Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

Nobody cares if they are open when a team is 3-13. I'm not even sure what he is on the depth chart 4th or 5th WR? Going by yardage and grabs he would be 6th.

You still have 13 games though to win your bet with someone. He has to leap frog a couple WR's. Coach also said he wants to get Tre'Quan more involved so you would have to pull against Tre'Quan and Carr.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

You have to recognize what Meredith was brought here to play. He was signed to be a slot WR. He wasn’t signed to be a WR2 in the sense of the depth chart. Ted Ginn is the WR2 with TreQuan Smith backing him up. Austin Carr is the slot WR with Cameron Meredith poised to takeover the role we signed him for $5 million to fill. Austin Carr isn’t beating out a healthy Meredith. We see who got in the end zone on their first catch of the season.

Are you seriously that dense? You are in a deep state of denial, Beast. He was in there on our offense the very first snap of the game. I'm pretty sure there weren't four other WR's on the field along with Meredith. He has more TD receptions than Tre'Quan and Carr combined in two fewer games!

:rolleyes:

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

End of the day you still have to hope for the failure of Smith and Carr to win your bet. I don't care if you win or not but you have to root against other players.

All I know is he is still way down on the depth chart as I stated he would be, before the season which was my only point, even if healthy which he is. He is not going to be the WR2 as was suspected at some point in the season which most were hailing him. MI will also pilfer some throws from him.

What is really helping him is we have to throw 400 yards a game just to stay in it because the D sucks so bad. Things are looking up for him right now but when MI returns it's over with. We won't be airing it out that much anymore.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

First of all, I'm not just pulling for Meredith because of some silly bet. Quite the opposite. I made the bet because I know Meredith was brought in to be the slot receiver in the offense. He has already supplanted Carr in that role. You refuse to accept the obvious for some insane reason.

And where do you get the idea he is "way down on the depth chart"? On your private depth chart, maybe. Or did you hear that in one of the coaches' meetings that you attend?

:roflmao:

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

Yes he has one catch that was a TD. He is our W2. He's kill'in it. I would say it was Carr or Tre'Quan but they only have a single catch with no TD. Ginn doesn't count at all because, let's face it, he's just Ginn. And toss out Kamara because he's technically a RB.

Beastmode -

I'm slightly curious as to why you are so hell bent out of shape in seeing a player coming off a serious knee injury fail in New Orleans?

I can understand the hate for Julio (he's the enemy for the hated Failures) but why a guy who is on our team contributing (see TD) ?

Michael Thomas needs help - you know, kind of like that how Sanu & Ridley (4 combined TDs yesterday) helps JJ? Those guys take a ton of pressure off the #1 WR.

You can't expect Thomas to catch 15 passes every Sunday.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

I don't want to see CM fail. Just getting tired of the reports, even before the season that he was going to step in and that was that. He is a project. They all are projects. Nobody has emerged to fill that role. Last week Peyton said he needs to get Tre'Quan more work....it's a shaky situation, even if CM had no injury it would still be shaky. We are going into game 4 with no real horse in front. I would not at all be surprised if this continues the rest of the season.

It looks more situational dependent is the only thing I can make of it. Each are good at a specific things. Carr is shifty, Tre'Quan, one on one jump baller, CM, big GL target.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

^^^ Gotcha.

Re: Saints trying to work Cameron Meredith into game plan for Falcons
 

A player with 66 catches for 888 yards and 4 TDs is not a project. Carr and Smith may be projects, but the Saints signed Meredith with a specific role in mind and film proving his skill set.
