Comparing Meachem to Tanner is apples to oranges... Way different type of receivers

Yep, and why not. If we get bombarded with injuries he'll be quite welcome down the stretch.

@MikeTriplett: #Saints David Hawthorne could be upgrade over Jonathan Vilma if he returns to peak form | http://t.co/JYiJbAHvzZ http://t.co/TRaF0g0NkB

Hawthorne did look good in the preseason, he read the QB came off his assignment and almost got that pick against the Texans...

I think Hawthorne is better against the pass and Lofton is better against the run

I'm not convinced Lofton is better versus the run, but its probably close.
