    Pouncey: I think he is a coward (Wallace)

    Im glad he said it. Tired of the "know it alls" saying its Philbin not able to handle strong personalties. Pouncey is as strong as they get and he sings praise of his coaches and organization.

    I guess we can put this to bed on what the players actually thought about him 'walking out' on the team.

    He had a lot of defenders around here. People Saying he was benched or didn't quit or whatever. There were posters saying the players respected Wallace. Maybe Gibson and some others did... but that bought them a trip out of town right along with him.

    Unfortunately Pouncey has never known political correctness.... in this case it gives us the inside story.

    Pound for pound Wallace was one of the toughest guys on the team. Gotta disagree w the Pouncey's on this one.

    It's not difficult to handle a strong personality that agrees with you. It's how you deal with those that stand against you that's the key.

    Considering Wallace had a reputation for not fighting for the ball i wouldn't go overboard on him being "tough".

    Supporting Aaron Hernandez.
    Abusing Martin.

    Pouncey is a loser.

    I mean was anyone really defending him? He's a diva WR. Some people just wanted to keep him anyways b/c the team is better with him than it is now, and we already paid the worst part of his contract. I don't really like Wallace, and haven't liked him since his first game where he *****ed about not getting the ball, but I still would rather have him and another big body WR in the draft than have what we have now. We better hope whoever we draft steps up, as does Cameron & Clay (if he comes back).

    Apparently Mike Wallace should've solved his beef with Tannehill & Lazor with a loaded gun at an industrial park. Then the Pounceys would be merchandizing for him instead of calling him a coward on television.

    Pouncey doesn't strike me as the type to criticize a player instead of a coach publicly just to gain favor. tend to think if he thought coaching was the issue he may have skirted the question about Wallace if not outright blamed coaching.

    Tough? Sure. He had some play extensions that were bananas. Toughest on the team? Not ..even ...slightly... close... and i was a fan of Wallaces and defended him while he was here for the most part . This needed to be said and I'm glad they did. The guy had way too much 'quit' in him when he was here.

    It doesn't matter that its the Pounceys. Forget the words they are using. The only thing that matters is that they aren't happy.

    The narrative that has been pushed since that game is that players were all ok with what happened and it was all Philbin's fault.

    This certainly pokes a hole in that theory.

    Mike Wallace tweeting Maurkice's words were taken out of context in that excerpt of the the full interview. Says they were speaking in general terms, not directed at him.

    If this is so, it is some shamefully pathetic manipulation by the media, which is nothing surprising sadly.

    Watched the interview. Pretty much what the video shows, with a little extra stuff. Never mention Wallace by name, but sure looks like Maurkice is referring about him and about the alleged quitting incident. Doesn't appear manipulation by CBS4 with respect to the excerpt released.

    Though I'll say they don't show the question and just cut straight to the statement.

    I'm happy about the Mike Wallace trade.

    But while Mike Wallace may be a "coward", throwing your former teammate under the bus makes you an unprofessional "rat".

    (Both Pouncey brothers are former teammates of Mike Wallace).

    I prefer the Russell Wilson approach about the Percy Harvin trade. Be professional & positive about it, wish your former teammate good luck, avoid saying anything negative, even smile and flat out lie to the media and claim that you never heard anything negative about your former teammate. You may hate your former teammate, but nobody likes a "snitch". Your current teammates will have greater respect for you, if they know that you'll cover for them in public, even in a bitter dispute.

    If you're going to sling dirt about your former teammate, you should probably wait until everyone involved is retired from football.

    That's true. Based on Mike Wallace's twitter comments, the reporter's question may have been more general, like "How would you feel if you had a teammate quit on you, and refuse to play?"

    And Maurkice Pouncey responds "In my opinion, he's a coward. I never want a guy on my team like that, man, to walk out on your band of brothers."

    I guess we'll have to see the whole interview.

    Yeah, never said Pouncey was one of Philbin's problems. I did say Wallace was however (i.e. Wallace probably doesn't agree with Pouncey's view on this).

    Harvin had Migraine issues and didnt have a "quitter" tag over him so im not sure what your point is using Harvin as an example.

    I am a supporter of Wallace because I felt he was the best WR on the roster and I never blamed him for the fact he was signed to be the deep ball threat on a team with a QB who can't throw a decent deep ball.

    As far as defending him for what happened against the Jets. No clear explanation of exactly why he was taken out of the game has ever been stated publicly.

    If he was taken out of the game because he had words with Tannehill and Philbin. That was a ridiculous reason to put him on the bench for the rest of the game.

    If on the otherhand he flatly refused to go back in the game. I have no problem with the Dolphins trading him.

    I would just like to know exactly what happened and the reason he was taken out of the game before I blame the incident completely on Wallace.

    I'm not talking about migraine issues.

    There was a locker room revolt, led by Percy Harvin, because Russell Wilson wasn't "black enough" (all his closest friends are white, all his gfs are white, etc).

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...eammates-say-russell-wilson-isnt-black-enough

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...of-seattle-locker-room-divide-in-unusual-way/

    http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/08/26/russell-wilson-entourage-seattle-seahawks


    As with the Charles Barkley and RG3 situation, sometimes black players want to know if another black teammate is "down with the cause", or if he's a "cornball brotha".

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uw-8l234yY

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Del1nWC56CQ


    After Percy Harvin was traded to end this locker room cancer, Russell Wilson was asked about it in a press conference. And Russell Wilson said he never heard about the issue, while smirking in a way that said "of course I'm lying, to cover for my former teammate".

    My point is that it's more professional to cover for your current & former teammates over disputes, rather than throwing them under the bus.

    That said, the Pouncey comments seem to be have taken out of context by the media.

    I think its pretty obvious they were referring indirectly about Wallace. The question was asked in a general sense and the answers were in general. Did we ever hear what exactly happened when Wallace left the game or do we know? Bye the way thanks Sumlit for the link.

    I agree with most of this. The only difference being that Mike Pouncey knows exactly what happened and he is supporting management. I can't imagine any scenario where 2 of Mike's former teammates throw him under the bus for no reason.

    I was just wondering what everyone thinks. Which was the bigger loss, Brandon Marshall or Mike Wallace? Just curious since they both left under similar circumstances.

    Personally, I think Brandon Marshall was the bigger loss because we drafted Tannehill right after he left, and he's the type of receiver Tannehill would probably play well with. With Wallace, we already know Tannehill isn't the right type of QB to best utilize Wallace's talents.

    "Free Hernandez"....

    I don't think they should be talking about anyone's character. I don't like Wallace, but he's gone, what's the point of Pouncey talking now.
