Did Saints Safety Kenny Vaccaro “Call Out” Jairus Byrd After K.C. Loss?

lumm0x · 10-25-2016, 10:53 AM

We are better off with Vaccaro and Bell playing safety position. Byrd was a huge bust at FA obviously. He is pulling a Browner and just cashing a cheque. I like that KV is stepping into faces and manning up. We need to build around that leadership and not run it away.

Good for Vaccaro, really glad to see him come into his own not only as a player, but defensive leader...

Byrd has been as bad for this team as Galette was - ship him out now, with a 2017 4th round pick if necessary...

If you can get rid of Westbank for not being available, not embracing the team, not going along to get along then...

You need to move guys like Byrd, Ellerbe, hell, even Cam Jordan, if they're not giving, earning their value...

He certainly has performed poorly. Devante' (Falcons) abused him in the open field and the Ware (KC) mis tackle was equally bad.

Chalk it up as a failed experiment ... expensive one at that.

Vonn Bell started a couple weeks back and looked even worse...

There's no way in HELL Von Bell looked worse than Byrd he would have to done Absolute zero nada on the field to be worse

Saints once again signed a player that over the years they did not get a player to maximize their investment

What kind of Safety is that? Harper was more LB than Safety

I hope it's just growing pains but in the carolina game, Vonn Bell completely ignored an overthrown ball to go and hit a receiver, that is why we don't force turnovers, because our guys are dumb!

I can't disagree with this. It didn't happen in the KC game but in previous games, if you are a DB running with a receiver or behind the receiver and you are looking RIGHT at the receiver and all of a sudden you are about to run him over, wouldn't you think to look for the ball? No..not our guys, we run the receiver over instead.

And just because its the way things go when you are not very good, In the KC game, Crawley finally looked for the ball and got the fumble feet and fell over and let the receiver catch the ball anyway.

I understand these guys are backups, but ffs, do you not learn how to play the football?

Also, the play I mentioned above I watched it over and over, after the play Vaccaro literally stands infront of Bell with his hands up like "what the f*** are you doing, why not intercept the pass??"

Vaccaro looked visibly annoyed, to me he is the only guy playing with any passion at all.

He wasn't the big play. It was AJ Green.

Vacarro though isn't exactly creating turnovers himself. He may be doing all the other things well but not that.
