Are you crazy?! We're 1-3 with the Bucs coming to town before a bye. Get real. We still have a shot to turn it around.

Stop being hopeless. Its much more exciting to be hopeful and optimistic.

How so? From what I've seen Byrd wasn't exactly having an all-pro year so far, in fact he's been pretty non-existent.

We've seen how great Vaccaro and Bush can play together, maybe we should give them a chance first?

Ball is a SS because of the build but he was a ball hawk in the CFL. He may end up surprising us, he reminds me of a young, larger version of Troy Palumalu (spelled wrong, but I don't care).

Re: Jarius Byrd to IR
 

I can see Ball as the nickel corner, the same role Vaccaro played some last year

Re: Jarius Byrd to IR
 

He might end up being a more athletic Roman Harper... I think i just threw-up a little... lol

But seriously this isn't the end of the world, Byrd really wasn't doing much. This isn't like losing Sharper during the 2009 season when he was a pick machine.

We'll surely miss his 1 forced fumble and 10+ miss tackles?! (not sure the exact number) /sarcasm

Re: Jarius Byrd to IR
 

Never been a fan of Ra. Bush. But, Sunseri will see the field in situations atleast. Sorry for Byrd. Hope he fully recovers. Didn't see anything remotely special about him in the first 4 games.

Re: Jarius Byrd to IR
 

Looks like signing Bush was a good move. That bring said, time to bring Pierre back.

Re: Jarius Byrd to IR
 

This might force RR to play 2 safeties closer to the line as we no longer have Byrd back there being the roaming type safety

Which in my eyes is a plus.

Would meniscus surgery be an IR event under normal circumstances? I had surgery on my meniscus for a tear after my original knee surgery didn't heal properly(long story), but after about a month I was back to 100% normal...

Could it be Byrd's lack of production influenced Payton?
