Re: Ben Graham to be used on Offense?! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Mangini yesterday revealed that he's considered using P Ben Graham in certain situations on offense because of his size and athleticism."We've worked on some of that stuff, and he has done some things situationally,'' he said. "Punters are tough to get, and punters of his caliber are tougher to get. So there is always that risk-reward of getting too involved situationally and then losing them.''</div>http://www.nypost.com/seven/11072006/sport..._cannizzaro.htmThe Former Rugby player turned Punter is starting to show off his awesomeness. Sweet. :whistling:
Re: Ben Graham to be used on Offense?! Well, the guy is 6-5 and 220, Which is a Good sized punter and hes definately athletic considering he used to play rugby, so I would have to assume he's taken quite a few hits in his days also. Id have to think that they're looking at him as maybe a tall red-zone target considering we just released Zach Hilton for like the 6th time. Other then that, I dont know what use he would be.

That's like saying "Lets go hire the best Sumo wrestlers from Japan to be our O-line." Good in theory, but it probably wouldn't work.
Re: Ben Graham to be used on Offense?! Problem with that Zach Hilton releasing, your talking a guy 3 inches shorter and who isn't at a position to catch the ball. A punter really isn't expected to have some good hands, while Hilton being a TE is.

Then they shift to a shotgun formation with Graham at WR and Clemens at QB.
