Steelers Notebook
Wide receiver Mike Wallacehttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/mike-wallace/304eecdf-1b60-4dc4-9cd8-7808d9f5c97a/) has no problem using his speed to go downfield and beat a corner one on one to make a huge catch. It’s something he has been doing since he started playing football and he doesn’t plan on changing.
“That is what I pride myself on,” said Wallace. “I have been doing that since high school, getting behind everybody. I am going to continue doing that until someone shows me otherwise, that’s what I will do.”
But to be a complete weapon in the Steelers offense, he is going to have to count on more than his speed.
“It’s not about the big catch. I have seen him do that enough to know that it’s part of his game,” said Coach Mike Tomlin. “It’s about the development of the complete game for him. I would be more excited about him catching a hitch and turning it up field and creating more yards after. I’m challenging him to be a complete player, and he’s embracing that challenge. There’s no question he can get behind people. He’s been doing that all his life. I’m looking for steps in other areas for him in terms of a well-rounded game.”............................................ ..
