Damond Talbot Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 BREAKING NEWS: Former South Alabama FS Standout B.J. Scott has a workout with the Buffalo Bills today
K-9 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Sounds like the safeties ain't getting it done in camp. Byrdometer goes up 2 points. GO BILLS!!!
Matt in KC Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I think all the long-ball completions are starting to get the coaching staff nervous...
Astrobot Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Pressure on Byrd to get here, Insurance if he doesn't, and serving notice that Meeks isn't getting it done.
GG Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Pressure on Byrd to get here, Insurance if he doesn't, and serving notice that Meeks isn't getting it done. Aren't the bolded contradictory?
Kellyto83TD Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Sounds like the safeties ain't getting it done in camp. Byrdometer goes up 2 points. GO BILLS!!! No. I would trade his ass the first chance I get. Safteys are needed but NOT to the tune of the money Byrd wants. NO safety is worth that type of jack period. Look get through this season and draft a damn good one next year. Trade Byrd while you can get something for him.
Damond Talbot Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Actually Duke was injured, so it might just be a back up plan to let him rest.
Kellyto83TD Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Time to play wet blanket... if this guy coming in is so good.... why isn't he already on an NFL Roster OR Why hadn't we brought him in already?
RyanC883 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Everything is fine. Prob someone to compete while Duke is resting. Who knows, a diamond in the rough? Bills have a knack for finding them (Fred Jackson). As mentioned above, Byrd is great, but not worth what he is asking. He comes in, try to trade him for a 1st rounder, draft the top safety available. We will know more for sure after Sunday's game.
Damond Talbot Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 He has had several workouts, and was on Montreal Allouettes. His forty will hurt him, but the kid is a great athlete. You cannot teach intelligence
bowery4 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 He has had several workouts, and was on Montreal Allouettes. His forty will hurt him, but the kid is a great athlete. You cannot teach intelligence True I guess but both Speed and Intelligence can be developed. Which brings up this; how is our Buffalo boy Roosevelt doing, anyone hear yet?
Damond Talbot Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 B.J. has been staying with Marcell Dareus for the past two weeks. The Bills have had him on stand by. They told him make sure he had a suit and is ready. That sounds like pretty good news. I don't know how bad Duke's injury is, but this is the week we play. So it could mean good news for the former Crimson Tide Safety

So it could mean good news for the former Crimson Tide Safety this sounds like a few players are nicked up and they need people that are willing to run around in the heat in the meantime.

NO safety is worth that type of jack period. Look get through this season and draft a damn good one next year. Trade Byrd while you can get something for him. It would be difficult to trade Byrd at this point, but I'm with you. I have no respect for these types of players. The worst thing about this is, Byrd is good, NOT great. He is no Reed or Polamalu, he just thinks he is. Not worth the hassle. For the record I believe that Byrd will eventually report (he doesn't get paid otherwise, obviously something very important to him). He will play this year (whether he starts right away after missing training camp is another story). And then the whole saga will continue next year.
Damond Talbot Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 No Saint, most teams will tell players that they have worked out before to stay around. B.J. has been living with Dareus and actually sitting and learning the playbook. That is good for him, because he should be getting the call
BuffaloBob Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Aren't the bolded contradictory? No, he is saying that signing BJ is at once pressure on Byrd to get into camp and the signing also indicates to Meeks that he isn't getting the job done (puts pressure on him as well). Certainly the fact that Meeks is not doing well also could be encouraging for Byrd, but the signing is also indication the Bills aren't going to wait around and hope Byrd decides to show up.

B.J. has been living with Dareus and actually sitting and learning the playbook. That is good for him, because he should be getting the call Yup - he was essentially our 91st body - non practicing unpaid and free to sign elsewhere. Good for him he got the call but truly just a camp body
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Kudos to Bills for continuing the search for good football players. There are other Fred Jackson/Arian Foster/Jason Peters out there. Sometimes players drive and passion can overcome whatever limitations allowed them to be initially dismissed/overlooked. Wondering why Williams is SS while Searcey is FS...,
