How do you guys feel about Meachum?

He and Devery's deep speed are one of the main reasons the intermediate routes to Colston and Graham are open.

They don't get enough credit for their unselfish roles, which is exactly what Brees has said numerous times about both of them.

Oh, and they're both excellent blockers.

Meachem doesn't produce like a number 1 because he's not a number 1. Bringing back Colston should be a high priority. I'd support robbing Henderson to pay Meachem.

Meachem made 1.2 million last year which is just over twice the league minimum. He's not gonna cost us much to keep.

Devery is scheduled to make 2.6 million in 2012, which isn't all that much.

I'd prefer to keep both.

I think if Brees trusted Meachem like he did Colston and Graham, then Colston and Graham wouldn't be Colston and Graham.

I'm saying it again.........we are really going to miss Curtis Johnson as our WR coach.

Boutte · 01-20-2012, 07:23 PM

yeah I think Johnson is going to be the guy we miss most.

I could see Devery moving on. meach can do most of what he does and I think he's a step or two faster at this point. If Morgan is as good as he looked he might be the next hidden gem that we seem to be so good at finding.

Meachem is relatively cheap. Keep him. If you want a list of guys that are eating up cap money that we should lose, here's my take:

#1-Will Smith (This dude is committing grand theft on the Saints)

#2-Sedrick Ellis (Petty larceny, but he's still robbing us)

#3-Shaun Rogers (Dude needs a strict diet plan & it ain't gonna' happen in N.O., although I did see improvement at the end of the year)

#4-Tracy Porter (I don't know what happened after '09, but it ain't there anymore)

#5-Malcolm Jenkins (I had high hopes at FS, but they are dwindling fast)

#6-Scott Shanle (Should be way higher on the list, but he's relatively cheap. Regardless.....he gets beat on a regular basis. Bye!!!!)

Now.......how much money would just those six save us to use in free agency & improve our defense?????

I say a change in defensive philosophy will help his game. Spags maybe the man to bring the best out in him,

As for Mech? he is cheap

westbankdaze · 01-21-2012, 07:23 AM

I like meachem, but I am not that worried if our receivers skip town. As long as we have Brees he will continue to make our receivers shine.

Saintswrath · 01-21-2012, 07:00 PM

I like your list Gandhi..

Will Smith would be the first person i would drop off somewhere.. Dude production after being signed to a fat contract has fell completely off the side of a cliff, he kinda reminds me of Charles grant before and after the money..
I noticed a lot of players (mostly on the defensive side) get really lazy after their big pay-outs and never seem to find another job after being dumped off a team.
