Play of the Day...

Great to read that Damiere Byrd continues to be performing so well this year in OTAs & minicamp.  In his post-practice comments, Ron made it sound as if he thinks Byrd could possibly be a real contributor this season.

Towards the end of his presser, Ron got talking about how pleased he is with the diversity of skills & talents among the WR and how tough the competition will be.  In addition to KB & Funch, Ron talked of Ginn, Philly & Byrd for their speed and Bersin & Norwood as versatile possession receivers.

Sounds for now as if those are his top 7 at the moment.  He didn't mention Hill or Garrett, for what it's worth.

Nice. Do you think Byrd could challenge Philly Brown's spot? 

In his comments, Ron mentioned Philly ahead of Byrd for what it's worth.  But of course he was not giving his ranking of the players.  I'm just noting who he seemed most excited about.  He was specifically asked about Funch & KB but then quickly went on to talk of his excitement about the other guys beyond KB & Funch.  He mentioned Ginn, Brown, Byrd grouped together, and then added in Bersin & Norwood in terms of possession receivers.

Specifically Ron mentioned vertical threats; guys who can go up and catch the ball; guys who can get underneath; possession receivers... he really sounds pleased about the mix of guys they've got to work with and what that can bring to the offense.

You can listen here, starting about 09:54 or so.... he first starts talking about Byrd's improvement, then moves on to talk about the other WRs

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
