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

Practice squad all but official.

doghouse

As long as he's still in the Carolinas, doubt someone else will pick him up.

Jeremy,  these doses of truth serum this morning meant to brighten our day? 

[CRA]

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.

Philly robbed a lot of dudes of opportunities. 

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

Kinda crapy but I understand why dude has been impressive. With KB gone we need more possion type guys on the team. 

[tondi]

Well if our plan is to stash him there's no reason to play him and have him do something notable that might interest another team.

[Proudiddy]

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.

Not playing in the preseason doesn't mean teams haven't taken notice
