During his time in Miami, receiver Mike Wallace complained from time to time about his role in the offense. After three games in Minnesota, Wallace isn’t griping. Yet.

On Wednesday, Wallace told reporters he’s not seeing as many balls thrown his way as he saw when he was with the Dolphins. Again, he’s not griping. Yet.

“This is a totally different offense that we’re running,” Wallace said. “We have a whole different type of running back.”

Wallace is pragmatic about the impact of Adrian Peterson on an offense.

“When you have a guy running the way he’s running, you keep running,” Wallace said.

The success of the running game is opening up other opportunities, and Wallace already has realized “there’s not too many double teams out there.”

He also said that the team on Sunday against the Chargers used another “two percent” of the playbook, up from 25 percent. Which means there’s 73 percent to go.

Wallace, with 12 catches for 150 yards and no touchdowns, is down from his three-game performance in 2014: 17 receptions, 211 yards, two scores. But the team is 2-1 and moving in the right direction, which makes it hard for anyone to complain about how much he is or isn’t getting the ball.

With a guy like Peterson in the locker room, Wallace could be less inclined to sound off if/when he becomes frustrated with his role. And if Peterson won’t tell Wallace to shut up, always-blunt head coach Mike Zimmer will.
