Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

1 Attachment(s)

Man, this bye week couldn't have come at a better time. Hopefully 2 weeks is enough for Graham to get back to full health.

Quote:

Graham injured his shoulder in the first half of the Saints win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He was able to play through it briefly, but left the game in obvious pain and went to the locker room with trainers.

Graham was ruled out after undergoing x-rays at half time.

All that money tied up in a bum shoulder; better suck it up and earn that check big guy...

You could clearly tell he wasn't allright after that first hit. Hope he gets well soon and are ready to roll after the bye.

Yeah but we call plays to shove it to him three times in a row, and he drops all three. Again, I question play call and don't understand why we don't spread the ball around. After Graham got hurt, suddenly we start spreading the ball around the field.

Re: Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

In the replay I saw, the defender clearly lowers his helmet and spears Graham in the shoulder.

To me the offense looked a lot more unpredictable after Graham left the game. The play of Kenny Stills has been a MAJOR disappointment to me.

Completely agree, brees forces it to Graham on 3rd downs and he's always ends up dropping them

Kenny stills looked scared out their yesterday, like he knew he was going to get hit so he didn't want to catch the pass.

Both Kenny's are a major disappointment this season, I hope its only a sophomore slump.

Graham learned a painful lesson that he can't bulldose a LB the same way he has been doing to all the DB's this season.

I somewhat noticed that too. When they replayed one of his drops, it appears as if he was bracing for the blow instead of making the catch.

We've seen all of our WR's do that though. From Colston to Jimmy to Joe Horn...

The thing he has to learn is to make the catch while bracing for the shot. He's still young and I think he'll learn, especially after the team calls him out on it in film review.

Re: Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

seems its the only pass we can get a ball to the receivers, deep balls are always short/underthrown. 3-4 years ago meach walks in with a touchdown. he had that clown daylight and drew under threw it. age changes the way u have to call the game also.

Re: Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

Yes, Drew has under-thrown a few deep passes this season. Argue whatever factors (pressure, age, oblique) you want.

Re: Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

Drew was still throwing to him, when it was clear he was hurt. Jimmy Graham BEAST!!!

Get Well Jimmy.

Well well well. Another post by you telling everyone how "right" you think you are and how you "told" everyone this or that would happen.

You're your own crystal ball. Give yourself a hand.

Re: Sprained shoulder for Jimmy Graham

I think right now we are better without Jimmy Graham. When he got hurt, the offense got hot immediately and the running game took over. I know eventually well need Jimmy and he's a tremendous weapon but personally I think until he can run block effectively we need a tougher TE on the field. If I'm not mistaken, Watson was the Patriots TE when Brady threw like 50 TDs one season and went 16-0.

Payton should be less inclined to call on his "money shot".
