[the butch]

Huddle already voted him in for OPOY...

The Huddle is resistant to change,  but in the business of pro football,  it's going to happen. 

Hesitant to read too much into offseason coachspeak? I hope so considering Armanti's a 2 time camp MVP award winner

The article ends with Proehl mentioning the offseason. Leaders and workout warriors have value in the offseason and are deserving of praise too. That doesn't mean a role will ever be carved out for them. Sometimes beating up on 2nd and 3rd teamers is just that.

Byrd over Ginn could be the WTF cut of the preseason

 

its about the fit and role.. And i feel like bryd would play the same role as Ginn. But younger and cheaper. I could see gettleman making a cut throat move like this.

I'd LIKE to see Byrd take his spot because he's improved enough to do so because I don't think Brown will ever be tough enough to play a full 19 game season. 

Hard to say Byrd would either, as small as he is, but getting him on the field is the only way to tell.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

His open field running hurts him in the return department. Very weak in space in college and normally avoids the contact. Though maybe he has made gains.

I will hold my comments till TC and press season. It's going to take a lot to knock philly off. If Byrd and Garrett keep progressing it's highly likely Bersin will be gone and we may carry a extra WR this year. 

[TheWiz]

Somebody good is Not going to make the 53. That's what happens when you have Superbowl caliber team. We need to get comfortable letting good go... so we can keep the best fit. 

[davos]

Safe: KB, Funch, & Ginn

This is going to be a hell of a camp/preseason with the WR competition:

Brown, Garrett, Norwood, Byrd, Hill, Bersin, Hamilton

 

 

[KillerKat]

If he can consistently catch in preseason, this mother fuger will be our #6 WR.

[dksmith17]

Philly is safe. Started some as a UDFA rookie. Started 11 games last year. Has had 2+ catches in every playoff game. Entering his 3rd year.

[juliosantos]

going to be a fun camp my early prediction might be on byrd over garett , norwood and hill . if he can stretch the field in the preseason like ginn then its a wrap 

[jdpanther5]

Probably the end for Bersin, but he's likely to be available if we need him later. Byrd and Garrett have practice squad eligibility, but Garrett might get picked up. Byrd spent a few weeks last year completely out of the league before we brought him back to the practice squad, so he's a safer stash. Then there's Norwood and Hill, neither of which have practice squad eligibility. The former we've invested a draft pick in, the latter a couple years of development. Not to mention Hill probably has the highest ceiling with his combination of size and speed.

Really too early to tell but I'll guess Hill and Norwood make it, Byrd and Garrett will go to the practice squad (hopefully Garrett goes unclaimed) and Bersin will be cut outright. Obviously this could, and probably will, all change once these guys actually hit the field though.

How is someone weak in space? And isn't the goal for a receiver/returner to avoid contact whenever possible?

Well what I mean is he kind of just makes a bee line for the sideline. You know those opportunities where you could dip inside and get a few more yards before giving yourself up,he doesn't really do that too much.
