Meachem has had a great camp and by all reports is catching everything in sight and beating our own secondary deep often.

Bobby/Hokie said he looks like our best WR at this point.

Meachem has never had a rep for drops.

Drew was most likely pissed that the offense wasnt clicking and this added to the frustration, believe me though......they will make sure it doesn't happen again!
Regarding the play, if I could be allowed to expand...it seems that I saw, for some reason, that Meach had to react slightly with his arms to catch it, and possibly had just picked-up the balls flight and his reaction was just a tad slow...which is understandable, to me, because of the situations. That's why I wanted to see it again but couldn't. I'm sure I will see it again later, and maybe I will retract if I see that I was wrong.

They will undoubtebly, IMO too, make it right, which is why I was a little surprised by Drew's reaction.

I think I've beaten this enough, now.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

The ball was a little inside, and Meachem did adjust his route, which is why he dove for it. But since it hit him squarely in both hands, there's no excuse for the drop. It was a clean drop.

Also, Drew came over and patted him on the head on the sideline so I see no problem.

Meachem was probably more angry about the drop than anyone else.

Harper suped up his wheel chair last night. If anyone had any doubts why he wasn't replace this offseason, there was your answer. Excellent in the box and at blitzing.

On Meachem and his drop, it's preseason. I bet you he's going to shape up real quick and not let that happen again.

I didn't want Harper replaced, and I'm not implying that you said that...this just looked like a good spot for me to eat some crow.

I have made jokes during the offseason regarding Harper. I guess I was embarrassed by what Bradford did. I do realize that Harper was gassed by that time in that game...and Sam is probably pretty fast...anyway...

I am glad we have Roman Harper.


There...I said it.

There's no way around it... he was brought down by Bradford from behind. He deserved to be ridiculed. That's goign to follow him for the rest of his life.

Meach should have caught that pass ..no way around it..he is a 3rd year 1st rounder...preseason or not..you make that catch...if he continues his droppsies and Colston is hurting then what?...that was the reason i wanted to take a look at T.O...call me a DF{Dam Fool}..but it couldnt hurt..if he doesn't produce cut him...

It was a drop, like many other drops. It wasn't a new brand of drop, it was the old fashioned, hit him dead in the hands drop...why don't we drop it? As for T.O., N.O. Too immature to be thirty something (fits and tantrums like a spoiled child), no thanks. He would probably be more problematic than advantageous. Even if he didn't perform and Payton cut him, his juice would have already spoiled the broth. Sure he has skills, but I don't think that's the kind of sideshow we need on our quest.

first game in the dome this year with new turf and lighting I'm willing to give Meachem a Mulligan. He's been having a good camp so I will give him a break.
