When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Defying the penalty in exhibition games is cute
But it just cost the Saints 38 yard line field position and a titans short field

Let your play do your talking

Must you really dunk the ball?

I'm sure Payton will have a few words for him

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Reverse

Comical

Same result

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

How do you know Payton didn't green light it

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Because the 2nd time he did it SP chewed him a new one!

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

that i couldn't see.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I think a 6 figure team penalty will cure that stupid a$$ move .... TEAM not individual.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

He won't do it in the regular season. If SP really did get on his case about it, he probably won't do it again preseason either.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I like the ref in back already reaching for his flag.

Juvenile & selfish. I'm not happy about this. Just play, Jimmy.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Preseason. Don't trip.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I am more worried about potentially rolling his ankle

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I'm not trippin' any more than Sean Payton is. Act like you've been there 40+ times before.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Sean Payton's post-game conference was brutal. Definitely not a green light. lol
Let's put it this way, I think Graham and others will be running extra laps/torture the remainder of pre-season practices.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Won't happen again I'm pretty sure.. He was just having fun with the crowd

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I don't care if its the preseason or the not. I am never okay with you taking stupid penalties like that.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

It's not a stupid penalty. It's stupid that they have the penalty. Aim your anger where it belongs....... Graham knows what he's doing. If it hurts the team he won't do it. It was a meaningless preseason game. You have to have fun where you can.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

He will dunk again in Atlanta on opening week and I will cheer him on.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

It was but I loved how SP owned the penalties. Look, there's no way refs throw that many flags in the regular season. Like the extra points, they're using preseason as a "test" and to make a point. It complete bull in my opinion.

Even the accidental hand to the face were being called... If the NFL wants to use the preseason as an experimental period then I don't need to pay $150 per ticket!!!



That was my point. Payton allowed it (at least once) so he could practice longer kicks)

LOL. He'll get that cheer from me if we've got the game locked. :itsgood:

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

preseason game 3 is the game were we all know the regulars get ready for the season. this should have been Jimmy's present to the home town fan. one last time around before the league once again goes no fun to make sure the commercials air and the game gets over on time.

started with overtime changes - wimp wins.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I am happy for the no dunk rule. Just a matter of time before someone pops an ACL doing it. But that aside, I had no issue with Jimmy cutting up a little, let him have his fun for now. It really isn't a bad idea to get pushed 15 yards back during the preseason on kickoffs, give the team a chance to see what type of coverage guys they have.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Yup, i saw that.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I will too...WHO DAT!!!

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

He's a special player, but he's still just a kid in a man's body. Still has a lot of maturing to do.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Please... stop it, No Fun "Purists" of the No Fun League.

Jimmy put up a show for the fans, on a preseason game that means absolutely nothing on the regular season/playoffs W-L standings.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

They weren't bad calls. We were never shown the re-plays of them but Payton during the presser said they were good calls and he didn't disagree with them.

1st two pre-season games gone and this team looks like an 8-8 team; no discipline, D looks bad and gets carved up by no name QBs two weeks in a row. Can't evaluate the offense without seeing Brees but over not bad on their part.

Jimmy needs to get it together, dunking once probably didn't get much heat from coach. The second time he got yelled at by coach, but more disturbing was his reaction to getting yelled at. Coaching staff needs to get control now before it's too late.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

I'm sure this is just a preseason thing. I doubt he will do this in the regular season.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

let's see

do you dunk in Atlanta?

A) great in your face to the league and your rival who ratted on you

B) stupid penalty, you might get hurt, Devon Hester gets a chance to return a kickoff

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

It is a preseason game. He wouldn't do it in a real game and I am sure Payton knew all about it and maybe even encouraged it. I thought it was a hilarious **** you to Goodell loll. Plus he got a rise out of the fans.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Hell yeah! Geaux Jimmy! Dunk that *****! Do it again in Atlanta!

Oh yeah...he's gonna do it again a few times in the regular season. I won't care unless it costs us a game. Screw Roger!

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

He was MVP for the Titans last night. Spotted them 14 points through giving up field position on kickoffs. Truth is, the Saints have looked VERY undisciplined all through this preseason. If they are being penalized, arguing and throwing tantrums at home in front of a friendly crowd, what do you think they will look like on the road in a hostile stadium, against a really good team, when it counts and is really difficult?

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

He made his statement. Don't know why it was necessary twice. Move on.

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

Get over it, it's the FKN rule. You make umpteen million dollars a year to play a damn game and you're crying because you can't dunk the ball over the goal posts? Grow the f@ck up!

Re: When is Jimmy Graham going to smarten up?
 

They will make them squeal like a pig.
