I totally agree with ya Q! I want to see us keep him and have him become the player we thought we paid!

You cant blame Byrd for being hurt. I blame the saints for continually picking up injured players in FA.

Before Byrd landed in NO, he missed a total of 5 games in 5 years. Just had a unfortunate knee injury that takes a lot of time to recover from.

On the positive side, we've added Rankins, JL, St. Nick & Robertson that will be in front of him, not to mention a solid rookie season under the belt for Stephone. Circle back to that 09 season for a second ... Greer, Jenkins, Gay, Porter, McCray did a lot of heavy lifting, allowing Sharper to freelance & use his natural instincts. I think Byrd (when healthy) still have those same traits/ability & natural instincts. I'm expecting a HUGE improvement from JB this season.

At the end of the day, I think Byrd will be better because our TEAM defense has improved (at least on paper) & will step up.

It's pretty even between offense and defense. That sounds promising.

+1. This is when the O line/D line get some serious air time.

I can't wait.

I remember last year and 2014 both Bobby and Hokie saying they didn't think there was any way this team would be 500 with the defense they saw in camp.

Nice to hear a different tune from a guy who has shown over the last 2 or 3 seasons that he doesn't wear B&G goggles.

I own 2 dozen pairs.

Although we are down a man (Kikaha), things are already shaping up on both sides of the ball. Lots of promise, talent and ammo in camp.

The NFC South is in for a surprise.
