Rodgers will be throwing wherever he wants to. Please. Seattle fans and their retarded predictions about where Rodgers will and will not throw the ball.... Shut up already
I don't take you guys seriously. Your football knowledge dates back 3 years.
Wow what? It's ok for a Hawk's fan to bring up soccer and how it's attended to in Seattle, so I brought up 2 of the big 4 sports in the US and asked how Seattle couldn't keep a couple of those franchises in Seattle. What's the big deal?Just wow.
Those of you Hawk fans that are hating on Bevell may have a point after reading this article!
The Rams were able to tell just where the play was going to go and where it would be run based on how Graham was lined up. I better email this to McCarthy
It is a good read click the link for the full article
Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks: Jimmy Graham was a tell against St. Louis Rams
Jimmy Graham was a tell against St. Louis Rams
Setting aside all that much-deserved praise Graham receives as a pass catcher, he's a very limited inline run blocker -- especially against defensive ends and bigger outside linebackers. How exactly Graham would be used in the Seattle offense was a huge offseason talking point, including pep talks reminding him of his considerable size and the need for tight ends in Seattle to be tight ends.
Besides, Seattle is a run-first team -- and one that often uses two tight ends whose specialty is blocking.
The issue that was apparent last Sunday is that Graham is best suited as a wide receiver -- extended from the formation. When he's inline, he's simply not the same player.
The Seahawks seemed insistent on Sunday on treating him as a true tight end, aligning him in location (next to the tackle, on the line of scrimmage) during significant chunks of the game.
The Packers would appreciate it very much if the Seahawks stick with that approach.
The problem with Graham as an inline player is evident in plays like the screen shots below, where the defensive end pushes Graham well into his own backfield, closing off one side of the formation entirely.
In other words, the offense can't rely on running the ball effectively behind Jimmy Graham -- or any other less-skilled blocking tight end for that matter. All players in the NFL have weaknesses, and for Graham, that's inline blocking at the point of attack.
New Orleans knew this. St. Louis knew this. Green Bay will know this. And most unusually, Seattle knew as well, as was obvious throughout the game when they continued to align Graham as a true tight end, but send the direction of the runs away from him.
There's nothing more powerful for the run portion of your defense than to know where the ball is going to go.
And St. Louis knew.
But if it were, Bob Saget would be the most sought-after free agent on the market. He's packin‘ at least 8 inches ..... flaccid . In fact, I heard that his dick is so big , that when he pulls it out the whole room smells like a dick.
