Oh come on, 4.28 speed doesn't grow on trees. Yes, he muffed the punt, but it was because he was too aggressive to try and make a play. It wasn't the same as the Ravens player who just dropped the ball when he was right under it. Maybe Byrd should have been in better position, but he never really got to the ball versus letting it go through the bread basket. I think there is a big difference and I think what he did is easy to teach.

Again, those were his first NFL kick and punt returns. Also, according to this he had 1 kick return as a freshman and 2 kick returns as a sophomore and 0 punt returns at SC. Byrd had 0 live game punt returns in the NFL or college before tonight.

From what I've seen and heard, I'm impressed with his performance. We have pretty much always had a weakness or simply average return game and Bryd outperformed what we usually have. In regards to the muffed punt, I'm kind of glad it happened. It's better for it to happen here in the Preseason where he can experience it and learn from it than in actual games where it matters. Bryd will learn from this with the help of the coaches, as seen with Rivera speaking with him after the game, and he will use it to make himself better.

I missed the game but I see the Huddle is already in mid-season form.

Who were the standouts outside the string offense and defense?

All the receivers looked great, PF. Klein and the D had a day of not wrapping up runners and getting pounded on a little bit. Funchess got him an easy one, Cam moved the ball with ease and looked great. Butler needs more time. 

 

Everyone is healthy, no injuries.

Was that Rigsbee?

Reece Dismukes.

Who the radio announcer called "Dismuke Ree" on the air.

He's one of my Auburn boys and, sadly, he was terrible.  Worse than terrible actually.  Catastrophic.

Helluva college player though.  Just goes to show.

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
