Seahawks vs 49ers, 3 burning questions
By Dan Viens
2: WILL JIMMY GRAHAM BE MORE INVOLVED?
Piggy-backing on Burning Question #1, more specifically this is a huge question mark. Clearly, he’s healthy again, as he played over 50 snaps last week. The team still insists on using him as a blocker way too much, and there are still times when he’s wide open but Wilson doesn’t go to him. Russ will no doubt be tasked this week with getting the ball out quicker, before the pass rush can get to him. Who better to throw it to than Graham, since he doesn’t have to be wide open to make the play?

With Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett both playing banged-up, Graham’s involvement in the offense would be a much-needed boost for the unit as a whole, on Sunday and for the rest of the season.
Yesterday, Keith and I debated the Graham issue, with me asking if the team should consider trading him if they refuse to use him properly, and Keith advocating patience. This weekend’s game could tilt the issue more obviously in one of those positions or the other.
