Mike Wallace Blasts The Miami Dolphins Offense
By Cory Buck
Mike Wallace expressed his displeasure with the Miami Dolphins following the team’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8.
The Miami Dolphins may have beaten intrastate foe Jacksonville Jaguars, but don’t expect Mike Wallace to be popping corks any time soon. Still upset with how the team played, Wallace called the offense an expletive term while voicing his frustration with the team’s inability to let Mike Wallace be Mike Wallace.

“We didn’t do nothing,” Wallace said per the Miami Herald. “Our offense was [expletive]. We’ve got to do better.”
If you’re going to make Mike Wallace the highest paid wide receiver against the cap in the league in 2014, you need to play to his strengths, which are pretty obvious for Wallace. He’s a fiend for the deep ball and he’s not getting deep passes this year.
“That’s what I do; I’m built for that. I’m not excited about [catching a deep pass Sunday]. That’s what I do,” Wallace snapped when it was pointed out that he actually got a 50-yard completion against the Jaguars.
Wallace wouldn’t get any more specific than that when venting his frustrations, deferring to the coaches when asked about his frustrations. “I run the plays that they call.”
The Miami Dolphins sport an offense tallying the 25th most passing yards per game this season, which explains Wallace’s frustration. Ryan Tannehill just hasn’t yearned for the deep ball, which limits Wallace. That said, the receiver is having a solid season with 32 catches, 418 yards, and five touchdowns.
Much like the rest of the offense though, Wallace’s feelings on those numbers can be easily summarized. “It could be a whole lot better.”
