Re: How losing Jimmy Graham might impact the Saints’ offense

A number of the previous posts hit it. Give Brees more time in the pocket and receivers will be open. Graham was his go-to receiver because his size allowed him to out-reach defenders in tight coverage. He had few other options. If additional time in the pocket allows receivers to get better separation picks will go down and yards after the catch will go up, especially with Stills' and Cooks' speed. I see the JG trade turning the Saints into a more explosive offense.

On the flip side, a pass rush that results in turnovers puts Brees back on the field. It worked in '09 and it'll work in '15. So, time for Payton and Loomis to fill in the blanks on D.
