I put off diving into NFL Rewind for years. This season is different. I was curious what the big deal was with my Hawks getting Graham in a trade for Max Unger.
After watching a couple of New Orleans games I'm still wondering.
All the related media was boo-hooing about the loss of Graham from the Saints.. Vids of 7 year old girls on the verge of a suicide watch.
So I am on day 2 of the 7 day free trial and I'm gonna bust through all of last season to make my mind up about what Jimmy was REALLY about.
So far I'm NOT that impressed. They say he didn't block...nonsense! He blocked when the play went in his direction.
He DOESN'T catch every pass thrown his way. Matty Ice had other receivers he was far more in love with for one thing.
Frankly Ryan was on the run more than gets talked about and Graham was rarely his first choice on these accidental extended plays.
This watching last years Saints a couple of things jump out. 1.... The Saints defensive backfield is a joke. It is painful to watch such horrible DBs. The one thing they ALL do/don't do is look back at the opposing team's QBs. They almost NEVER know when the ball is going to arrive into their coverages.
Many times Graham seems lost when plays break down. He rarely finds open space for a QB to throw to. From what I saw Bennett was right. Graham is not as impressive as the bruhaha would suggest.
If he doesn't figure out how to make separation on extended plays he might not even make the team let alone be the big difference maker the Seattle media is trying desperately to paint him.
NFL Rewind is just OK. The controls go bye-bye when the screen is enlarged. In a technical sense it isn't really very sophisticated. In my case it is useful looking at Jimmy Graham's true performance as opposed to seeing the hype.
