Seahawks experimenting with Jimmy Graham on Offense

[Own The West]

Experimenting or Showcasing? :stirthepot:

Seriously. Got to show he still has it if we want someone to to give him $10M+ next year...

 

[RolandDeschain]

2 years and 4 games to figure out that Graham is not best suited as a $10M blocker?

Brilliant! Ignore what the Saints did with him, we are so much smarter than them on O. :2thumbs:

Better late than never.....barely though.

Debatable about the better late than never part. We're probably going to use him effectively for the remainder of this season, then trade him.

Jimmy is a FA at the end of this season.

Vernon Davis probably would be a better TE for Seattle than Graham. Great run blocking still.

Kelce, Gronk, Delanie Walker......all more suitable too.

Wish it didn't take so long to put Jimmy out at WR. Hop on youtube and watch any game JG played with the Saints and you'll see him out there all the time. We finally do this and it's the year before he's a free agent again...

It's frustrating how this coaching staff is slow to catch on to things on offense.

But he's so good at chip blocking! Watching him run at the line of scrimmage for 80% of his routes has been incredible (ignoring the fact he's one of the biggest intermediate route mismatches in the NFL). I'm actually glad the coaching staff hasn't thought of using a different TE to stay in blocking so Jimmy can be a pseudo WR like he was during his pro bowl seasons with the Saints. He needed to work on his blocking form. Really round out his resume before he's too old.

What's frustrating for me, is watching a guy whiff so bad at blocking for his team mates.
The dummies probably saw how good a job at Run Blocking, that a much smaller Golden Tate did, and probably thought that JG could add blocking to his repertoire and become a more complete TE.
Sure miss having guys like Joe Jurevicius (sp.), he actually blocked his ass off, and fought for every contested ball, some of his plays were 'Shake Your Head Beautiful'.
Strange how Lil Doug use to be fairly adept at run blocking also.
To add, even Matt Hasselbeck gave a nice block for Marshawn Lynch's 'BEASTMODE' run against the Saints Defense in the playoffs.

Tom Cable said if a wr can't block he won't play here. Maybe this is their long term plan for our future #1 receiver

Even worse, lol.

 

[Bobblehead]

I think everyone here thought he would be at SE or WO when we got him and all were collectively sighing a big WTF when we heard we're trying to teach, "Hi, I'm Jimmy" how to block.

Trade Jimmy for Matarvis Bryant and a 5th round pick.
Per ESPN Matarvis have asked to be traded.

Why.. we won't know how to use him.

Same could be said with Jimmy for the past 3 years. It couldn't be worst could it?

Can you elaborate on how well we used Jimmy for the past 3 years? It couldn't be worst could it?

Really Percy was along for the ride, defense won before the second half.

Better late than never?

Sure makes the coaching staff look like real-deal morons.

Then again, JImmy could be back to blocking half the time this weekend while Bevell giggles on the sideline.

And this is a revelation when it comes to our offense?
