No Graham no Sproles

DevDev63 · 06-11-2014, 06:16 AM

Hey everyone first post here, after trying to join another saints forum but never being allowed I'm here! Now hear me out a bit.
Could it be beneficial to not have Graham at camp/otas etc. Only reason I can see this, is you know he's going to come back and be on top of his game. With his absence, Brees will have to focus on his other receivers more and possibly that will have a nice effect going into the regular season.
Same with Sproles to a certain extent, he's just not coming back... thoughts?

Welcome to B&G and you make a good point. Both Graham and Sproles have been extremely frequent targets of Brees, but the additional time spent with the others could prove to be a net gain.

I think it's great we're getting Josh Hill a lot of reps.

Agreed100%, Balance, and it allows others to get more even more involved. The absence of Graham will also mean more reps for Brees and Hill.
The coaches obviously see a lot of potential in Hill

I do too. I liked Hill in minimal action last year. Not as flashy as Graham, but I don't remember him dropping balls that hit his hands or alligator it.

I also think Cooks is going to be a better version of Sproles.

Welcome a board.

Now you owe a select few of us a $17,000 dinner. Let me know when you are available for that.

It sure can't hurt to get everyone some additional practice. Even if it means Graham comes in with a beer belly eventually.
