Brandon Graham: "Right now, I'm a bust."

Graham is ma boy. He was my favorite player at Michigan, I got his jersey as soon as I could during his rookie season.

I still have faith in him. The potential and talent is there. This is obviously a "make or break" type year for him, and I think he certainly makes the best of it. His motor is ridiculous, that isn't something you lose over time, especially after losing weight which he has done. I know the pass rush ability is there, and I expect him to emerge as a key component of our DE rotation. After missing almost the entire 2011 season, I would say something between 5-7 sacks would be a good season for Graham,a nd that's what I expect from him.

I think it's really cool how he realizes his place in the NFL and with the organization. He knows it's game time, he's going to step up.

I wanted Earl Thomas, but I like Graham and hope he can put it together.

I like the fact that he isn't using the system (Sean McDermott) or his ACL injury as an excuse. I always been a fan going into the draft, and even though I thought he would be a better fit in a 3-4 defense, I still hope he can have success with the Eagles. I think we'll see him get it going this year. If he can stay healthy, the Eagles can have a great DE rotation.

I give him credit for embracing, for the lack of a better word, the fact that he's a bust right now. I don't think this changes anything as far as him living up to his draft status goes. I give him props for accepting it though, many players wouldn't do this.

Doesn't change my opinion on him at all though.

Yeah yeah. If we only we took Earl Thomas instead of Allen. Or Nicks instead of Maclin. Or JPP instead of Graham. Or Polamalu instead of McDougal. Or Sapp instead of Mamula.
