“He’s improved through the course of the year and there’s still a lot of things he needs to work on,” Belichick said, “but I think he gives us good depth at the position. I’d like to see him catch the ball a little better, but . . . he’s around it and I think he’s making progress.”
Meriweather was asked about his coach’s remarks.
“I have a lot to improve on. I’m still learning how to be a pro and do all the little things right,” he said. “I’m still not even close to where the program wants me to be or where I want to be as a player. For coach to say something like that I have to just take it in stride. I’m happy he feels like I’m improving, but I have a lot of work to do.”
When did the light go on? When did he have his eureka moment?
“I wouldn’t say it was a eureka moment. I felt like it was something I should have been doing sooner, to be honest with you,” he said. “But it was me being young and not understanding how important certain things are. But thanks to the coaching staff we’ve got, I’m learning how to be a pro and how to be a player.”
Good to hear Meriweather acknowledge whatever maturity issues he's trying to overcome. If he can develop into a good, solid player - James Sanders redux+ - that'll go a long way toward stabilizing our secondary as the future comes. Wish to Hell he could show real flashes at CB, but he doesn't appear capable of starting at that position in the NFL.
