A little love for Byrd.
Before Wilson started gettjng some national attention recently (and rightfully so) about his defensive prowess, people tend to forget what our other safety has done for this team.
I have the NFL Game Rewind and have seen every game twice with the exception of the Redskins game.
After week 4 or 5 I had to go BB.com to check the depth chart and make sure it was JB playing free safety. I know each telecast lists the starters and such at the beginnings of game but I don't trust these networks to get everything right with regard to personnel. Sometimes the announcers get the players names or numbers wrong during games so I had to be sure.
Anyway, Byrd was all over the field making 3rd down stops or preventing big plays from getting any bigger. At first I thouht he was down on the line as the SS but I was wrong. He was hitting hard and wasn't afraid of making contact. The only difference between he and GW is the INT's. Nobody and i mean nobody, especially on these boards, even gave him his due. Go back and watch if you can. The proof is in the pudding. He has sacrificed personal glory for team success and this is not something you see from a young pro who wants to make his mark quickly and gain notoriety in this league.
Jarius if you're reading this, know that someone here hasn't forgotten what you've done and continue to do for the Bills. The picks will come once we can mount pressure on the QB just don't lose focus.
I'm getting his jersey next after I buy Fred's.
