Graham May Play

There is a good possibility that Jimmy Graham will play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. How much he will play is anyone’s guess and it will be a day game decision. He has been practicing the last week though he hasn’t been in any of the pre-season games.

I expect that Graham will be coming in on specialty downs especially third down. I am sure the Seahawks have some plays especially set for him. I expect throughout the season he will be playing some at tight end and some at receiver. In fact I have to say that he will be played a lot at receiver. He is meant to be a receiver instead of a tight end. The Seahawks are pretty stocked at tight end so there is no need for him to play there very often. When he does play tight end he will either be a decoy or a special play will be made for him.

The Seahawks do have some pretty good receivers but I am sure he will be in the game when they go with three receiver group. Most likely he will be on the outside with Doug Baldwin in the inside. I really like to see what they do with Graham for his height and with Tyler Lockett with his speed.

I know that some have questioned why the Seahawks traded for him in the first place but I think if they use him in special places he can be a very good access for the team since he is a tall player. He can be used a lot when throwing the ball high. This season we will see if these questions will be answered. I believe the Seahawks offense will be very strong this season with all the different looks they have along with the strengths. Christine Michael is expected to start against Miami at running back however Thomas Rawls should make some good runs as well. I believe that Rawls will start by game three if not beforehand. Rawls should be the main featured back by then with Michael and Collins playing some in the backfield as well. C.J. Prosise is expected to be the primary running back on third downs either passing or running the ball. He has been hurt so hard to know when he will be fully ready to play. I believe we will see him against Miami however how successful he will be we still have to see. If he isn’t totally ready to go I would not be surprised to see Alex Collins come in on third downs.

We pretty know how the defense will play against the Dolphins but it still is nice to see them on the field. There will be questions on the one outside linebacker and how the ends will rush the quarterback. We hope that they give the qb havoc in the game. It will be nice to see several three and outs for the Dolphins and get the Seahawks offense back on the field. My predication for the game is Seahawks 31-13 win. Go Hawks!
