What Kevin Byard Brings to the Chicago Bears

[@maskedman5657]

Kevin Byard is such a great player. Loved him on the Titans

[@GetTonedFitness]

now as a Bear im not so excited - he was brought to Philly last yr to shore up the middle - Philly season collapsed 10 games later and they let him go

[@maskedman5657]

@@GetTonedFitness but that wasn't his fault it collapsed

[@landenroberts6710]

@@maskedman5657yeah they had multiple injuries and weren’t running a great defensive scheme they weren’t that good for most of the year

[@landenroberts6710]

I definitely like Kevin byard at 7.5 million more than Xavier McKinney for 17 mil

[@kingsgaurd]

I am just glad there will not be so many missed tackles from the Bears Safetys.

[@NickkaDUB]

Or getting hurt because you pull up and try not to make a tackle. Or actually teach the rookies that they don’t need to tackle and they just need to focus on turnovers (on camera). Or be more worried about what dance you’re doing that week instead of watching tape. Or celebrate a turnover on the far side of the field when you’re down 26 late in the game. Or have your crew make excuses for you on Twitter when I call you out for not tackling and being soft. Or or or… I can go on forever about him and not feel bad because he wasn’t the leader he was supposed to be. We all know our D Line wasn’t doing the DBs any favors, but you being the vet and making the money are supposed to encourage them and help them instead of calling them out when you’re getting burnt every game yourself.

Exactly byard to fill in for Jackson to pair with our young elite SS in brisker. Last year in his second year he learned the speed of the nfl and the schemes, brisker had 17 solo tackles as a safety in one game.. then Jaylon Johnson paired with Stevenson and Kyle Gordon in the slot.. our DBs maybe the #1 in the league and the youngest.. we have the best LB core if not too 3-5. And our DL is getting better and better especially with sweat all we need is another edge and our defense will be so hard to score on

[@GCTization]

Excellent breakdown! Thanks for getting this tape out so quick! Total upgrade over Eddie. Fast breaks, aggressive, technically sound tackler, great at reading offenses and reacting in the moment, great with leverage! One suggestion, it would be great if you also showed some of his lowlights too, to see what he needs to work on. But awesome analysis and thanks from an excited Bears fan!

[@Chicago2714]

Appreciate the footage my good Sr. 💯💯💯

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Think him and Gordon are interchangeable on some plays as well which could really throw O off. Gordon all of a sudden is Single High and B-Yard in the Nickle (He can cover/Blitz there)

[@MobbKeith]

D-coordinator will have fun drawing up plays for these guys. Plus, we got a quick Mike who plays the pass excellent. This back 7 is DANGEROUS

[@davidlucero7725]

Great films!

[@loubest37]

Thanks for the quick analysis. Very smart player who will be an excellent QB for a young secondary.

[@jimringomartin]

Nice job on this analysis. I must admit, I haven't seen much on him and he looks like a good compliment to our defense.

[@jimabrahams3576]

I really have no idea how guys this talented slip through the salary structure thing. Great pick up!

[@edwardwilson9195]

As soon as they released him I was saying on your other KZbin channel Raiders need to sign this man.

[@squeaky402382]

Great breakdown!! Love your breakdown of the bears!! 🐻 ⬇️

[@raymondbrolly18499]

Nice breakdown again. Nice signing again from Poles. I think we can trade down from #9, but still get the top DE in the draft(Turner imo). 🐻⬇️

[@Belligerentpotatoes]

People will bring up his age but I think it’s overblown. He obviously won’t be as good as he was when he was younger but with such a young secondary the Bears need a veteran who can read the game and most importantly hits like Eberflus wants, something Eddie lacked severely.

[@IAMVICTORIUS777]

YESSIR I Love this pick up. Kevin is a DOG and the miss tackles on the back end will be shored up for sure now. I respect EJacks but I think it was time to get someone else back there which can change the whole complexion of the D in a good way!

[@eamonmcmahon6659]

Major upgrade over Eddie Jackson, who tackled like a bullfighter. Ole!

[@EmmettGeorge]

Def an upgrade. He is a hitter many. cats coming off that ball too.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

He brings the best jump route Safety in 🏈. He's not a deep CF but can play it fine. If Brisker isn't 100% I think he moves to SS. I thought we had guys on the roster who had earned a spot. 🤷💯 If you liked Mike Brown like I did, you will like Byard Down.

[@CashTheRealest]

Go Bears! Great video

[@johnnysilver5866]

Eddie Jackson’s cap hit would be around $14M/yr , Bears upgraded at the position for half the cost. Good job, Poles - NOW SIGN DANIELLE HUNTER

[@DeuxGeaux]

Brings the ballhawk and much needed tackler. Love Eddie but he was not the enforcer you want at safety.

[@Beardown451]

Idk why ppl say he’s washed cuz he had a down year. He’s still elite imo. I think switching teams learning a new defense on the fly was hard. He’s got a good running mate with brisker and a great cb secondary

[@MobbKeith]

That play against the Cowboys where Byard leaves his assignment, the TE, to cover the FB, is what great players do. Reminded me of MJ in 98 finals, letting B.Scott go to creep behind K.Malone & get the steal. Which led to the game winning shot. Different sports but same concept on defense.

[@CJNiceykiins]

Awesome note and great comparison, elite ball knowledge

[@kyledabearsfan]

High upside, low risk. Great contract. King Poles does it again. He had a down year with Philly, but I have faith in our lord Poles.

[@scottnorris1615]

I am a Philly fan and I have to say I don't think this video will age well. Play 1 run blitz and he makes a play. Play 2 Greg Cosell reviewed this and said Mahomes underthrew the ball. Play 3 Jordan Davis made that play. Byard WAS a really good football player. I think his best days are well behind him. Time will tell.

[@IMMALIAR]

The whole point is he’s better than bojack n cheaper

[@ramos2092]

I'm also an eagles fan, but our whole defense was bad. Can't just blame one season and say he's a bad player. Scheme and defense coaches were horrible.

[@kayncaruth506]

I think your good opinions are way behind you

[@scottnorris1615]

@@ramos2092 I didn't say he was a bad player I just said his best days were behind him. I've watched a lot of good safeties back to the says of Brian Dawkins and Byard just looked a step slow. Maybe that is the horrendous scheme, or maybe he has lost a step.

[@scottnorris1615]

@@kayncaruth506 I think forming a half decent play on words is beyond you.

Where is this scouting school and where do I sign up

The Football academy

or maybe it's the scouting academy

Is it "Buy-ard", or "Bee-yard"? I think it is the latter

[@donttrip1818]

The first one

[@ShowalterEnterpriseCapital]

Still my favorite Titan!

[@appnzllr]

Players and coaches on the Eagles (and fans) thought 2023 SB57 was just the beginning, so SB57 wasn't that critical. Then the coordinators left, and every year more and more core players leave. The Eagles are in ANOTHER rebuilding phase. Aargh!

[@larrylemons5265]

Better than No Tackle Jackson

[@ronaldgilman9034]

Defense will be complete after we sign edge and DT .

[@theenilenation]

I like him but with Justin Simmons available he would have been a better option

[@CASHATHAND]

Better option maybe but the money wouldnt be the same. The value u are getting for half the cost is more important to me

[@peaceasyx]

Wouldn’t be 7.5 mil a year

got to stay on the field

He got traded to the Eagles.

[@threezysworld8089]

Poles is the real deal but BUST'in has to go.

[@gobot581]

Man the Eagles were desperate at safety and their rookie played better than him and got cut after being traded for not much. He might be done

[@sue1jeff]

Watched him in Philly, he is washed

[@psygolf7120]

Philly was washed

[@GetTonedFitness]

@@psygolf7120 haha - good point

[@kyledabearsfan]

He did have a down year, but he didn't get an off-season with them either. He was trying to learn their system during the shortened season. I think it's a high upside/low risk move. And it least the contract is reasonable too.

[@IMMALIAR]

I mean who on phillys d was good? the whole operation was washed including the defensive coordinator,eberflus will make him better

[@chetborodziuk2646]

Really wow cause almost all this film we watching is last year from philly and he looks like ur best defender.
