Meachem breaking news

Meachem was not a bust with the Saints, but he certainly didn't live up to his draft status. First-round pick should have a career high of more than 44 catches in a season.

Still, he was a useful player.

Agreed. Meachem is more valuable to the Saints than the Chargers.
Looking at Sproles, Chargers have a way of not utilizing talent correctly.

That said, those screaming for some LB help are correct. This team has a deficit at many positions on defense. Front office and coaches are swift to pile up wide-outs. We have ample depth at wide-out, don't think we have a deficit there.

It's a proven fact Drew Brees and our offense are 10 times more potent with even a mildly effective defense. Years our defense has been depleted or weak, Drew throws more int's and the offense is less effective because they're overcompensating for a hapless defense that cannot stop an opponent.

Rather see some defensive help, but I don't run the front office.

+1. I wasn't all that shocked that things never worked for Bobby with the bolts but they (San Diego) had unrealistic expectations for him. He was never the 'go to' guy but a very decent role player while in N O land. I wouldn't expect him to have 90+ catches a season but he still has ability to stretch the field. I too would have preferred us to address the OLB position but for what it's worth lets see how it works out with Meachem.

TRUST AND BELIEVE.
