“Jason Witten is my idol” Jimmy Graham said

Over the years, we have heard many teammates angry said tight end Jason Witten in Dallas Cowboys. This past season, we hear talk about Witten in Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray as a player and male effect on them. We heard said Tony Romo, Witten is probably the best cowboy. Jason Garrett called Witten the best tight end in football for the past decade.

In addition to Thursday, I put the New Orleans saints tight end Jimmy Graham professional bowl after practice and asked about Witten. In practice, Witten, added to the professional bowl as damage instead of Denver Julius snapshots of the Thomas graham in the first-team. I want to know if it is graham delay tight end who will be in the first ten bowl.

"I told him that was the first thing, you know, he is my idol, has always been," graham said. "I try to imitate him to do everything in the field and the field. Not only did he do on the pitch, he is always consistent in the past, but he does in his community. So I tried to follow his as he is a person, just because of his personal type."

Graham and Witten are in your bowl. They share the same agent, Sexton Jimmy. They how to play tight end is different. Graham is more athletic, almost a wide receiver position. Witten is more traditional tight end. "He is what I try I know I will be every year," said graham. "I for the tight end type, he is."

Rob Ryan's future is uncertain

New Orleans Saints have begun to make the offseason changes, Coach Sean Payton pledged earlier in the week, ESPN sources confirmed that the new team is three assistant, including long-term tight end coach terry Malone. The NFL network was first reported, Malone, receiver coach Henry Ellard assistant coach Andre Curtis and secondary way out.

There is still no status about defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, each source. It is unclear whether Ryan, a positive sign. Ryan's future is the most pressing problem for a team of the saints completed 7-9, ranked 31 yards allows a season in the league after he help them ranked fourth in the code to allow. Ryan players enthusiastically for the entire season, Payton resolutely denied any the rift between the two last month in Ryan's praise of passion and professional ethics. But on Monday Payton also stressed that the saints will make a major change for each element of the program, comprehensive reform, and several adjustment between things.

"We should not only to fill holes and threw the ball out, next year," Payton said. Malone's leave Payton is a sign of how serious about these changes. Malone is Payton original part of the employees in 2006, when he came to New Orleans. Malone has long before college assistant, including nine years in Michigan offensive coordinator, tight end offensive line coach and the coach.

It's not clear why Malone was open. Obviously the most high-profile players in his position are Jimmy Graham, he next year, compared with his high standards. Graham's rise has been, however, Malone's watch.
