What you think about Graham after reading this?


GREEN BAY - The rep is over. There’s a momentary pause Saturday afternoon as players head back upfield, returning to their respective huddles. It’s quiet on Ray Nitschke Field. The action has barely begun in the first padded practice of Green Bay Packers training camp.

But Jimmy Graham is seething.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ pass just sailed over his head, but there should’ve been a penalty. Josh Jones, Graham asserts, grabbed his facemask. He’s sure of it. Graham looks around for the yellow flag, but it remains tucked in the referee’s pocket.

And now he’s fuming

If Graham is being unbiased, and coaching up the officials, that could be a very good thing. But in my (non-professional) personal experiences, the guys that are extremely anal about reffing calls are normally the most biased, rarely admit it when they commit a foul and usually demanding a call whenever there is anything iffy.

Also I remember a Seahawks game or two, where the Packers WRs couldn't get off jams, and they spent the whole game informing the officials that they were being grabbed and held during the jam (and they were) and the refs were allowing it. And the Packers WR (those games) weren't stepping up their physical style to match it.

So if defenders are horribly making penalties, then yes inform the officials and try to coach them up (if they're willing to listen), but if it's simply things, then try to fight through it and still make the play.
