I didn't see too much talk about his performance Sunday night. I"m sure I missed it.
But, being at the game and watching him, he's terrible. When they play him as the single high safety (even 25 yards off the LOS), he still can't get to the ball. He looks extremely slow and on top of that, he doesn't seem to play with any energy.
I predict that the team will put him on IR within a few weeks.

I mean he's had a knee injury for well over a year I wouldn't expect him to run a 4.3.

He didn't get hurt in the game. A miracle.
He was in on certain packages.

How about we let him play a few games in the system before we over react. Glad we didn't give up on Spiller after his first game against the Bucs.

He made a few solid tackles, but he looked pretty slow out there. I think a few more games under his belt will do wonders though.

You're pathetic and have been wrong about every injury prediction time frame for every player.
Where is everyone saying that he would never play again? Weren't you one of them?
He played well given his snaps, was pumping up the crowd, and I believe he blew up a run play early on for a loss or no gain. He looked fast on that play. I think you're confusing speed for awareness
He knew where everyone was supposed to be on the field, and was calling adjustments
You mean he can't get to the ball when he has the entire field to cover? Ever thought the defense maybe isn't designed to have him responsible for the entire field. Did you ever think that the single safety allows us to better play the run and short passes, especially against a Weeden led team?
He made a td saving tackle coming across the field too. Calling him terrible with zero blown coverages or even catches given up on him is just plain laughable

He was horrible I agree - hopefully he'll improve in the coming weeks.

You're nuts. His closing speed was actually noticeably good and should only get better as he gets healthier and gets more game action. PFF actually gave him a positive grade. He made 4 tackles although he played very limited snaps. Try again.

I'm sure you could tell all of that from the nose bleeds

Byrd is NOT an elite level athlete. He is a premier FS because his instincts were/are the best in the game, so it makes sense he will be a little rusty. Give him a couple of games to get back into it.

He was shaking off rust against Dallas. He'll be back to top form soon enough, and in the meantime his presence alone opposing qb's having to account for him is a positive.

single high safety
uh huh, yeah............
that's called a cover 1
could have been man under, zone under or a combo coverage under.
