Saints push to get Jimmy Graham back into offense

Attached Thumbnails · 10-23-2013, 08:00 AM

Last week’s off week gave Saints fans time to recover from an emotional, last-second loss nearly two Sundays ago at New England.

That’s the problem.

It’s allowed Who Dats plenty of time to over think Jimmy Graham’s no-catch performance against Bill Belichick and Co.

Holy Fleur de lis!

While losing is never fun, and neither is being roughed up by a cornerback whose helmet barely reaches your shoulder pads, Graham will be a better player after his awful game at Gillette Stadium.

No player, no Hall of Famer, scores every game, reaches the quarterback every Sunday, converts every field goal. That’s not the NFL. That’s video games.

“Jimmy is going to make his plays every game, and I think it’s on us to find creative ways to get him in the positions we want him in order to make those plays,” said quarterback Drew Brees, who this season has passed for 1,958 yards and 14 touchdowns. Graham has proved to be his top target.

Graham is too big, too talented, too intimidating — too motivated — to allow four quarters to ruin all that he’s accomplished in his rise from college basketball rebounder to All-Pro tight end.

Hope we can start establishing the run which is going to open things up a little for all our recievers. Graham will learn from this I am sure. Seems like he has to start playing physical now as they had previously been laying off of him.

Doesn't sound amazingly good but it's only humpday.

I hope they hold him out the next two games and let him get 100% for our conference play.
