How tall is Moore. Can he jump?
The better question is can he run a little bit of interference at the line and can our DL get pressure on Brees? If he can slow down or interrupt his route he will do well in getting him out of the mix.

Moore is 5-10 and 200 lbs.. Claiborne is 5-11 and 190. That's how they are listed on the roster. Theoretically Clairborne would be more agile and would be able to jump higher. In a designated role he wouldn't have to read the schemes He would just have shadow him. To me it may be worth a gamble since Clairborne is pretty athletic. Other than that I don't know who can try to neutralize Graham.

This is most likely our plan, and Graham will (like I said above) murder us.
If Carter is the plan it will be a disaster. No hope with that. Graham is not the prototypical tight end. He is about as fast as a wide receiver. Carter I'll be looking around all night trying to stay up.

This is what Graham did to someone willing to try and tackle him and you think Claiburn would be a good choice?

Never said he would be a good choice. I said he might be able to slow him down because of his size and athleticism. I also asked what other solutions would they propose. Do you have some input toward a possible solution? You have head mine.

The only times I can think of when the other team has slowed down Graham is getting physical with him at the line, now as for picking someone on our d could actually pull it off I'm at a loss. I think the best bet is Scandrick but I think we start out with Carter on him and one of the safeties over the top

Theoretically doesn't work with Claiborne or his physical attributes. Moore is bigger and has already shown more agility.

You said Claiborne would be worth a shot. Of the options we have, and how Claiborne has played, saying it would be worth shot implies it is a good choice compared to our other options.

I would love Scandrick on him, but since Claiborne sucks out loud, Scandrick needs to be outside. Leaving Moore or Wilcox as options. Carter isn't an option for me. Graham will rape him and leave him bleeding.

Yea I don't want to see Carter on him either it's just what I think we do. As for Scandrick he's the only one I think has a good chance singled on Graham

Don't do the imply thing. It was the best thing I could come up with but I am open for other suggestions. Some suggestions have surfaced and that was what I was looking for.

I'd put Carr on him. He hasn't been asked to do it here, but Carr can get physical at the LOS, or at least he could when he was in KC

Jones shocked me. He's going to open the roof.
