  1. I don't mean to crash the party here, and I'm certainly not trying to rain on the Jairus love-fest parade, but I do want to give my honest opinion here: I realize that the guy has made some plays, but I think we're all getting a little bit too far ahead of ourselves in talking him up.

     

    I'm happy that Byrd has come up with some picks, but does anyone else notice that (with the one notable exception of him out-fighting Braylon Edwards for the football last week--that was an outstanding play) every single one of his picks is a gross overthrow that just kind of lands in his hands? I know, I know, those ones count too, but it's not as though he's making any kind of special play on the ball or showing some great gift for covering the deep ball.

     

    Again, don't get it twisted, I'm very happy to have someone back there that can haul in these kinds of passes--it's always important to capitalize on your opponents' mistakes--but, while I may be among the minority, I think Byrd's best attribute so far is that he doesn't drop the ball when it's thrown directly to him.

     

    That said, I definitely think he has potential to be a very good FS, which I think is really what everyone is excited about. After all, you do have to be in the right place at the right time to make a big play.

     

    I'll say this much, I remain thrilled that we picked him over Never-ette Brown (anyone notice him yesterday?).

     

    The thing is, he is in position to make a play on the ball. If the throws were on the money, he would be there to defend that pass as well. He was reading the overthrow and playing the ball.... the biggest thing is he is putting himself in the correct positions to make a hit or clean up the garbage

  2. If we did that, how would TO catch touchdowns from Rosenfels if he was playing for the Vikings and he was playing for the Bills?

     

    Because we would have turned around and traded Roscoe for TO....it's simple really
