I should point out that I didn't read the pay per view stats, I only saw someone's recap. But it was a reputable poster. |

Re: Saints' Graham looks to improve blocking as preseason opener approaches
There is no doubt he could improve his blocking, but at what cost? His body type makes it difficult to get leverage. At 6'7" he is simply too tall in relation to his body weight as compared to many other TE's that are more accomplished blockers. But, it is that height and body style that make him the great receiver that he is. I would much rather see him as the average blocker that he truly is and remain the offensive weapon he truly is.

All true AG, and I like that he wants to improve. As long as it doesn't hurt other parts of his game it's all good.

Re: Saints' Graham looks to improve blocking as preseason opener approaches
There were times also when he was kinda standing there looking for a person to block as the runner got tackled right behind him. fire out of the stance and lay the lumber. oh thats right he is to tall fire out the block. at least stand in the way and push the guy on a consistent bases then you are doing better jimmy. I do not expect pancakes from jimmy at all. just some bread and butter and a bit of jam

Standing there looking for a person to block means that there was no one there to block. Get over it. You are beginning to sound foolish with this Graham bashing. |
