quote:
“We spread the ball around more than we did in the past,” said Wallace, who missed all of training camp because of a contract dispute. “So it’s not one or two people with yards. Nobody’s numbers just jump out.
“If there’s been a play that I haven’t made this year, it’s been in the second or third quarter when I haven’t been getting too many passes ... and I’m losing focus. I get a little frustrated, and that’s the main thing.”
:cry: There. I shed a tear for Mike Wallace because that is what Mike Wallace wants. He wants you to feel sorry for him. Here's what the Steelers need to do... get rid of this crybaby individual player after the season. Good bye, Mike Wallace. Go somewhere else and "lose focus" there. You're not a team player. A team player makes sure they are relied on at all times. If you aren't catching the ball or having it throw your way, you're blocking. You're keeping focus. You're a decoy for someone else on the team. The ultimate goal is that your team has success. Mike Wallace just wants what is good for Mike Wallace and if ity doesn't happen then it was someone else's fault.
Go to Baltimore. That's their attitude. It's always someone else's fault.

“Sometimes I have to remind them not to forget about me.”
Sometimes you need to be reminded that this is a team sport and not a "me" sport. You held out because you thought you were worth Larry Fitzgerald money and you catch the ball like Braylon Edwards, Limas Sweed and Dwight Stone donated sperm and made a test tube baby. Enjoy the rest of your time here, Mike. It's about done
