He has become an absolute mugger as of late.

Graham needs to stop slam-dunking through the goal posts when he scores, too. I keep waiting for him to come down wrong and lame himself for celebrating.

Alaska

And Jenkins needs to STOP trying to slap the ball out of the receivers hands after the receiver is already back sitting on the bench.

I do not see how he didn't get called for unsportsmanlike like conduct the way he handled him self after Meachems TD.

I think Graham will be fine. He was in the game making decent blocks. Staying off it a couple of weeks should be enough. If he was hurt that bad he would not have been out there period.

Obviously I am bummed if he is hurt and hope he gets 110% better, but on the other hand I thought it was kind of a good thing the other night to show the world that we could win "without" Jimmy Graham and his dunk.... I love the guy as much as anybody here but I think they were just about getting to the point of being a little too reliant on him, a little too predictable, too automatically going to him, a little TOO MUCH of the good thing...now other teams will still be afraid of our offense even if Jimmy is not in the game.

What we want is for defenses to be freaking out about EVERYBODY that the Saints line up against them, from top of the roster to the bottom, not just one or two guys like Coston and Graham and then teams feeling like they can key in and shut the Saints offense down with just those two guys. We want other teams to feel hopeless and crestfallen in the film room, no matter who is in or out of the game that particular week!

Me too.

Johnny Patrick should be back by week 7, and I believe Casillas & Hicks should be at or near 100% by then.

WhoDat!

I think he isn't yet healthy enough to play, which was the reason he got cut in the first place and received the injury settlement from the team.

But often injury setlements are because the player wants to play this season.

And I read somewhere that the team that settles with him cannot resign him
until after 6 (I think) games have passed.

I can't remember what his injury was.

ADDED: Here was his final tweet...

Marquis Johnson‏@GQuis2425

#INJURY SETTLEMENT DONE ;((GOODBYE #WHODAT NATION! HAD A HELL OF A PRESEASON WITH U GUYS PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOR HEALTH 3 WEEKS ILL BE READY.
