Cox blew back to back plays in the 3rd just before the 10 minute mark.

He got bailed out on a Brady underthrow and completely whiffed on Gillislee in the hole giving up 10. 

Dont need Byrd to be a pro bowler just need him to make a tackle here and there and not get caught out of position. 

I was hoping the corresponding move to signing Byrd, would be cutting Cox, fug he made my blood boil

Stop making me come back and post.  Jesus, you guys keep taking our players and want to be just like the Bills again, huh?  Call up Frank and Pete and Donnie. Get the whole band back together.

 

Byrd was never fast. Byrd was never quick. Byrd was always smart and benefited from an under appreciated defense in buffalo which allowed him to roam the backfield trained upon the QBs eyes. He will do good against a rookie or poor QB. But, at this point of his career he is essentially done.

His ability to tackle has suffered from what was one of the better free safeties in the league. But he will take the proper angle every time.

Really, I'm struggling to give any info because I can't see him as worth much. He will still snag some INT's and has a knack to get them at the right time. He's always cool under pressure.

In your scheme with a zone, cover 3 he will do well. But, don't get excited. He's always been more hype than talent becayse he gets to the right place at the right time every time.

If he can come in and bring these very things immediately (which many of us are asking, don't expect pro bowl Byrd) then that'll be a HUGE boost to our secondary

Where would Colin Jones be if not protected by Rivera?

Buffalo?

[Khyber53]

The guy he is replacing had been sitting on his couch back in the day before we called. Coleman turned out to be a mainstay for us.

Maybe lightning will strike twice here.

[JARROD]

Maybe he wanted too much money and had to humble out a little. Humble pie always helps.

@FlamFluten Yeah. would not want him to start above Kurt Coleman.

But I'd take him over potentially Colin Jones any day of the week.

Literally don't know if I could ask for more from a guy we signed off the street midseason. That sounds fantastic. I don't need Earl Thomas. Just a guy who won't fug up is perfect. Don't even care if his tackling sucks. As long as he takes the proper angle and slows the ball carrier down then Luke or TD have the speed and pursuit to clean it up.

He gets to the right place at the right time every time? I'm sold

[JARROD]

I just see him is better than anything we have now.

We have all veterans in the secondary. Adams, Byrd, Coleman. All which either made pro bowl or got snubbed. Im pleased with our safety help.
