So Jimmy Graham is a wr?

The only problem with that is The Packers ask their Wr's to block for each other.

Something Graham has no idea how to do.

Yes the Packers ask their WRs to block, but they ask their TEs to block a LOT more... so asking Graham to block less might be a good thing.

And Graham sucks at blocking for a TE, but that doesn't mean he'd suck as a WR.

I remember a game where Graham's blocking gave Woodson hell trying to get off his blocks, because of Graham's freaking long arms, gave him time to reset whenever Woodson knocked his hands away... so Woodson had to knock his hands down twice (instead of the normal once) to get past him. Of course that was just one game. But Graham struggles blocking against power... he's won with length.

What does it matter what their number is? All our WRs have to cross train with all positions. We've got competition at this group. Let's see how it shakes out. Numbers are dumb. Fantasy football crap.

I continue to be concerned over the lack of depth at tight end and their relative inability to block bigger guys in short yardage situations.

Aaron needs to hit the open guy.

We’ve got some big, fast guys in the pipeline if he wants to get some YAC. But he’s not gettig any younger. Sitting in the pocket for 8+ is not conducive to a long NFL career.

That’s Brady’s REAL secret.

Hopefully the new guys will help end that.

Not convinced about the no separation storyline

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I feel very strongly both ways. :-(

I think it’s more than fair to say we haven’t gotten much separation of late. The best example of this was against the Denver Broncos at Denver. The exposed our offense and two of us or extend our receivers as not being able to get separation.
But I think it’s equally fair to say that we’ve gotten away from the traditional West Coast offense ripe with slants, rubs, and picks etc. Hopefully, with the rexamination and reimplementation up some of the west coast basics, our guys will be able to get some separation.

You've got to get quick separation in this league or pray for a defensive breakdown or free play. Separation is absolutely important.
