Graham out 2-3 weeks

B_Dub_Saint · 10-12-2014, 01:11 PM

I wonder how Crabtree will be inserted in this offense. Jimmy being out is not good no matter how you spin it.

not good that jg is out but its time for a reality check for drew and payton and jg himself, this will help it will bring us back to what we know is our offense . jimmy will get wide open when he does return; you will see.

We all seen Graham not reach for catchable passes when a defender was near; some of Brees' interceptions have been because of it.

Hopefully he will toughen up and learn that he is going to get hit anyway so he might as well catch the ball.

Exactly

He does it all the time, let's the ball bounce of his hands and turns and looks around while the DB is running the other way with the ball

Well the bye came at a good time for JG, I still like our chances better with him on the field.

Ingram back, Graham out. We have Robinson and PT. We have one of the best run blocking O-Lines in the NFL. Watson & Hill & Crabtree aren't superstars, but they do the job of an NFL TE pretty well.

I like our odds.

Will he back for the SanFran game?

Curse of the big mo contract...

Must be serious as he was able to play through injuries last season...

There's some merit to both opinions and undoubtedly a QB of Brees' talent would be able to take advantage of the opportunity and work on developing a more balanced passing attack. The Lions are going through a similar situation with Calvin and it is wreaking havoc on Stafford's game though, despite the wide range of offensive weapons made available to him this season.

Hehehe ... there used to be a picture floating around here of Graham dragging a Lion defender across the goal line in the 2011/12 playoff matchup ... yeah, he might be a little older, banged up or something, but I wouldn't go so far as to label him "soft",
