How are we going to keep Jimmy in check?

Papa Voodoo · 10-25-2016, 06:16 PM

We all know Jimmy is licking his chops for this game. I'm expecting him to go off on our D mega time. Will double teaming/bracketing him even work consistently with our players?

He faded away in big games before when he played for us, but that was against great defenses. If we can keep him under control (somehow) we have a chance but if he's running free he will eat us alive.

He's going to suck.

You really think so? Even washed up players tend to go bananas on their former team and he's been getting multiple catches this season. We don't have anyone that can go up for a jump ball with him.

We surrender the world to weaker players, this one is going to be ugly for us. We can't defend a pass to save our lives and can't rush a pocket QB, Wilson and Graham will tear us apart.

We're not... Plain and simple.

I was being a bit factious, but Graham has always had a tendency of playing tight at times. He still did fine in some games because he had Brees throwing him the ball. He now has an injured Russell Wilson whose game has become totally one dimensional. He has only rushed for 33 yards on the year. He has averaged more than that per game before this year. Knowing he can't run the Saints have an extra defensive player to cover the back or Graham. I can see Vaccaro in coverage on Graham quite a bit. Right now Vaccaro is one of our best defensive players and is playing with heart.

Russell is LESS than a pocket QB. He is totally hobbled. That's why they have looked so bad.

Hit him early and hard.

You know that for a fact or is that just a blind-assed guess?

THIS! And Vaccaro is ready and willing. WE all know how Graham backs down when challenged physically. He was always soft for us and he is still soft.
