Lol. He's 6'7," and the proven 2nd best receiving TE in football. You just throw it to him dummies.

Translation: Russ needs to throw him the dang ball.

Brees used to just throw it up and let Jimmy take over...They don't take the chance in this offence..

Maybe we need Jimmy to wear a big sign that says HEY RUSS.....TRUST ME, I WILL CATCH IT!

I could'nt agree more. Honestly, why the hell did we trade for him?

10 million a year is a hell of a lot for a blocking te

This is the correct answer. We are going to have to unleash Russ to hide the D.

I'll let the critics with access to coaching tape analyze this stuff. Whether this is RW being scared or Bevel's just being inept at designing plays for Graham in general.

Brees and Payton knew how to get him into the right spots in zones, and how to get him in to good matchups in man, and then also knew the routes to run to exploit those matchups. I don't think either Bevell or Russell have any idea how to accomplish this. Maybe he was toting two defenders everywhere he went. We'll have to see. I want 10 targets in the first half next week. See what happens when we force it to him. My bet is that the results end up really good.

I think Carroll and Bevell do not want to force throws his way because and this is just my theory, it's similar to Harvin.

Harvin was force fed and I think the coaches don't want to make it seem like they are doing the same thing with this new guy.

Watching the game, Baldwin targeted the most, followed by Luke Willson. Kearse was almost nowhere to be found except for one throw his way.

I am at a loss on why we are not utilizing him like NO has. He is 6'7" for goodness sake! Throw the ball high enough to where only he can get it. He has at least 4" on his defenders and I'm sure he could jump which makes his height even more of an advantage. Empty the backfield, go double tight and three wide. With that someone will be uncovered because they most likely will double Graham. Even with Graham double covered he can still get the ball, so why are we being so vanilla on offense? Another thing too... why aren't we blitzing more? Maybe a safety blitz to the blind side every once in a while?

Jimmy came over and hugged Lynch after the fumble non-fumble I knew at that moment he was a hawk and that the execution was on RW
