Jimmy Graham Committed to Blocking on Runs to Help Seahawks

Jimmy Graham realizes that with the Seattle Seahawks, blocking is a priority on par with making receptions. "It's very important for me to be a part of that here because that's about 75 percent of the offense here, and if you have a back like [Marshawn Lynch], you want to be in there on those explosive runs and you want to be part of that," Graham said Monday. Graham also knows that pass plays will no longer be static with Wilson as his new quarterback. One of Wilson's strengths has been his ability to improvise and keep plays alive when the blocking breaks down. Graham has spent time learning Seattle's scrambling rules and where exactly he needs to get on the field when quarterback Russell Wilson gets out of the pocket.
