Saints missing Jimmy Graham where it matters most: The Red Zone

The Saints settled for field goals on three of their drives inside the Texans' 20-yard line Sunday, making them just two for their last seven in such situations.
Without the hulking 6-foot-6 Graham as a safety valve, they are discovering that scoring touchdowns isn't as easy as tossing a jump ball in the general vicinity of No. 80 and watching the ensuing goal-post dunk.

He would have played the first drive only, so the article is silly
We also struggled in the red zone last year finishing out of the top 5 despite being the #1 offense. Remember the goal line stands vs Cincy and ravens. That won't happen with Unger
Let's see our red zone offense when we can dump it off to CJ Spiller and move the sticks that way

Saints missing the run game where it matters the most because Payton likes to to 5 wide shotgun on the 4 yard line

Jeff Duncan. DNR.

Yeah, talk about a small sample size. This wasn't a troll, just thought I'd throw it out there and get yall's thoughts. Do you worry about not really having a "go-to" guy in the red zone? I do. Would like to see mas Hill.

Hmmm, wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that McCown and Grayson were under center for several of those drives, would it?

On a somewhat related note, Cooks is filling his role as field-stretcher quite nicely.

Well no shite, Graham was arguably the #1 red zone target in the league. Of course they're gonna miss him.

Yeah, I was gonna mention Spiller. Looks like he's gonna be out longer than 2 weeks though

Link?

Maybe if the Saints would stop being so stubborn in the red zone and attempt some power running they would score more TD's.

Do you not get enough jollies trolling the Pelicans board?

I know Graham is a major red zone threat on paper, but I remember thinking that we struggled in the red zone last year. I also agree that with our offense, guys like Reggie Bush, Sproles, and Spiller are more important red zone options than Graham.

Well shite

Graham wouldn't have caught the fade that was thrown to Hill yesterday either. Just wasn't a great throw by Brees. The Colemsn drop from Brees in game 2 was an issue bc we are expecting him to make those plays and he looked shaky on a perfect ball by Brees. He didn't catch it clean which allowed the DB to break it up.
