What is the true relationship between the RBs?



Rarely during interviews will you hear one player speak disparagingly about another (ahem T.O.). Most of the time they will stick to the company line, say everything is fine, we're all professionals, or if they are near the boiling point possibly say something like, "It's a team matter and I choose to handle things behind closed doors." But sometimes whether through body language or something said inadvertently you're able to get a peek into the players true feelings.

CJ Spiller was interviewed by the press corps yesterday on BuffaloBIlls.com and over the 9:49 interview I must say I was impressed by how he handled himself. He came across as very mature, humble and a professional. He spoke very confidently in his ability and handled the question about his relationship with Fred and MarShawn at the 5:00 mark the way you would have figured. He said the relationship was "great" and there was "no jealousy amongst us". He said they "were very supportive since the decision was made" and basically said everyone was one big happy family. But it was something he said later which raised the eyebrows.

At the 8:00 mark, he was asked about the first time he saw someone wearing his jersey, an experience which seemed to fill him with pride as he talked about it but then he spoke about being a role model for kids and not "being in the papers for the wrong things and being up here answering questions about what happened (drum roll) DOWNTOWN.

Was this a swipe towards MarShawn? Did this statement give us a peek into the true relationship between a player who was once the starter but due to production and bone headed actions lost his position and the "new jack rookie"? I'm not trying to start a "rap beef" between Team Lynch and Team Spiller but watch the video and let me know what you think.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.
