On NFL AM this morning analyst Steve Wyche asks coach Rivera about FA. Wyche reminds Rivera of his (Wyche's) constant "stumping" for the Panthers to sign Wallace, asking the coach is he warm. Coach Rivera responds by stating that Wyche is indeed warm but they must see how FA is going through Mar 12.

This could be nothing, but I want to believe. A signing like Wallace could have major implications during the draft and for our team going forward.

I'd be happy from the standpoint that it shows a shift in philosophy under Gettleman, but I really do not think Wallace is going to be what the hype would have you believe. He is NOT worth what he was asking for. I'd rather address WR in the draft and sign for other positions - CB, DT, etc.

I would tend to agree here.

Mixed feelings on this one.

On one hand, it is nice to go get a receiver that has already blossomed without having to wait 3 years for a rookie to develop.

On another hand, mike wallace has a noted work ethic problem.

On yet another hand, the dolphins are going to throw a lot of money his way.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
