Jimmy Graham: "Blocking 75% of my job now"

"It's very important for me to be a part of that here because that's about 75 percent of the offense here, and if you have a back like [Marshawn Lynch], you want to be in there on those explosive runs and you want to be part of that," Graham said Monday.

Jimmy Graham of Seattle Seahawks -- Blocking 75 percent of my job now

Using one of the best receiving TE's of all time to block 75% of the time...I find this not even somewhat believable.

I'm not drinking the cool aid.

ESPN showed some Graham blocking today and he couldn't block little corners. I don't see him ever blocking much. He will help Seattle in the red zone at the very lest though.

Let's have a test.
Line Jimmy up and go at it.
Then
Line JJ Watt up on go at it.

Who would be / or is the better TE?

Graham's after-Saints life will mirror Meachem's!

Graham to block for Lynch 75% of the time?
Good luck with that

Graham is not going to fare well against the defenses in that division. I give him 6 games before he is nothing more than a decoy.

Seattle threw the least amount of passes last year out of all 32 teams. Graham will be lucky if he sees the ball thrown his way more than 3x a game..

And with his lack of blocking ability, the newness of his arrival in Seattle may wear off fast.
