Two will be inactive
 
L Moore, M Colston, Toon, Still, Meachem, & Tanner? Toon and Still were very impressive but chances are one will be inactive with the signing of Meachem. I can not see the saints activating more than 4. I believe Toon might be the odd man out only cause of injury.

Meachem will most likely be inactive...

I dont think Tanner will miss out,i think he gets in on ST unless Stills takes on that role.

I think Tanner is going to be the odd man out along with Toon. I also Think Tanner is going to be the first one who gets cut when they go to Add somebody else to the team

I doubt Meach plays having just signed. I know he knows the system but thats still not very much time.

Beastmode 09-07-2013 02:41 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
I think Meach is in. The assumption is he knows or is familiar with most of the playbook, just needs a refresher course. If he doesn't then he's out.

Meach: Experience, knows some of the plays if not most
Rookie: little experience, knows the playbook.

Give me Stills over Meachem, besides that strip/TD against the Redskins, what did he do here during his first tour again

Id like to see them cut Tanner and Cadet to be honest to bring in a real KO/PR like Josh Cribbs if they aren't letting Sproles do it anymore. Bring back Richardson with the other spot

Danno 09-07-2013 03:13 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
Meachem may be our best blocking wr. I think he gets the nod over Tanner. Stills gets the nod over Toon as the deep threat.
I think Toon and Tanner get the nod when Colston and Moore get dinged up and need fewer snaps

To His point though meachem has been a Bust for a 1st round pick. he's has had his moments perhaps bust is alittle harsh but when your taken in the first your kinda expected to start at some point

You obviously have no idea what a 1st round bust is.

For a first rounder you can't say he's been great. All he does is runs go routes. watch that highlight reel above most of the time he's all alone he should catch the ball.

I said bust may be alittle harsh but come on in the league 6 yrs for 2476yards isn't what I expect from a 1st rounder

Most 1st rounders are out of the league after 5 years. He's far from a bust. Slight disappointment I'll give you. Bust? Thats absurd.

That's fine we can disagree but I think anyone with speed could have done what he's done. He is just another field stretcher that no one's gonna remember 5 yrs after he's gone

2,000+ yards and 22 TD's.


Bench Tanner.

What's the % of players that are remembered for what they did five years after their careers are done?

That's a fairly tall standard.

I highly doubt that.

Idk where the Meachem hate comes from. 25 TD's in 5 or 6 years isn't a bust. Look up 1st round receivers and see how many are superstars.

I don't hate him.I don't know why everyone Thinks he's so good cause he isn't he runs one route that's it when your all alone you better catch the ball.

If you think he only runs one route, its becoming clear why you think he's a bust.

Moss caught one route. He's the 2nd best receiver of all time.

DISPLACEDFAN 09-07-2013 06:13 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
I agree he ran one route too but randy was a freek a lot taller that could jump out the stadium but you aren't going to try to compare the 2 are you

foreverfan 09-07-2013 06:15 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
Meachum is here to run deep clearing patterns so he hopefully takes the CB and the FS with him. This allows Colston, Graham and Moore to run underneath routes. It also helps with screen passes.

Meachum and Robinson/Cadet will be inactive Sunday.

Claiming Meachem only ran one route is similar to claiming PT only runs the screen pass.

Watch the 5 minute highlight video posted above.

I saw end arounds or go routes just like I do every week with the occasional slant but it don't matter we have different idea what a first round pick should be able to produce is all

He did his job, he stretched the field, giving you bigger windows to fit balls to jimmy, sproles etc. the threat of getting burned deep helps every part of this team.

In his final three seasons with the Saints, Robert Meachem racked up 1,980 yards and 21 total touchdowns for averages of 660 yards and 7 touchdowns over that three year frame. That's not a bust. People like to throw around the word bust a lot.

Robert Meachem was a highly productive player over his final three seasons with the Saints.

Troy Williamson, Reggie Williams, now those are busts. Robert Meachem? Not a bust.

DISPLACEDFAN 09-07-2013 07:02 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
ok would you settle for disappointment. I would be disappointed in that production if I was paying him. considering I got 3 times that production with a 7th rounder

D_it_up 09-07-2013 07:08 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
Just my two cents, but saying Meachem is a bust is quite a stretch. When you're in an offense where the quarterback spreads the ball around to seven or eight guys (or even nine or ten) in a game, the odds of putting up huge numbers for anyone are not great. Colston has been the beneficiary of being one of the most consistent targets year in and year out, and now you can throw Graham into that mix the last couple of years, too. Then you have Lance Moore, plus Sproles and PT out of the backfield. Meachem has had no more than 45 catches in a season, but that's not a bad number when the ball is sprayed around so much. Look at his best three years statistically as a Saint. He totaled 139 catches and pulled in 20 for a score. That's a pretty good ratio of receptions to TD's, and very respectable numbers when there are usually five guys targeted more. He may not have lived up to normal first round draft pick hype, but he's certainly been no slouch. In this offense, he's done his job.

DISPLACEDFAN 09-07-2013 07:19 PM

Re: Two will be inactive
 
I'll agree with you
I said bust might have been harsh
He's carved out his spot in the offense
I also said I didn't hate him
But nobody can say that pick wasn't a miss though

One thing I've learned.. not many people notice the good things always bad stuff. Ex. us having the worst defense last year.. but that being said. Everyone has a role and he knew his.


Know your role and shut ur mouth.

I wouldn't go that far. Seeing that he was the 27th pick, the only other receiver that was available (if they were planning on going receiver all along) that may have panned out better and that was Sidney Rice. Then again, there is no telling how he would have panned out in a Saints uniform, either.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think he may have been talking about Meachem's role.
