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.

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.

One pass in the preseason...

Preseason, alcohol, Meachum and Strato do not mix very well. I bet Strato is nursing a hangover this morning.

Yep, over-reaction at its finest. Its why I don't like gameday chat.

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.

Wait till Ingram fumbles...

Its funny if that would have been Bush who dropped that pass there would be crying all over this board with you leading the charge....Meach is a highly paid 3rd year 1st round pick and he gets coddled..go back and watch it..the ball hit him right in the hands...Just sayin

who?

lmao

In all fairness, it was not the greatest show by our Offense, Brees was not in sync, an NFL player makes that catch but the overall the offense was lackluster

It will get better, Brees would not just let this rest, guarantee it will be rectified.
Was nice to see Mark Ingram get in the endzone, even though the other running backs got more yards than him it was to be expected for Ingrams first game.
He is going be a star at RB

Perhaps. But bringing in Terrell Owens is a terrible idea. The guy is an absolute head case. He has had problems with almost every team he's been on.
You've undoubtedly heard his rants, seen him yelling at his teammates on the field and on the sideline, embarrassing his current and former QB's (if it looks like a rat, Donovan puking in the huddle for example), yelling "I love me some me" and "They still love to hate me".

He's also much older, slower and drops many more balls than Meachem.

I doubt Meach makes the hall of fame..and T.O would be a good pickup..did you any bad stuff from last year about him?...he played well and didnt cause any problems that i am aware of....

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.
