BB's Press Conference
Anyone else listen?
What does he like best about Maroney? -- that he's been productive. Made him sound a kind of "all round" back.
Why pick him? -- well, he was the best value for "our system". And it's good to have a younger player to work with at the position.
Is he saying that the existing RBs are getting old? -- no. He's spoken to Corey Dillon but what was said was a "player-coach" conversation. Was it normal to talk to a player when another player was drafted at his position? -- BB talks to his players all the time.
Would Maroney be contributing as a KR? -- he'd have a chance to, depending on how he played.
Wouldn't comment on how the board was playing. Said that there had been opportunities to move up or down but that they'd thought it best to stay where they were.
Overall, sounded very cool and relaxed -- not overjoyed, not stressed.
