Ed: Wallace, Mendenhall React Today

Ed: Wallace, Mendenhall React Today

Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenhall today reacted to their changing roles with the Steelers with a collective shrug.
        Wallace, the undisputed starter at split end sine 2010 and a Pro Bowler in 2011, is listed only as a possible starter next to Emmanuel Sanders on the team’s official depth chart.
       “I don’t know, you have to ask Coach T,’’ Wallace said about Mike Tomlin’s new depth chart. “I just play. It really doesn’t matter. I still have to do what I have to do, regardless of what the situation is. Coach does everything for a reason.’’
      Mendenhall, a first-round draft pick in 2008 who has been the  team’s starting halfback since 2009, was demoted to third-string by Tomlin this week. Tomlin announced that Jonathan Dwyer will start at Baltimore Sunday.
   “I’m just gong to do whatever I’m asked to,’’ said Mendenhall, who ran for 1,273 yards in 2010. “I don’t really think much of it.  I’ve been in a lot of positions so I’m just approaching this week as I approach every week.”
