Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Coach Sean Payton said on WWL last night that safety Jarius Byrd may return to the lineup this Sunday night against the Cowboys - or very soon. “So Jairus right now is back and he’s been practicing. I’m curious this week, all of us are. Last week was his first week back where he was able to get some reps. We will do the same and hopefully he can be available. This was kind of a targeted week going into week four.”

The Saints will be looking for their first win of the season Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, who also have injury troubles of their own, losing starting quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Dez Bryant for multiple weeks.

I have a tough time believing anything that comes out of coaches mouth these days.I know its sad but he is becoming the little boy who cried wolf anymore

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

If you remember the story that little boy finally told the truth and nobody believed him. You can figure out the moral of that story.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

No disrespect to SP but we keep hearing Byrd maybe this and Byrd maybe that!!

I hope he's fit and well to play on Sunday but I sort of have the feeling "I'll believe it when I see it".

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Who?

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

If he plays this Sunday, does that mean he doesn't play the rest of the season?

Just wondering if that is what was negotiated...

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

What's the over/under on how many games before he's out with another injury?

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

3

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

When you see a guy in a black & gold jersey with the number 31 on it take the field while we are on defense then you will know that Mr. Byrd has returned.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

If Byrd plays I'm going to buy a lottery ticket....

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Brees comes back - 2009 style.

Byrd plays like Darren Sharper.

Saints lose 3, then win 13 and win Super Bowl.


Hey, as long as we are talking about the equivalent of a Bigfoot sighting (Byrd doing some other than counting his coins), we can dream...

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

At this point, having given up him having impact as a Saint, I just hope the guy gets healthy.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I have got to admit that I am hearing the same negative rhetoric as I heard 35 years ago when the Saints had NEVER had a winning season and were 12 losses into a season.

I am beginning to believe in karma. When enough people believe in failure that is what will occur. It is sad.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

How do you think this reflects upon us as fans? Giving up on anything? I coached for a few years. My father-in-law coached for several decades and is in the Louisiana High School Hall of Fame. He told me he preached not only to his players but the student body to be positive and never give up. He was a great man and I miss him.

Anyone who gives up, player or fan, is weak and a chicken**** in my book.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Stopped reading right there. Anything that comes out of Payton's mouth concerning injured players is most likely a lie.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Which is why I have zero respect for the "tank" crowd.

You never give up, ever.

Show me a "tanker" and I'll show you a loser.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Key word "may"

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I think we have been thinking success for several years now. However it didn't matter in 2014 and hasn't matter so far in 2015.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Not giving up here. I have tickets for Sunday night and I have the flu. I could have easily sold them on the ticket exchange, BUT NEAUX!!!!!! NOT HALEAUX!!!!!! WHO DAT!!!!! :beer:

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I believe in the Saints...I just don't believe in Byrd's desire to play. If anybody has given up on anything it is the hope of Byrd fulfilling his contract as a Saint.

I honestly feel most us still know we can pull this thing around and shock the world once the pieces start clicking. We are just saying some very frustrated things right now...

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I didn't see the word Coach included in the last line.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Byrd return should help but it is Lewis we need ASAP

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Then there is the aspect of just how effective he will be after such a significant time away from play. Hope he is back, hope he is healthy, he should expect to be targeted early if so. Agree with Hagan also, Lewis healthy return may have greater impact.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

GREAT!!!!

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

i could see us going on a run if we play hard. sb, no, but contend, yeaj

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I'm looking forward to Sundays game! Having seen the pretty good job McCown did against the Panthers, I wouldn't mind him starting against the Cowboys, especially if that gives Drew an extra week to get FULLY healed!

I can't be at the Dome on Sunday (wish I could) but the Saints fans that are there need to lift the roof off the building when the Cowboys offence is on the field!

LETS GET THIS SEASON TURNED AROUND, STARTING WITH A WIN ON SUNDAY!!! . . . . . . . . . . GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I sure hope so. If not he should of been placed on the PUP list. We could of used the roster spot for extra depth and would of saved the coaches a headache from having to answer the when is Byrd coming back question each week from reporters.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I seriously doubt Byrd will have a huge impact on the defense. The Saints as a whole are not playing good football. We will continue to struggle if the play calling and execution does not improve, this includes offense and defense.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

if he picks one off i'm going buy a new car.:lolup:

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

I hope he finally plays and are able to bring to the defence what we all have been hoping for.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Is Byrd with the Vikings now? Have him listed as a Viking on on my CBS fantasy roster page...

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

Welcome aboard, SuicideKing. and, yes, we are all hoping for improvement. Hopefully we can get some addition by subtraction.

Re: Jarius Byrd May Return Sunday
 

oh I thought it said "Jarius Byrd May Return Someday" I knew that..
