I thought Wallace looked explosive when he got his hands on the ball. I'd like to see him get as many touches as possible this pre season

Who wouldn't? Bet your butt he'll see the dark side of the side moon before he gets chances for 15 catches this year no matter how many touches in pre.
Sweed wasn't ready for primetime due to bench rot. Wallace, Hood and Redzone /Tank will be the same.

I do believe Sweed's devastating block on Ivy in Raven game meant all the world to him and you WILL see him as a player this year. Saw where someone mentioned he is a blocker, and a good one at that. Anyone conquer?

So you don't think he'll get 15 touches in the regular season if he's our #1 kickoff/punt returner?

[i]Should have made better point - as a receiver he won't see that many touches.
KO and punts - who knows? Burnett or Wallace or whomever they choose there.
But as receiver, I don't think BA will use him much. That is why Sweed wasn't ready for playoffs, I believe. I believe he and Sweed need to see the ball 4-6 times per game combined at least: to learn, to adapt to pro game, to be ready when big time comes, and to keep drives alive instead of Arians just bailing out on 3rd and 3's, 3rd & 5's with his insipid runs or long tosses going nowhere.

Obviously someone needs to grab punts and KO's. Think Carey Davis will be return guy like '08?
