Soooooooo next year if a Saint gets a knee blown out by the Falcons because Atlanta is bum rushing a victory formation, the Falcons should just say, “That’s too bad. And f—— the Saints.”
Gotcha Jimmy Graham.
I doubt a defense is going to bum rush a victory formation in what is a completely lost game. I feel like this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion.
Graham’s response wasn’t classy though
What an absolute clown show for everyone involved, and I say this as a Saints fan. Jameis looks like an ass for going rogue on his coach for the sake of style points in a meaningless situation, but honestly it might reflect even worse on Dennis Allen. If he’s lost the respect of his players so badly that the rest of the team would be willing to go along with something like that (and even publicly double down on it after the fact), the Saints’ locker room situation seems to be a lot worse than I thought.
I’m just astonished that Jimmy Graham is still playing in the NFL.
Falcons veteran Calais Campbell said he had no problem with going for the score but was more upset that they appeared to lineup in a victory formation.
“I wish they would have lined up in run formation,” he said. “Don’t look like you’re going to take a knee and then run then ball. … I was just frustrated with that because I just feel like there was a way to do it, if you’re gonna do it.”
OK, that’s a valid gripe to me.
