Fly Like A Byrd - Damiere Byrd Doing Work

[Grendel]

Byrd' making his case!!!  Bersin has had his chance it's time to move on.

Why? He gets a lot of hate around here but he's paid his dues and there isn't a receiver on this team that has Cam's trust more than Bersin. Tell me one receiver that has been with Cam longer? Sorry but that goes a long way.  

One, he's never shown much of anything in the regular season or even preseason. Two, he's the same type of big bodied possession receiver as KB, Funch and Shep who are all locks. Byrd is the exact type of player we need to compliment those guys. Bersin is fine for a fringe practice squad player but he's nothing more than that. That's not hate it's just the reality. I like the guy and the effort he's put in and it's quite a feat that he's made it as far as he has. But he has no upside and just doesn't have NFL talent. Byrd does have the upside. What possible proof do you have that Cam trusts him at all? That's a completely absurd notion. The amount of time he's been here is irrelevant.

I think Bersin's fine too, but I don't know if he's a piece we need for this offense. I think Shepard, CMC, and Samuel (when healthy) make up for Cam's lack of reliable options last year. We need more deep threats imo.

I like "arguing" with you Saca so I will leave you with this. You mention Cam's lack of reliable options and the need for deep threats. They just gave Cam more short options, let's hope he can adapt to that cause that is what the NFL is now. The last thing Cam needs is deep options.He already knows how to do that. Enjoy the rest of the game. *cheers* Football is back.

We still need someone that can stretch the field if we don't have Ginn so our underneath options work well. Shepard, Samuel, and CMC give me confidence they can work the short/intermediate game, but we still need a burner to get safeties going deep.

Byrd is better than bersin. He deserves a spot over him

[top dawg]

It's early yet still, but this isn't Byrd's first rodeo. He's just getting more looks now that there seems to be more of a commitment to see what he's got. I've had to defend him before from people saying that he had done basically nothing during preseasons past, but comparatively production-wise he was right there with Brown, Bersin and others who should have been in the same boat as far as I'm concerned. 

Not quite sure why people seem surprised that he could play Ginn's speed role, but I guess that's what happens when people overlook certain guys who are basically waiting for their turn.

@Saca312 anyway we can get the full gif?

Honestly, I have zero proof other than the eyeball test. When Bersin is in the game, Cam finds him and likes throws him the ball...Bersin mostly catches it. Maybe someone who has more time than me can find the stats and prove me wrong. I'm fine with that and maybe it is an absurd notion. I just think he plays an important role on this team.

He was getting so incredibly open last year and him making the team proved the coaches didn't penalize him for terrible throws.

He had a nice game vs Baltimore and had that sick one handed catch in stride along with a punt return but Tennessee was his best game despite only going 3 for 36 yards.

I tweeted this at Voth 8/25/16

First pic - the ball hits the db in the back IRC

 

He can fill the Ginn Role but I think he also can be shiftier rather than just a deep threat.

He's getting a ton of separation on a ton of routes. This particular play would've been a sure touchdown if Webb was money. This isn't just a one time thing.

The corner route next to Byrd was easier to hit, Webb just likes Byrd I think

Actually defender would've stayed on the corner route had Webb thrown it to that side. The Texan recognized who Derek Anderson was throwing to and that his teammate was beat, so he tried his best to run over and help when Anderson threw.

Unless Webb's eyes were locked onto Byrd

the whole throw, there was no way that corner could have made a play on the corner route, he had no safety help, but it's hindsight now.

 

 

Oh, and it's Webb,  not Anderson  haha
