“What happened last year shows that I can make this team. It shows that I can make plays for this team,” Byrd said. “Going into camp knowing that and knowing that I don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary for me to make this team, just continue to be who I am. If that was enough to make it last year, it will be enough to open eyes this year.”

I feel like he does have the edge over guys like Austin Duke currently, but that could all change in preseason. Can't wait until Wednesday.

If he couldnt crack the final roster in the past I cant see how he does it this year. We are alot deeper at wr than we have been. Im pretty sure Samuel will make the final roster.

Players can get better and progress. Were you more developed mentally in the 1st grade or the 3rd grade?

He cracked the 53 last year. If he keeps up his current pace, his chances of making the regular 53 are very good

I thought he looked fairly hopeless his rookie season.  Then better last preseason...  by the time he was added to the active roster, he looked like a completely different player with a lot of potential.  Don't feel like looking up the stats, but from memory, he looked really explosive on returns and had a long reception in his brief regular season appearances last season...  I'm looking forward to see what he does this preseason.

I've been thinking all along that he wouldn't make it. Bersin would be him. I'm coming around to thinking he will make it. We need that small speedy receiver. Especially if Samuel will be out for a period of time. Bersin does run clean routes and catches damn near every pass, he just isn't too much different than KB or Funch. Now that Shepard is here, the need for Bersin isn't really there anymore.

It may be just me but Byrd saying he doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary to make the team implies a sense of resting on his laurels. Even if that wasn't his intention, he's no lock to make the final 53 when four receiver spots are all but taken already.

Yeah, I don't see him making it unless we succumb to injuries. Byrd doesn't have it.

Richardson going to find a way to get Bersin on the team since he's no longer PS eligible, but I really hope Byrd takes his spot regardless.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
