For one, the guy has a Super Bowl Ring...and he didn't just get a ring for being there. He was one of the reasons why they won. He has always been doubted, or underappreciated, but comes in and balls and makes people look foolish for not appreciating him. An UDFA that grades out in the mid 70s? When have we seen that here out of a LB in recent history? Pratt barely broke 50 last year and we were all excited (I think) about his play by the end of the season.
Bynes is a veteran, lunch-pail worker that has a lot of experience. He can line up at SAM in base, and move up to rush the passer without changing personnel. Oh, and he got two INTs last year. That was more than all of our CBs except one.
Agreed..I don't think everyone on this board sees the true value Bynes will bring. A steady Vet presence with a Superbowl on his resume.
All the new rookies, ADG, Wilson, Baily will be soaking it up and will have only this a baseline instead of the old way.
