goynahan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 At about the 14 minute mark of the Schwartz presser video on bb.com, Jim starts mentioning players in the secondary and how he's excited to work with them. He mentions Gilmore, mckelvin, then Aaron Williams, but no mention of Byrd. How do you not mention the best player back there? Do you think he subconsciously did that because in his conversations with Brandon, Whaley, etc. he was told Jairus won't be back? Really bored so figured I'd go through with making a thread of this to see what y'all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 When he speaks directly to buffalobills.com he mentions Byrd first in a nearly identical quote. Still, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm an eternal optimist, but it could be that Gilmore, McKelvin and Williams are players that he wants to work with who need more development. Just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If Schwartz had anything to do with contract negotiations, I'd be concerned. Other than that.....no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The context of the conversation was the players at Corner that he was excited about. He threw in A. Williams but then added Safety. Personally, I don't think it was anything against Byrd. Or regarding his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalter Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 coaches are always very careful when they talk about anything uncertain in their pressers. im guessing that he just doesnt want to talk up a player that hes not sure hes going to be getting yet. if he mentions byrd, the media goes nuts insisting that 1BD is desprate to sign byrd and that hes going to be an essential piece of the schwartz defense - the last thing whaley wants. i wouldnt read to much into it.

Smears Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was more concerned with the expressions on Marrone's face. Looked very "unsettled". Or am I reading into this toomuch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The fact that he mentions Byrd by name in the interview with Chris brown confirms that there was no motive behind his original comment excluding Byrd, in my opinion. Also in the Chris brown interview you can see Jim Schwartz thinking "is this guy's question ever going to end?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, I thought he mentioned Byrd as a matter of fact after double checking Byrd was the first name he mentioned (per Bills App on iPhone) sorry no linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
