Enough time to develop more balanced passing game.

Exactly what I was thinking. I love Jimmy, but, don't want him to be the entire offense.

I really believe we will score more in the red zone without Graham. Graham is the only pass catcher that Brees will stare down. Defenses know where Drew is passing the ball in those situations.

Dang. I hear what you guys are saying about developing other options but taking JG off the field is hard for me to think is a good thing.

Foot, I hear you. No, it is not a good thing, but it is so time to readjust. They now have to make adjustments.

Everybody else, right in what you are saying...roll with the punches thing. Saints do not need anymore setbacks.

Thanks mighty for post. I just the report on NFL Network. They did not talk too much about Saints being bye week and all.

I wonder if this is part of Coldton's problem? He is no longer Brees' go to receiver.

Just run the ball. Simple. Here it comes. Stop it if you can.

Re: Graham out 2-3 weeks

Brees forcing the ball to Graham isn't Grahams problem, its Drews.

Losing Graham is huge for us. He was the cover-2 killer. Now teams will simply play more cover-2 and our offense will be more predictable than ever.

I can only hope that we experience the Ewing theory. Everyone else steps it up a notch and we play like a top offense... oh wait, we already are a top offense.

Maybe the defense will step it up now that we've lost our top offensive threat.

Re: Graham out 2-3 weeks

Its sad that he's going to be out a few more weeks, but at least they are not trying to get him back before he is ready and giving him time to get healthy again!

GEAUX SAINTS!
