– “It just seems like there is always something going wrong every time they’re trying to please Mike Wallace and get him the ball.” – Michael Irvin on the Miami Dolphins offense
– “Mike Wallace is not that guy; that’s why Pittsburgh didn’t give him the Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald-type of money because we can’t just force and get you the ball. You’re a speedster; we have to have specific things and they have to design them.” – Michael Irvin on Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace

Quick Quotes:
– “I talked to a high-ranking source [and] they’re not sure he’s going to play in that Carolina game, which would be the first game he could play. But I was told Aldon knows he’s going to have to earn his way back onto the field. He will not return in his former role. Expect him to be a spot-player who is going to have to work his way back into the lineup.” – Mike Silver on San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith
– “We talked for years about watching those Cowboys not having leaders and it seemed like everybody is dead on the sideline…Dez brought that energy; maybe people don’t like his delivery because it’s not so subdued but I like that energy on the football field.” – Michael Irvin on Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant on the sideline in the game against the Detroit Lions
– “[Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson] will get them in the playoffs, but without more diversity [on offense] they will not go far.” – Michael Irvin on the Detroit Lions
– “That was a team that ran the football well and played good defense. All of sudden they ask Matt Schaub, ‘We need you to win games’ and he was not able to do it with his arm.” – Marshall Faulk on the Houston Texans
