DanInUticaTampa Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 forget rookie of the week, this kid has probably already won rookie of the year... him and percy harvin are going to have a fight for it. Byrd man can win it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 forget rookie of the week, this kid has probably already won rookie of the year... He hasn't even won Rookie of the Week yet, although he hasn't been starting all year. Let's not push it quite yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Byrd will get rookie of the week once he brings one of his INT in for a TD. then his greatness will be taken up a notch. and we know it will happen this season. even if it only happens once.

GripnRip Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 him and percy harvin are going to have a fight for it. Byrd man can win it though! serious? Looks like it might come down to him and Brian Cushing(and maybe Percy Harvin if the Vikings D gets REALLY creative) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 him and percy harvin are going to have a fight for it. I don't think so. IIRC correctly there is no overall Rookie of the Year. Just Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year And if Bird keeps it up, Defensive Rookie of the Year is one thing. A Pro Bowl trip to Hawaii is another. And then he'll be a Surfin Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) He hasn't even won Rookie of the Week yet, although he hasn't been starting all year. Let's not push it quite yet... Yep. We'll have to see how it goes, now that teams have some game film on him. CIN's #2 pick Maualuga started out strong, but has tapered off the past few games. Still - 7 picks...impressive. I noticed in the stats in the HOU game, he had 2 solo tackles and 3 assists, and Wilson with 7 tackles and 8 assists. I haven't seen Byrd play - is he jumping routes, is he leaving coverage to hawk the ball? How does he look in run defense?

I haven't seen Byrd play - is he jumping routes, is he leaving coverage to hawk the ball? How does he look in run defense? Several of the picks were due to his being in the right place at the right time...bad overthrows, tipped passes. The key thing though is that he was in the right place at the right time. He also has several passes defensed. We'll see how he progresses. If those badly thrown or tipped passes weren't (badly thrown or tipped) would he still have been in the right place at the right time? We're dead last against the run...DBs have to make tackles because they are all that's between untouched ball carriers and the EZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the bird man has the eyes of a hawk and is able to see the QB's face and eyes from anywhere on the field. Ball hawk describes Jairus the bird man Byrd perfectly.

McBeane Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Did they move the Pro Bowl to Miami? If so, why Miami Yes they did, and its now the week before the Super Bowl, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
