I agree with this. Tanner is solid, but not really explosive. Meachem has the abilities, and of course they already know how he fits into the system. But he's so sporadic that I'm having a difficult time getting excited about him.

Still, if he sticks I would think he takes Tanner's place also.

Meachem if healthy was always a deep threat, so even if he's not getting the ball he's stretching the field. All the more open space for the rest of the weapons...

Exactly! The Saints would alternate sending Meachem and Henderson deep so each remained fresh. They would only be targeted a few times combined, but when they did it was usually a big play, or when they weren't it drew coverage away from the inside and shorter routes.

True Dat... but he did not specify whether his shape was pear like or otherwise ...

Hey, people!! Vilma has been designated to the return to action slot of IR. He'll be back. This clears a roster spot and gives him a chance to get to 100% while remaining with the team.

Isn't it suppose to be the best 53 to make the roster not who helpt u win the superbowl years ago but is at the end of their career? Time to let the youngbloods lead if the old ones cant play anymore. Vilma has his leadership replacement in lofton. And vaccaro will be the leader of the whole d.
