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

BY JOEL A. ERICKSON | JERICKSON@THEADVOCATE.COM SEP 20, 2018 - 9:53 AM

New Orleans believed in Cameron Meredith this offseason, and he's had to wait two games before he could start rewarding the Saints' faith.

Meredith might get his chance this week.

After being declared inactive for the first two games due to a lack of time on the practice field, Meredith has been getting time with the first team this week, and it might be time to let him loose.

"This will be a week we'll look to see how he progresses and see if we can get him into this plan,' Saints head coach Sean Payton said.

Meredith has spent the first two weeks watching from the sidelines.

After signing a two-year, $9.4 million deal to leave Chicago, Meredith wanted to be on the field right away.

"It's always tough, especially when you feel like you should be out there helping your team," Meredith said. "Going into this game, I'm just focusing on the details, focusing on being productive. It's good to go out there and get some more reps with the first team."

Meredith made two big plays in the final preseason game, a sign that he's fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in his final year with Chicago.

But he was held out of enough practices leading up to that game that Meredith didn't have time to absorb the nuances of the offense.

"In training camp, I didn't have a chance to get as many reps as I wanted and get on the same page as Drew," Meredith said. "Now that we've had a couple of weeks during the season, putting in more time in practice together, I've gotten those reps this week."

And New Orleans might finally get a chance to test out its new toy.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Wait! I was told he was supposed to miss at least the first quarter of the season from someone here! This must be wrong, right?

The article's tone sounds as if Payton didn't think Mer was mentally prepared.
That seems unusual for someone who had and entire offseason to learn. Let's get him in there and see what he can do!

Like I said “lack of time” B.S. he’s supposedly been healthy for a month now. He’s a vet. It shouldn’t take him this long to get in gear.

Where is he supposed to play? We need help in the slot, big time.

Have any idea of how the timing is with Brees /Meredith at practice because I sure don't. He didn't get a lot of looks with the 1st team at t/c. Reps, timing, rhythm @ practice is paramount in a Sean Payton style of offense.

This is only week 3. As fans, all we see is the finished product on Sundays.

Think they're giving him a try at middle linebacker

I could see Brees lodging one in his helmet but only in garbage time so unlikely this game.

Maybe.....just maybe he had a set back and hasn't had time to get on the same page as Drew.
