I hope this kid don't have the Stallworth syndrome, if he do(and I prey that he don't) I think we need to start staying away from those UT wideouts.

"Saints first-round draft pick Robert Meachem will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee Tuesday morning and will be out 3-4 weeks, sources told ESPN.com's Matt Mosley on Monday."

Man, I preyed that this wouldn't be the case, but early on in the off season it looks to be true. Robert Meachum our first round draft choice has been bitten by the Stallworth Syndrome, the Tennessee Tragedy, the Agent Orange Injury, or the Rocky Mountain Mono, whatever you want to call it, the leg injury bug that the UT receivers incur in the NFL is mind boggling. It makes me wonder if it's the way those guy's go about preparing their receivers at the University. Whatever it is, it needs to be looked in to, and let's just hope this is short term and don't nag him the whole season.
