Saints mailbag 10/09/09

Hargrove has not been a disappointment in any sense. He's one of the most pleasant surprises of 2009. He makes plays and hustles on every down. He's not good enough to start, but he's helped this football team already in 2009.

Meachem? I don't know. He's made very few catches (5?), but they've been key grabs. You could argue that last week's catch was one of the biggest plays of the game. He still looks a little tentative to me. Watch him on those end-arounds and you can really tell. Look, I don't want to get roasted on the board, but does he have enough size and bulk to be a TE? Probably a stupid question, but I'm just asking. Whatever you think of his route-running, you have to admit he already is a good blocker. When you see this guy up close he's got great size. He's big for a wide receiver and with his speed, you can see why he was a 1st round pick. I'm still not sure about Meachem, though. When Moore returns, is he going to disappear again or step up his play?
