Damiere Byrd did not get a single offensive rep Friday night.

Philly robbed a lot of dudes of opportunities. 

Made no difference.  The coaches would make a point to see who they needed to see regardless, and guys like Byrd weren't going to play with the 1st, or likely even 2nd, team anyway.

Was thinking the same thing. Browning and Byrd didn't get to play because Philly played into the fourth.

Getting Byrd to the practice squad would be a win.  Not showing him to the Patriots isn't the worst thing in the world.  Byrd has as much long term potential as Brown and he has much better hands so hope he can stick around.  But it never seemed likely that he would make the 53 - and losing Benjamin probably made that even more unlikely because we now need five or six guys that are ready to contribute right now.

Hope he doesn't ball out in the fourth preseason game.

we have no WR talent.  If Philly wasn't getting comical pity reps Boykin and the likes could of gotten small reps they deserved.

Especially considering how the game played out with Cotchery getting hurt it was a perfect chance to see some heavier reps with guys that are more unknowns like Boykin. 

Always been a Ron guy despite his flawed ways but the dude is just too stubborn

Yeah, I also abandoned that train Friday night.  Not just because of the lack of snaps, but his quickness and speed have not done much for his PR ability either.  A huge part of that might be the scrubs blocking for him once he gets in, but he just doesn't seem very decisive.

Philly did still reps.  Especially considering how the game played out with Cotchery getting hurt it was a perfect chance to see some heavier reps with guys that are more unknowns like Boykin.

I see what ypu're saying but no one is considered an unknown to the staff at this point.  Guys that needed to play played, including Philly (whatever the staff's motivation) and including guys like Boykin on ST, and everyone else will play next week against the same caliber of talent they may or may not have played against this week had Philly caught his passes.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.

      We got 4 if you count Jared Allen. It's all an opinion piece and some of you didn't read the parameters under which they chose these players.  Come on, confess.  Who here read the whole article and who just scrolled through and looked at the pictures?
