Pittsburgh Steelers Sign Markus Wheaton

Behind the Steel Curtain — The Steelers have again jumped their June 1 signing deadline, inking third round WR Markus Wheaton four year deal today. Wheaton looks to replace departed wide receiver Mike Wallace as the go-to deep threat, and count me among those hoping he wins the third spot on the depth chart this year. Wheaton has speed, route-running abilities, and fits the mold of the small, speedy wide receiver that has flourished in Pittsburgh recently. Wheaton is a superb route-runner and has the personality and leadership that the Steelers have to hope the Cash Back crew will provide. Wheaton, like the rest...

Ryan Tannehill speaks to media after OTA day one

The Phinsider — Quarterback Ryan Tannehill (On what he's learned about Dustin Keller, Brandon Gibson and Mike Wallace so far) - "Yeah you know we're still learning, but I'm excited about what I see from those guys. They're all getting a grasp on the offense and we're starting to get a lot of reps with each other, so (we're going to) continue to work that to get better. I'm excited about what they bring to the team and what they showed today." Last year at this time my head was spinning. I was just trying to figure out how things worked. So being in it a year, I am completely comfortable. -Ryan Tan...

Rules of OTAs within the NFL

Behind the Steel Curtain — Organized Training Activities (OTAs) are voluntary. Fines are not issued for absences, and players missing these sessions are not viewed as disruptive - unless that player is Mike Wallace, who's reportedly going to be in attendance with Miami's entire offseason practice schedule. There is no direct contact permitted but OTA sessions include on-the-field coaching. Helmets and elbow and knee pads are allowed but OTAs are not "fully padded" practices. Basically, players can bump into each other, and incidental contract isn't a worry. Steelers First OTA Session Preview A rundown of som...

Mike Wallace - Wallace feels chemistry with QB will be fine

The Huddle — Miami Dolphins WR Mike Wallace said he does not think building chemistry with QB Ryan Tannehill will not be too difficult and expects the chemistry to be fine once training camp begins. Wallace said he works with Tannehill after each practice. Huddle Up: Wallace has averaged 65-1,095-9 over the past 3 seasons, and there's no reason to think he can't reach or eclipse those figures in 2013 -- even with a new QB in a new system.

The Phinsider — Over the weekend, there was a lot of coverage on Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill discussing one of his first throwing sessions with wide receiver Mike Wallace, who joined the team in free agency this year, started by a report from the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson.

Dolphins Ryan Tannehill is excited after practicing with Mike Wallace

Behind the Steel Curtain — Hearing a quarterback gush over a receiver isn't exactly rare, especially when the quarterback is speaking in front of a mass of microphones and digital recorders. The "man bites dog" version of the story would be something to the effect of "oh, he's terrible. Way slower than I thought, what was waste." Today on BTSC: Steelers/Ravens rivalry Wallace in Miami Bell vs. Brown Clark high on Steelers draft In the case of Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, he's going with the former, tried-and-true approach.

Charles Woodson: Dolphins' "final piece of the puzzle" for a perfect offseason

The Phinsider — It took mere minutes for the Dolphins to make their first splash of the offseason, bringing in receiver Mike Wallace. Not long after, GM Jeff Ireland went younger and faster in completely revamping the linebacking corps. After that, a few solid depth players were brought in that could also make a major impact. Cornerback Brent Grimes was brought in on a one-year deal, that depending on his health, could be worth gold for this team in the long run. Then came the draft. Miami continued to turn heads by trading up for who they felt was the best defensive player in college football. Dion J...

Steelers' offense must repeat last year’s reading assignment

Behind the Steel Curtain — Apparently what Steeler Nation should have focused on was not certain plays or injuries, but the offensive skill players themselves. Much has already been written about fractures in the locker room, and a lack of focus on the field, and many have taken the opportunity given by Mike Wallace's departure via free agency to demonize him and blame him for being if not the culprit, then a contributory source of the perceived problems in the locker room. Teammate: 'Woodley wasn't in shape last year, he was awful' Unnamed teammate critical of Woodley After the season, there was much in...
