Re: A quick look at the WR
Meachem is the guy that is going to hold the door open for Henderson when he finally leaves the saints. There is no reason he can not duplicate Hendersons numbers. Come on look at last years numbers.
20 catches for 409 yds. average of 20.5. long was 54 and 3 TDs. How many drops? what 6? LOL it is joke guys. I do not see any WR on this team outside of Colston and Patten as untouchable. I am very comfortable with a complete turn over after those two. |

Re: A quick look at the WR
I hope Lance can make the team. I think he would make a good return/st/4th WR

Porter's speed makes him ideal for returning punts: http://www.youtube.com/v/70M-NauAoC8&hl=en Those were Lance's two roles last year. I don't think he's gonna have one this year. |

Re: A quick look at the WR
My thoughts on this:
We're pretty hyped over two guys who have yet to see an NFL regular season snap. I'll just be cautiously optimistic for now. Here's an interesting story about 7th round picks. Guess who's names come up? Seventh Heaven, The NFL’s Future Stars, or Maybe Not « Sports Prose |

Moore has been active in 20 games over the last 2 years. No practice squad. The Saints have to keep him or cut him. Those are the only options. Arrington could be put on the practice squad obviously. However, dude would have to clear waivers. Someone is likely to pick him up. SFIAH |

Re: A quick look at the WR
It isn't so easy to change positions. A lot of training happens well before one arrives at the NFL level, the learning curve is only going to be longer for those who don't have that training.

The problem that I see is seperation. Colston had an advantage because of his size. He can use his body to create seperation between the ball and the defender. Meachem has the speed to create that seperation. Im not so sure that Arrington will be able to do that at the next level.
I would love for someone to be able to replace Devery but keep in mind that in 06 Devery was key to the success of our offense. You have to have the threat of someone who can stretch the defense to give the underneath routes room to work. If you do not have enough speed on the outside to at least put a safety into a backpedal of the snap, your passing lanes for your QB narrow and the room for your possession receivers (Colston) decreases. Either Meachem needs to provide that threat for us or Devery will again make the team. |
