Byrd 2nd in ROY voting

[Pinkerton Security]

Jairus Byrd had some stiff competition, and came in 2nd in rookie of the year voting to Brian Cushing. Honestly, even though he was tied for the league lead in INT's, you cant compete with these numbers for Cushing: 134 tckls, 5 sacks, 4 INTs, 2 FF...those numbers are great for an All-Pro, let alone a rookie.

Byrd got 6 votes while Cushing got 39.

We shoulda drafted Cushing .... we were paper thin at LB and decided to take a shot with a project DE.

Brilliant.

[mybills]

I don't regret the Byrd signing.

[THRILLHO]

Couldnt expect all the votes after being put on IR and not starting all games. So kudos to Byrd! Ill take second place, Cushing did do amazing.

[patmoran2006]

alot of people thought Matthews and Cushing were system linbackers at USC and wouldnt be that good in the pros.

A lot of people were wrong.

[mybills]

Forget ROY, he's a pro bowler, baby! :up:

[Italian Stallion]

Too bad we didn't pick him instead of waste of life Maybin.

Then our first and second round picks would have finished 1 and 2 in DROY voting... cool beans.

Waste of life??

I would pay good money to see you call him that face to face.

I predict Maybin will have a VD soon. I figure he came out early for the hoes. And his fresh hair cut didn't help change my mind.

ok lets set it up..why should I be scared of a puss that can't even be onsides for a kickoff...who tweets and facebooks his life away instead of getting better?

Dude could be ransacked by almost everyone on the current roster (Lindell included)....classic case of a little ***** boy who has the body type to look strong..but isn't. If you don't believe me, watch footage from his 12 plays this year and watch him get tossed around like a used tissue

WTF? Put down the Aaron Maybin voodoo doll and step away from the pipe bro. unless Maybin banged your wife or something, in which case, as you were...

the funny thing is that he is playing against linemen who can bench 500 pounds...i love chat room heroes. the dude is 6'3 240 and you're calling him a puss. Compared to other NFL players, you may be right. Compared to 95% of the people on this board and in the world...you're wrong.

Someone needs to grow up a little bit.

[yordad]

Oh, and BTW, I am completely convinced his combine size was the product of steroids. No doubt in my mind.

[TigerJ]

I think in some years Byrd would have been ROY.

we should have drafted any of the USC LBs

but i have a feeling maybin will be a beast in the 3-4 we are about to employ as a rush LB

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

Ive been saying that all year. If we switch to a 3-4 Maybin becomes much more useful. I think he could be a monster in that defense. If they have to figure out when he is blitzing and from where every down he is bound to get through pretty frequently with his speed. He is a waste of a roster spot in our defense however.......

we could have had byrd, maluga, cushing, and wood (no levitre, dunno if that's as good) or at the worst byrd cushing and our two O line men. cushing and byrd would have been HUGE additions to our D, but we "needed" a de (in spite of being a very solid pass rushing team this year). I think it goes to show talent is talent and if a guy has it, you take him. i hope a very talented OL is there for us for LT at 9 and we grab Tebow and vick in FA next year.

Byrd has been one of the few bright spots of a mediocre season. Congrats Jairus!

We were not a very good pass rushing team this year. We were tied for 18th in sacks and sacks mean nothing.

We struggled all year to pressure QBs and it hurt us big time on 3rd down especially.

Plus our pass coverage was amazing this year and our DL still struggled to pressure.

dude, our pass D was sick and we had a huge number of turnovers, that means you can rush the passer, i said very solid, better than our numbers, and it's true.

we sucked on 3rd down and we blew against the run, and our o was the worst, that is why our team sucks, not the pass rush.
