337saint, i'll bet he does better than your optimistic! 90+- 1,000+ yds- 10 tds Greatest thing , he takes pressure of Colston last half of the season!

 

[schrowa]

>>43 catches

635 yards

4 Td's >>

I would be happy with that.

The more viable targets we have on the field, the more mismatches we can create. With Bush spread out wide more, Colston, Meachem, and Henderson, it will create some mismatches (assuming Henderson can catch the ball this year).e

to imagine devery, bush, henderson along with colston on the field.. you'd think that we could run a draw rather easily out of that formation. You know they'd have there dime package in, in order to try to defend it.
Think the underneath stuff would be gimme's.
If meachem comes on, even moderately as good as his metrics. brees will easily surpass his best passing yardage to date.. probably marino's too.

I'm somewhat new here, first time poster, long time observer.

Does DRC make a cameo appearance in this video?
Looks like Tennessee State, maybe I'm wrong.

Wow i didnt notice that but your right that does look like Tennessee state. DRC was #45 at TSU, if look at the very beginning (about 0:13) you can see him stubbling around in the secondary as Meachem scores a TD. Cant tell if he was getting blocked or not but I'm almost certain thats him.

I don't know, I looked to see if Tennessee played Tennessee State, and I didn't see it.

This prediction is for the season game opener.

i don't know his stats, I'm just hoping he is and plays like a # 2 beside Colston on opening day. I believe the only wr on our roster that worries opposing teams is Colston, nothing against Patten but we need another threat at that # 2 spot.

No Numbers

I suck at the numbers game, so I won't play.

But I do want to say that M.Colston is a known commodity in the league while R.Meachem is an unknown. Meach might do very, very well at the beginning of the season as Colston gets 2-timed by DBs. Colston's numbers would then look very pedestrian while Meachem's look like what we've all been waiting for since last year's draft.

Mid-Season would bring a balance in DBs coverage (read: indecision on who to cover best) of our two receivers as they start to see Meachem as a threat as well. And that is when we are going to kick the door open on the NFL... with authority.

Whatever attention R.Meachem and M.Colston receive from defenses, let us never forget the "underneath" guys that can gash for short yardage and big YAC numbers. One football and 5-6 options-weapons-players to go to will be a most enjoyable problem to have in 2008 and I feel Meachem will contribute his share this year.

No, I won't play the pre-season numbers game but if Robert Meachem catches one ball for one yard.... he has just doubled his stats from last year. And that is one more yard closer to the Saints going to the Superbowl.

The end.

I just think it's ludicrous that some people here are putting so many eggs into the Meachem basket. Look, if the coaching staff were so sure about his being the #2 receiver, do you really think they would have re-signed Patten, Henderson, and Copper? Maybe a couple of them, but I'm not sure about all three. Furthermore, people are acting like the only reason he didn't play last year was due to injury. Well, if it had been due to injury, don't you think he would have been put on injured reserve at some point, rather than continuing to use up a roster spot? The reason he wasn't playing was more likely because he was in the doghouse - he was out of shape, not performing in practice, not learning the playbook - something like that. I'm not saying Meachem is going to be a bust, not yet, but I think we should not be expecting anything out of him. If he contributes something, that's great, but I don't think we should be thinking he's going to be some sort of dominant, or even serviceable, second receiver this year. The best I can imagine is that he'll split time with Devery as the third receiver.
