Mike Wallace not mad at his coaches, unhappy with himself

Mike Wallace

Miami Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace was doing a little backtracking and clarifying reports that he was pretty upset after their 23-10 win against the Browns on Sunday.

Wallace was reportedly not happy with the way he was used (one catch) and hit reporters with the old ‘ask the coaches’ line in reponse to questions about his day.

On Monday, he changed his tune after he and head coach Joe Philbin had a chat, according to the Miami Herald . “I’m mad at myself just because I didn’t have a good game,” Wallace said Monday, according to The Associated Press, via NFL.com. “That’s all.”

“I was upset with myself,” he added . “It wasn’t really anything else to do with anything. I would’ve told you the same thing regardless. If you ask me about the plays, I don’t really have the answer. That’s all I meant by that.”

To further nip the issue in the bud, OC Mike Sherman said “Mike’s a competitor. He wants to feel a part of the game, as I hope that he would… He came here to be a factor in our season and our success. The fact that he’s disappointed he only caught one ball, that’s expected. I have no problem with that.”
