Jimmy Graham

Is it just me, or has he been disappearing in the second half all year? Is he under triple coverage or something?

We have been out-adjusted at half time in every game this year.

Totally agree with "W" on this one...

And as Emmett Smith would say of our defense is "debacled"

It seems like he isn't trying and his fire is gone. I was wondering as well. It seems like he is afraid to take a hit now

Do explain how it looks like he's not trying... and he does not look tentative on the field at all.

I 100% disagree with you on this. JG has dropped a few passes nothing to get fired up over that. Plus it's just not the same when you're 0-4 and the other teams just has to point to the score boards...

We start winning the Beast Jimmy Graham will come back out

So he only gets fired up if we are winning. We were winning 24-6 against kc and I didnt see anything. It's more than that. I think he is hiding an injury, maybe his back or the huge collisions are taking a toll.

I thought I made that clear. He used to have fire when he caught the ball, he was hard to bring down, and I saw him like swat a ball down when he was going to take a hit. Out of character for him.

Uhh.. I'm not sure we just watched the same game. He had plenty of fire and did not shy away from contact. You apparently missed his scream after that first down conversion in the first quarter and a stiff arm he laid on someone on a pass toward the sideline.

And as of last week he led the league in drops. Moore and Sproles probably do now, but for the best Tight End in the league he has been dropping a lot of balls. Something is not right with him. He used to throw people out of the way and would fire up the whole team and now he is just quiet. He is still great but something is definitely missing.
