Questions from a Bolts fan

dizzle88 · 10-01-2012, 04:30 PM

Hey thanks for joining and welcome to black and gold

Nice to see a friendly fan from another team

There a couple pieces that are vital to our teams performance, from my point of view we play best when;

Pierre Thomas gets into a rhythm, not sure if you've seen much of Pierre but when he runs he's like a pin ball, bounces off 3 tacklers at a time
In my opinion, getting Pierre going is vital for giving drew time back there, drew gets too much time and you know what happens to defenses

On defense, a lot of people asking for akiem hicks to get more playing time, whenever he's in the game he gets a great push and disrupts the pocket
What our team needs is a consistent pass rusher or someone that can even blow up run plays from D line, akiem hicks has showed promise that he can be that guy
Our defense is very bad so far, but we are gradually getting better;
Forced 4 turnovers in two weeks

So to cut a long story short - my opinion is Pierre Thomas on offense and akiem hicks on D

Same here here's to an injury free hard fought game!

How is meachem doing for you? I haven't been keeping track, I saw him catch a few deep passes

Thus far disappointing... while most fans who know the NFL well agree that keeping Vincent Jackson (our former #1 WR who is now with Tampa Bay) would have sent us to salary cap hell, Meachem has not impressed yet. He and Rivers (Starting QB) don't appear to have synced up despite Rivers claiming otherwise.

Our coach surely wanted to use him for the deep ball but Floyd is pretty good at that as well... and the Oline hasn't been wonderful but the return of Gaither (starting LT) could do a lot to fix that and make everyone on the offense look better then they have.

Well, I hope that Rivers<>Meachem connection is out of sync for at least one more week!

This will be an important game for Sproles & Brees. Both of them will probably play a good game on Sunday. Brees is also looking to make history with one more TD pass.

Thanks for "coming in peace." You sounded like Buzz Lightyear.

Here's to a good game, bro!

In all honesty, most fans on this site will tell you that is exactly what happened to meachem here

For roughly 3 games at a time he would disappear, no catches over the middle or anything and then out of nowhere he would have 100 yard receiving day

E.G Dallas 2010, meachems first catch of the game came in 4th quarter, 5 mins left for 50 yards

He can wow you sometimes and then he just disappears, your FO is good though and has knack for drafting talented players

Here's a friendly request - seen as every player we get from San Diego comes here and lights it up, can we have a defensive player? Lmao

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't he your number 3? Wasn't he going on and off the field depending on the formation?

With the Chargers he is the #1/2 WR depending on who you ask (But a lot of plays are designed for the TE or RB) and will be on the field a lot more often then not.

Yeah your absolutely right, but we don't really have number 1, number 2 or number 3 receivers, as you said based on the formation we subbed the personell in there

Plus since 2009, we spreaded out 4 wide more often that not so meachem was on the field quite a lot
Since 2006 there has only ever been one receiver in our offense that gets 1000 yards every season and that's colston, just because of how reliable and the type of player he is
You are correct though, for a number 2 receiver you expect big production and sounds like he hasn't got in a rhythm so far

I think rivers and meachem will develop that though, just hopefully not against us lol
