Graham loses 20 pounds and feels 100 times better

From NFL.com,

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...g, but that's never been a, um, forte of his.

Seems like a lot of guys are exited and working hard for the upcoming season

Like it...shows commitment

Sounds great. Now get him the ball.

So ...... here, for your convenience, is a link to John Clayton's remarkable Jimmy Graham interview about the rehab Jimmy went thru to get back on the field >>>>>[urltargetblank]http://sports.mynorthwest.com/320598/seahawks-jimmy-graham-says-he-feels-almost-100-times-better-in-2017/[/urltargetblank]

That was a great interview from Clayton. He seems to have the ability to ask questions about stuff that people care about. More than I can say about 70% of other reporters.

Holly crap...Jimmy was up to 280? I would not have guessed he was that heavy. he carried it well. That 20 will make a big difference, and can help actually extend his career.

Great interview. I have never understood the hatin on J.G. from some on this board. He has done everything asked of him by this team, had an amazing season last year when most would of never played and is the ultimate teammate. I think 88 is gonna be a force this season and I hope we can resign him. :2thumbs:

Seemed to me like there has been no hate on jg and that it's all directed towards staff and management for buying the Ferrari and then only driving the prius.

They got about all they could out of Jimmy last year and that's a testament to his will coming back from such a severe injury. He'll definitely improve upon his numbers this year and will be a force in the Hawks' offense.

Hate?

I haven't seen much if any hate on #88

Concern for the investment if we ain't gunna use him sure, but no hate.

Well, unless you're talking about the pre Seahawk "I'm Jimmy" thing.

This sentiment is something that has kind of stuck in my craw a little bit. And the interview link above supports my reasoning. Jimmy was never involved with the team practices last season. Think about that. Yet, he gained the 3rd most yards of his career and had his best YPC of his career. The staff never really knew until gametime each and every week how- or even IF- he was going to be able to implemented into the game plan. Despite this, and all of our other issues on the offensive side of the ball....it was a HUGE improvement over the previous year's production.

I think he elevates to his New Orleans average of 9-10 TDs and ~1000 yds. Probably 65-75 catches. In Seattle's run-first offense, these are monster numbers for a TE. And I think we re-sign him.

If they game plan to get him the ball, he will be THE difference in getting us to a Home game for the second level of the Playoffs. We need to score more this year! I want us to see the ball moving down field consistently.
