    Byrd Replaces Simpson At Safety

    Pro Football Weekly says he projects to Free Safety and has obvious ballhawking ability.

    How many INT's did our Safeties have last year ? Yeah , I hear you.

    3 picks. 3 starters.

    Well our non-existant pass rush will give him plenty of opportunities to try and break up plays.

      http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/...e-tab-analysis

      Analysis
      Positives: Well-built athlete. ... Good initial jam at the line of scrimmage. ... Loose hips to turn and run with the receiver. ... Can shadow the receiver due to very good lateral quickness and the ability to plant and go out of his cuts. ... Late explosive burst to close on the ball. ... Gets his hands on a lot of passes. ... Natural playmaker with soft hands for the interception. ... Times leaps well and can snatch the ball out of the air. ... Good body control to make the catch outside of his frame. ... Natural with the ball in his hands. ... Good feel for the return. ... Good vision to set up blocks. ... Good agility and has a quick burst to accelerate. ... Reliable open-field tackler. ... Breaks down in space well and wraps his arms securely. ... Willing to come up in run support. ... Good bloodlines. ... Father Gill Byrd was a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback with San Diego and recently served as Chicago Bears DBs coach.


      Negatives: More quick than he is fast. ... May lack the straight-line speed for a traditional man-to-man scheme. ... Can be grabby in coverage, likely to lead to pass interference penalties in the NFL. ... Reliable open-field tackler, but isn't an intimidating hitter. ... Assisted by an aggressive pass rush and a veteran secondary at Oregon.


      well what I like about him is that his positives are twice as big as his negatives

      other then that... WHO ??? I didn't research any CB's

      If he can play S then great

                      So, I can see the concept of a S. But Byrd? How about William Moore, Rashad Johnson, or even Chip Vaughn?

                        That's too bad then. Where the hell is Whitner going to play?

                        They reason they moved him from Strong Safety in the 1st place is because he wasn't good enough there.

                          That moves Whitner to SS where he can play in the box and where INT opportunities are less.

                          If Byrd the guy can INT the ball its a good move... I hope

                          but we have a lot of CB's on the roster.. Someone is getting moved

                            Well, it looks like were not the only team thats lost on who the best S's are.

                            Oak takes Mitchell, Denver takes McBath.

                            Yet, Moore and Johnson are still there.
