Fly Like A Byrd - Damiere Byrd Doing Work

I do like him but where does he fit in? KB, Funchess, Sheppard, Samuel (if healthy), Bersin. It's a  random preseason game. Guys will make plays. To say he takes over as the #1 receiver that Ginn was (at least I think he was) is a stretch. 

I honestly believe Byrd can be a number 3 WR if given a honest chance.

But that's been my opinion for a long time, not just after seeing him do what he's doing tonight. He isn't surprising me tonight he's finally just getting a chance.

Guys will make plays? He's making a ton of plays

Remember that one dude on here who has never been to camp but Was still trying to argue that Byrd "doesn't have it"? Never watched a single play in person, but still acted like he knew more than others who had. Yeah....he should delete his account. 

Well right now people are arguing that Shepard's a scrub just because he didn't do much tonight, even though training camp showed otherwise. 

Huddle gonna Huddle.

Bersin's not making the team over Byrd.

Why? He gets a lot of hate around here but he's paid his dues and there isn't a receiver on this team that has Cam's trust more than Bersin. Tell me one receiver that has been with Cam longer? Sorry but that goes a long way.

Bersin can't play the Ginn role.

If Bersin's on the team we have no deep threat besides Shepard and an injury prone Samuel. Bersin doesn't help stretch the field or do anything better.

Right now, Byrd is turning heads tonight. Could've had 3 possible touchdowns and pushing 100 yards so far. I think he'll make it over Bersin.

And he might...that's up to the coaching staff to decide. I'm not saying Bersin > than Byrd. Depends on need but Bersin has been a reliable target for Cam whether people like it or not. He's not flashy but he can play any WR position. He's done everything he needed to be part of this team / league. Once again, I like Byrd and probably more than most.

I think Bersin's fine too, but I don't know if he's a piece we need for this offense. I think Shepard, CMC, and Samuel (when healthy) make up for Cam's lack of reliable options last year. We need more deep threats imo.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
