Q: What are Roberto Wallace's chances of making the team? Brandon [Marshall] seems to like him. Suzi O'Keefe.
A: The undrafted rookie receiver from San Diego State has an outside shot at making the 53-man roster. That will mostly depend on how Patrick Turner holds up the rest of camp, and so far Turner has been doing better that he did last year (when he made it purely off potential and third-round draft status). If he gets cut out of camp, the 6-4, 225-pound Wallace is exactly the sort of player the Dolphins would look to stash on their practice squad, but then they might have some competition out there for him at that point. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Monday that Wallace had jumped out at him with his ability to stretch the field, something the Dolphins don't exactly have in abundance now that Ted Ginn Jr. is gone. Said Sparano: "I've noticed him vertical. I've noticed him down the field. I've noticed him competing for contested balls that are in the air. He's certainly made an impression right now as far as that goes. Young guy that's smart at the position, and he's trying to get better every day out here."
