​I wouldn't be upset at all if Byrd made it over Bersin. That would mean he has made a hell of a lot of progress, because Bersin is already well established.

But the thing with Byrd that people may not be so realistic about is how he will hold up physically in the NFL. He's a good bit smaller than even Corey Brown right now, who experienced his welcome to the NFL moments last year, and battled a few injuries as a result. We have to take this into account.

Definitely. Byrd would be used on gadget plays only IMO. I hope we roll with six WR

Meh...he's too white to play receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

/sarcasm.

Actually I'm fine with him being in the mix.  He's looked good at receiver the few times given the chance in games.  Just don't put him back there fielding punts...ever...again.

​Can't lie, that depth makes me a little moist.

Definitely have some speed, and anyone who watched our games early last season knows what's it like to lack that.

Some keep throwing around the word "talent", suggesting Bersin's is already defined fully, while that of the other candidates at WR is yet to be determined. I don't get it. Using the same rationale, many of you would never have given Brady a chance. Stop deciding on guys based strictly on how high they were drafted or their measurables. Put the best guys on the field, regardless of pedigree.

​I mean, if we're down 2 of our top 4 WR's, we're just about fugged anyway. So what exactly is there to debate here?

Benjamin is our #1, Olsen though he is a TE is basically our #2 WR, Funchess would be #3 in that order, Ginn would be #4, then Bersin would be battling it out with Cotchery for #5.

Again, I don't understand all the hyperbole like Bersin is going to be a top 2  or 3 option.

What does he do other than sit and wait for other to be hurt?? 

It's not help on special teams..

​Is Percy their 4th WR on the depth chart?  Also, please give specific names..not just one.

Timms is the 4th Wr for the pats and a deep play threat.  Ginn was the 4th Wr for the Cardinals  and a special teams returner.. 

Karl Hankton for years was our 4th and 5th  Wr and also our best special teams player.. 

Dante Hall was a 4yh and 5th Wr and sspecial tteams  and offensive weapon for years..

​I have never heard of Timms so I would appreciate it if you could tell me more about him.. I know that the Patriots have a history of making receivers look good, so I'm not sure yet if he is a good example.

Ginn could end being our WR4, and was probably considered a disappointment for the Cardinals.

The other two arent even in the league anymore..

It sounds like your biggest problem is that Bersin cant play special teams..those were the only examples you gave.  So is it a rule that every WR low on the depth chart MUST play special teams?  I need more current examples to see if we are one of the few teams that doesnt go by that rule.

​Just saw that Tyms had 5 catches last year..probably not a good example..

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
