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

    • We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part. 
    • That sacks allowed number lookin juicy!  
    • This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
