So tell me about Robert Meachem...

niteadept · 03-14-2012, 09:20 AM

Liked Meachem. Seemed to be a really good guy that never complained, but could make the big plays when called on. Seemed to do pretty well during our SB run, but the next year he fell off. Came back around last year and was more consistent. Happy for him, but I expect Henderson to get more play now. Come on Dev!

We aren't exactly tearing it up in the middle/late rounds...

Stanley Arnoux
Chip Vaughn
Taylor Melhalf
Demario Pressley
David Jones
Antonio Pittman
Andy Alleman
Mike Hass
Josh Lay

I think we do better than most throughout the draft, but I'll put our 1st thru 3rd rounders up against most teams.

Meachem's hands disappear in traffic. He can't even find them.
Streaking with a step over the shoulder he's great.
He reverts back to the bread basket/protect myself thing across the middle.
He did well for what we needed him to do.
I hope he works well for you guys and "earns" his keep.

Meachem is a bum!He can't run,can't make acrobatic catches,and the best part is he will tear your locker room to shreds!Best of Luck Meachem.

Was just about to post this. Now it's on the thread twice, as it deserves to be.

For a long time I used to watch the strip/fumble on Youtube whenever I felt I needed to get pumped up for a game! He will always be loved here for that. I hope he does well in San Diego.

I don't really agree that he didn't fight for the ball, or that he couldn't catch in traffic or a lot of other criticisms, his main issue was that he gets the dropsies pretty bad from time to time.

This video is also a pretty good indication that he is a player to get excited about:

I wish him well. For a speedy receiver he was pretty slow to learn the play book.
