It's his "redshirt" year. For all that, we should have went with the local boy... at least he's seeing playing time there in San Diego.

When asked about Meachem's progress earlier this week, Saints coach Sean Payton said that he's not close to being ready.

"He's made progress, but if it were to my liking we'd be having him in the game," Payton said. "He still has a ways to go and he's working hard.

Like some said its his RED SHIRT YEAR

Bust? He sucks? I hope that when this guy plays he improves this offense. I at least want to see him play before I judge his ability.
As of now, I am the biggest member of the Meachem fan club.
Quote:
Possessing 4.3 speed, Meachem combines soft and dependable hands and is a polished route runner. In addition, Meachem was a model athlete and impressed his coaches with his work ethic and dedication to his team, never placing his individual accomplishments above the goals of the team. In addition, he understands how to use his long arms and his body to shield defenders from the ball, a knack some taller receivers struggle to grasp. Mecheam has also earned the reputation as an above average receiver, using his huge hands to easily snare passes and make plays in traffic.



"Every coach who had contact with him said he was an A+ character guy," said Loomis. "He impressed us at the combine with his interview and we brought him here to interview with us and he was very impressive."



Meachem was widely regarded as one of the finest wide receiver prospects to come out of Tennessee in the last twenty-five years. That, in itself, is impressive, considering that the school has produced such notable receiving stalwarts such as former Cincinnati Bengal Carl Pickens, former Dallas Cowboy Alvin Harper, former Bengal Tim McGee, and former Charger Anthony Miller, to name but a few.

I got a feeling that at some point during the season this kid is going to have a lot of people eating crow.

JOESAM gets credit for calling Pierre Thomas. Papz gets credit for calling Josh Bullocks. I think Jkool got Colston right.
When the time comes, I want credit for saying that Robert Meachem is the next stud wide receiver for the Saints. He's got velvet smooth hands.
Quote:
He ranked fourth in the nation with an average of 99.9 yards per game receiving and ranked 24th nationally with 5.46 receptions per game. He led the team with a career-high 71 catches for a school season-record 1,298 yards (18.3 avg)
Quote:
Not since the days when Carl Pickens (1989-91) and Alvin Harper (1987-90) terrorized opposing defenses have the Volunteers had a player at the receiver position that can change the tide of the game better than Robert Meachem.

You touched his hands? :p

Re: any news on Meachum
 
He is a rookie so there was no reason the believe that he would play alot. Rookies are there for the future. And he and Colston will make a great starting WRs duo in the future. I did hear the general manager say that he is healthy now, but he has good players ahead of him.

I'll take my crow on a po-boy, dressed. Show me something. Make him go down on special teams and tackle somebody, something.

Re: any news on Meachum
 
yeah I'll take a side-order of crow as well. let's see what Meachem's got. PLEASE prove me wrong and make me eat crow...i really want him to be a stud.

Re: any news on Meachum
 
We should have addressed a different need with that pick. I wasn't happy with that pick and moving up in the fourth to pick Pittman.
What's done is done and since Meachem is on the team I'll be cheering for him and hoping that he'll be a good player for the Saints.

I'll vote with you on this on Ice. Once this kid is healthy, I think he's gonna surprise these guys. But you know them, Hurry,hurry,hurry. Never enough. A Lot of the members go to the Euph school of patience.
