Re: Saints Will Release Jairus Byrd

Was Vonn Bell really that bad? Granted I didn't watch much football last year... but in the snaps I did see, I liked what I saw with Bell. He seems to be around the ball and made some nice plays. I thought I saw some long term potential there.

I'd like to re-iterate... I watched very little football last year.

Really interested to see how our CFL signing Forrest Hightower looks in OTA's and training camp. He could be an underrated option at FS.

He played good imo.... I don't get why some folks think he isn't a upgrade .... I think he is a huge upgrade.... Byrd was terrible for us.... VBell is young and hungry I see him as our starting FS next season

We're down a FS with cutting Byrd and I also don't think Harper will be back thats a SS and a FS having to be replaced and with CB.'s that we have made of glass they better do some serious thinking about these moves they are making.

Yeah he is raw there is no hiding it. Not even a year of playing time at S is a serious knock. But he showed enough IMO to be mid round pick and roll of the dice on upside. After him it gets thin really quick.

But with release of Byrd it will be interesting to see what the saints do,

a work in progress. in a single high safety line up he appeared lost way to much. school of hard knocks. let see what he does next year. I did not like the pick but he has time to prove me wrong. I will always give a player that.

Re: Saints Will Release Jairus Byrd

Vonn Bell quit on a ton of plays where the ball was overthrown, he could have made a big interception in atleast 2-3 games but intentionally slowed down and let the ball hit the turf.

B.W Webb even looked at Vonn with his hands out as if to say " why didn't you catch it?"

He is a solid tackler, but the fact he quit on some noticeable plays irked me a little.

It seems every year there are more secrets.
