Free agent tight end Rob Myers impressed me the first time I saw him run. I was surprised by his speed. Now he has a job because I believe he's going to make the Birds roster as the second-string tight end.
When the special team's coach spends time working with you after practice it's a good thing when you're trying to make a roster as a back up tight end. That's the situation
Special teams play a very important role in the selection of the backup players on a lineup.
I talked about being surprised by Myers' speed well that wasn't the only thing that has surprised me. He also told me he had a good feel for the offense after studying it for about three days.
That was before the first game. He was able to go out there and do a decent job. Now after being around the offense for more than a week, he was impressive in the game against the Colts.
He's looking good in practice and the Birds are giving him more opportunities to get his hands on the football.
