Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace took to Twitter (@Wallace_17daKid) Monday night in an attempt to clear up recent comments he thinks have been taken out of context.
Apparently people are claiming he?s been taking shots at his former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here are Wallace?s three tweets on the topic:
?I want it to be known that I have nothing but love and respect for everybody in the Pittsburgh Steelers oraganization that is a A1
?Organization over there those guys are my brothers for life beyond football so to all the people who think I take shots at them it is
?Totally misleading idk people keep making it out like I wanna bash them I am forever grateful for everything they have ever done for me?
During last week?s OTA (Organized Team Activities) Wallace remarked there?s more of a ?college mentality? around the Dolphins, which he said is different than the Steelers because Pittsburgh is an older team and Miami is a young team.
Wallace, who signed a five-year, $60 million contract with the Dolphins, also revealed he rented his home while in Pittsburgh, but he?s buying a house in South Florida.
Earlier in the month Wallace he said Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, while not in the same class as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, can probably throw the ball ?a little bit farther than Ben.?
Although none of the comments seemed mean-spirited they haven?t been received well in some circles.
Here?s Wallace?s ?college mentality? comment, which was in response to being asked what the Dolphins need to do to become a winning team:
?We just have to stay hungry like we are. I feel like every day, everybody comes in with a great attitude and really works. We?re a young team, so that?s all we know. Everybody has the college mentality around here, so it?s a lot different coming from where I come from with the older guys. I think everybody is hungry, everybody wants to get better, and everybody wants to be what we need to be to have a winning record.?
Here?s what Wallace said when asked whether Tannehill has any similar qualities, such as arm strength, to Roethlisberger and whether Tannehill could develop into being as good as Roethlisberger.
?Oh, yeah, definitely. It?s funny they both played wide receiver at the beginning of college so they kind of both know what we like to do out there so we have the chemistry already from a wide receiver standpoint. And they both have strong arms. Ryan can really fling it. I think from a deep ball perspective Ryan may be able to throw the ball a little bit farther than Ben.
?Obviously Ben is more experienced in a gametime situation but the way it?s going it won?t take long for him to be one of the great quarterbacks at all.?
Wallace's words didn?t seem enough to cause problems, but obviously they were enough to compel him to use Twitter to defend himself.
