According to Pittsburgh legend, Ben Roethlisberger (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6981418) called Mike Tomlin last spring to change his coach’s mind about letting Emmanuel Sanders (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6981421) go to New England for third-round compensation.

Not all of it’s true, according to Tomlin.

“Ben did call,” Tomlin said. “But he didn’t change our decision-making process. We wanted to keep Emmanuel all along.”
In two practices this training camp, it’s understandable.........

Some on this site have been suggesating for quite a while that Sanders had above average speed.

On Saturday, Sanders beat William Gay deep...

No surprise there.


...and then in what appeared to be a clear case of Sanders getting more separation with each step he beat Cortez Allen deep.

That could be a good thing or a bad thing.

yup , in one of the many Mike Wallace threads ....

a few people questioned his speed but I am not about to search for it to see exactly who .. I have some suspicions but do not care enough to do the leg work to substantiate it so not naming names

lol, calm down ladies. Sanders beats Gay and Tez deep once a piece in shorts and everyone loses their mind.

"When did Sanders become so fast?"

Hell of a headline for a padless practice

When the Patriots were trying to acquire Sanders they viewed him as a deep threat. I mentioned that several times in the countless Wallace threads and it always got scoffed at.
