understandable, but I still think he could put forth more effort. Blocking is all about effort and skill. He might not have the latter, but shite, at least try.

Blocking is all about leverage, hard to have that when you're 6' 7

Like when he drags defenders into the endzone or doesn't leave the game after taking a huge blow to the head

This height shite is ridiculous. The average offensive tackles which are the best blockers on the field are about 6'7". Hell maybe the best blocker I'm the last 20 years was Jonathen Ogden at 6'9"

Exactly, thats why all offensive lineman are usually between 5'7" and 6'2"

Yea, that was the issue. I guess PP7 just isn't physical enough
Lol

Yeah, he's so soft bro.
On the road, against the most physical defense that year, double covered, less than 2 minutes on the clock, playoff situation, after taking a nasty fall earlier in the game
Just stop, man.

We all know that Jimmy isn't that great of blocker, But what was showed on ESPN today was pretty embarrassing. They showed some plays last week where Jimmy basically let the defender run right past him and put forth very little effort to block the guy. I don't think its all technique or skill with Jimmy, his effort in his run blocking seems to be lacking. Anyone else pick up on this? Many of us might say "who cares, as long as he is catching TDs," but when our backs are getting tackled in the backfield because of this I think it becomes a problem. Thoughts?
If Graham needs to be a little less physical on some plays to stay on the field and stay in the top 5-10 in Targets, Receptions, Yards, and TDs then I do say "who cares."
In the past 10 seasons guess how many times a TE has played all 16 games, had 1,000+ yards, and had 10+ TDs...
Heres a hint... It has only happened 5 times total and the guy who plays for the Saints has done it twice (and that is only playing in 4 of those 10 seasons).

that game still haunts me. So many ups and downs.

I saw the segment. It was embarrassing. Being a poor blocker is one thing, but a lack of effort is inexcusable.
