A New NFL record: Meriweather has the most "almost interceptions" ever

[JoePats]

That would have been a really good catch had he been able to make it.

I'm just happy he's in position to force turnovers and is making big hits. It's much better than being stuck behind Rashad Baker.

Yeah, it's held by Asante Samuel his first two years.

Whatever happened to that guy?

These Samuel references are dead on! Not only that Merriweather is a better tackler than Samuel which could make for a REALLY good player

 

[MRBLAZE]

Well, you know the old saying....

If he could catch the ball, he would be a reciever not a defender


Better to knock it down than to let the opposition get it

Solid post lol.

:rocker:

He is coming along and the fact that he has so many almost interceptions means he is covering well and breaking up pass plays which means he is doing his job. The INT's will come, although I did say to my Dad tonight that at this point he couldn't catch a cold.

maybe next week is the game he makes like five or six INT's:

Meriweather should be handcuffed to a jugs machine.

At least Meriweather is on the football field. Meanwhile, Eugene Wilson's career has come to a close with the New England Patriots.

From what I saw tonight, drop or no drop, Meriweather had a better game than Asante "Burn Me" Samuel, so perhaps this entire asinine line of questioning can be sh!tcanned ASAP.

Much more important to me - Meriweather continues to be around the ball, in position to make plays. Do I want him to catch the ball? Of course, but for now he's doing the more important part of the job, and I have hope his hands will improve. And FTR, that ball was deflected at the last moment - it looks a helluva lot easier in super slo-mo.
