Not sure all new WRs would take targets from Sproles or Graham. Once Payton started trusting Stills he started getting more targets.

You know what I think is predictable? Graham is lined up on the left side of the line and when the ball is snapped he doesn't break into a route. $100 says it's a run to the left side of the field.

I have to question Graham lining up as a blocker anyway, if he can't block why the crap would he be out there, he isn't selling the route or blocking, it's a disaster in the making. We have gotten way to predictable. I also agree with Graham and Sproles getting targeted to much taking away from the recievers, it's like a crutch you get to use to having then become totally dependent on, and that is predictable also. If I as a fan know this I bet most DC's out there have picked it up also and to think our high powered O was flat all year and our D bailed them out all season. I'm not a betting man but at the start of last year you would have told me our O was going to stink up the place and our D would be the reason we went as far as we did, my reply would have been your crazy, now I ask myself with the same cast of characters returning on the O is it going to be better or worse, we need up-grades, I am tired of being predictable.
