Re: Graham out 2-3 weeks
 
As much as I hate to say it, Graham is soft. He shies away from hits, unlike Gonzalez and Gates.

Hopefully he will toughen up and learn that he is going to get hit anyway so he might as well catch the ball.

More catches, more yards, more TDs = more hits.

I'd stop short of calling him "soft".

I don't think that we are watching the same guy. I've seen Graham plow into guys and drag guys for more yardage. He injured his shoulder driving it into a defender. Why do people continue to call him soft?

I just think he has been part of the DROP Army of receivers the Saints have this season. So many drops this year. People are down on Brees and veteran receivers who are dropping balls. The young guys - stills etc, aren't dropping as much or in critical moments, but the ball isn't getting into their hands.

Yeah, I'm not sure how losing our best receiver is good.
It's not like he's the first read on every play, and it's not like Brees has to throw to him.

I'm not worried about Graham being out, let him sit until 100%. Josh Hill and Ben Watson have proven that they can pick up the slack well enough...

Agreed. JG is awesome but Watson and Hill can handle things for a few weeks. Watson is a seasoned vet and we are just starting to see Hills potential.

True, I saw a stat that said Graham is being targeted 10 times/game out of about 70 offensive snaps/game.

That's not exactly forcing the ball to Graham.

I will. He's coming over for the Falcons game.
God, I hope he doesn't bring the kids.
