As to keeping quiet, that is just part of the game. |

Re: So Byrd was hurt last year
Byrd is never in anywhere near the ball
And usually 15 yards too far back When he is, he gets blown away He was turned around three times on a td in the Colts game Burnt to the crisp in the second Panthers game - manage to grab an arm one play, stood still in the endzone while a lone Panther was in his zone area on a third and goal from the 17 Ran into Lewis on an obvious interception in another game Pathetic Big bust |

And QB's often throw away from safeties. Brees is a master at faking the safety toward the right, then throwing left. And you can't blame the Center Fielder for errors by the 2nd Baseman and Shortstop. |

Watch Byrd's play really closely on NFL rewind in the Saints Panthers second game 3rd quarter. Panthers have a third and goal at 17 (from an offensive penalty) 5 guys in the endzone covering. One of the dbs on the left has to come up a little on a player. Byrd covers (oops, I mean stands there) the area next to him and just stands there as Gynn is the only guy within 10 yards of him and he is clearly his man to cover - wide open - Cam threads the ball in - 6 pts. 4th quarter. Receiver runs a post, starts to get seperation. Byrd is in perfect position as the receiver is coming right to him, he should make a play on the ball, int, or at least swat it away, instead he barely grabs the guys arm in interference and he waltzes 20 more yards into the endzone 14 points mostly attributed to Byrd We lost by how many points in this shootout? |

Re: So Byrd was hurt last year
I'm actually much more excited about Lewis being back. With two lock down corners maybe Byrd will have less responsibilities and DA will play him a little more to his skill set.
