Meachem

i've loved the way he's played all year, but today he was way, way off. i hate to say it but i think that he's gone. he played way to conservative today and seemed to play to not get hurt. i know he has alot to risk, but we really needed him today and he didn't produce.

I think this means he will be here next year.

LOL. He will get eaten up by physical DBs in the pros. He obviously isnt ready. He needs another year or he is wasting his time.

Dropsies and not physical at all. That will not pay off in the NFL

I don't think he's gone if he keeps his word. I don't see him as a first rounder.

Agree he needs to stay another year..

Not having Bret Smith hurt terribly, too.

I think he will stay, because before this game he was projected as a late 1st early 2nd round pick. After this game I would say he is a lock for the 2nd round.

That just goes to show how much Meachem needed Swain and Smith to keep double teams and physical coverages off him. Meach is good if its one on one with a zone. But he isnt ready to play all these schemes and physicalness in the NFL.

he wasn't physical today; but i don't know how you can say he wasn't physical enough the during the year. for the most part, he carried the offense the whole season. to my recollection, today was the first time i remember him dropping 3-4 passes. i hope he stays but by the way he played today it just looked like his head wasn't in the game at all.

Yeah, a great big "Thank You" to Bret Smith for causing us to go into this game without our full WR package...

Good point, I just dont think he is ready. And that is not coming from my bias. I just think he needs another year. Samardzia could have went pro last year, but came back. Most WRs need 4 yrs.

Why in the @#%@ did we not throw the ball to meacham more? another fine coaching point......

 

[maotai]

anyone listening to meach on the radio, he sound like he is in shock.

 

[hsclcc]

Why didnt we throw it to him more often????

Penn St. put a blanket on him and he got tangled up thinking about all those millions. If he is smart he will be back.
