Here is something interesting from IT on Boyd. We strapped a GoPro to his helmet so he could see what he was doing with his eyes. It helped him improve. They think he will return.
BOYD IMPROVEMENT
Kris Boyd has often been ostracized but his football character is more in line with what the staff is looking for. Guys like Boyd, Gary Johnson, and perhaps DeMarvion Overshown are what you're wanting when constructing a team identity.
Boyd has never lacked for want-to so when he makes a mistake it's not for lack of effort. Earlier in the season those mistakes were often characterized as brain-lock, which is somewhat true, but the real problem was he was losing his eyes. In recent weeks he's fared much better thanks in part to better eye discipline. To correct this the staff strapped a GoPro to his helmet during practice. This not only helped Kris but also the coaches to identify what he was seeing.
Boyd is another example of a defensive player showing improvement. He wisely wonders just how much better he'll be a year from now. Better and wealthier.
