K-9 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I know alot of highschool kids that could smoke him. Name one. I like the occassional hyperbole from time to time but that comment is ridiculous. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I bet he plays Strong Safety. He is short and almost 210 pounds. I bet he packs a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It makes me hate the pick slightly less. It's just tough to be happy when there were very good O/D Linemen still there for the taking. 3 seasons from now this could be a great pick - we really need a physical presence in the middle. Really haven't had it since Leonard Smith left (Lawyer could have been that guy but really wasn't). My boy Shulz used to knock blocks off if I remember correct. But your point is taken...I hope Byrd is that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He better be a safety AND Start for a high second We need some ballhawks in the secondary So Byrd at FS and Donte at SS I could live with this Guess we will have to see how it plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Isn't Whitner playing FS now?In my opinion Whitner and Simpson can hit the road. Start Byrd at FS and Scott at SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingon Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Whitner was playing FS because Simpson was so terrible. The Bills thought that it would be better to move Whitner from SS than have Scott try and play FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget the shot he put on Moose Johnson in a preseason game. Tell me about your aviater and the Thai rooster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 i understand why they did it last year but Whitner himself said he would be playing FS this year Well, those plans may have just changed. Guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Kurt but he seemed to tattoo our guys more than the opponents. I don't think he was much of a ball hawk (as this guy is projected to be) but at least he was a guy who made opposing WRs think about going over the middle. Simpson looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think we're gonna see a lot of 2 LB sets with poz and mitchell....playing byrd and whitner at safety and Scott playing some hybrid lb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Schulz was kind of an enigma. He hit like a train, had 21 picks in 5 years as a starter for us, but something was missing. I do think he was our last intimidating safety before Whitner. Milloy intimidated the Patriots for one shell-shocked week in 2003 and that's about it. I gotta say that if Byrd works out, I could fall in love with McKelvin-Youboty-Whitner-Byrd-Corner-McGee in a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow college football much but it's tough to argue with this first day because the potential is certainly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really haven't had it since Leonard Smith left (Lawyer could have been that guy but really wasn't). 60 solo tackles, 4 games in a row w/takeaways, 84 tackles, career 17 ints. Kid put up the stats.

He certainly has ball skills and the reports on him are "a sure tackler" - neither of which are Ko Simpson's strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhhh, Antoine....I miss you everyday In this clusterfck of a decade, few things genuinely made me smile more than watching 'Toine drop 260 lb. TEs with ease.
