All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
I am starting to believe that Byrd's overall play and tackling ability is among the best in the league at his position. If he can get back to his ball hawking ways he may be considered even better.
I'm a big fan of the style of football this young safety is playing.
Re: Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
heh, i just my thoughts about Byrd in the thread about Wilson. His tackling ability is top flight. There's so many plays he stops before they get started; plays that would have been broken against us in years past. He doesn't whiff ever. He plays like a 10 year veteran.

Re: Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
I agree. He plays smart and aggressive. He has ample talent. He might not be the fastest free safety in the league, but he has enough speed to handle the position with no problem. He's also a solid tackler. Honestly, I don't care where the interceptions come as long as the Bills keep making them in bunches. I think Byrd will get his share over time.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Re: Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
what people seem to ignore is how QBs shy away from throwing the ball in Byrd's direction...his rookie campaign was no fluke, he is a stud...now he's proving to be a stud in more than just the passing game

If it weren't for Byrd, McCoy would have taken that long run for a TD. Byrd laid him out and nearly forced another fumble on him! The best is yet to come with him!
Re: Jairus Byrd one of the best young safeties in the league?
CBs and Safteys are judged way to much by there interception stats. Like billsrock said, If they wont throw it at you, you cant intercept it. Look at Revis. Most saftey INTs and tips and bounces and some of that is luck/having a nack of being in the right place. But its nice seeing a solid tacklet we can count on back there.
