Quote:He diagnosed the play and read the TE's route to jump the ball.......how is that not noteworthy?
@Oklahomie : Doesnt that actually show cover skills? Ya know being able to read and react to a play? He wasnt just standing still waiting on the ball he made the correct read and at the least baited the QB into thinking the throw was there then broke on the correct angle coming from far behind the TE to get the INT and still give himself room to pickup yards afther the catch.
No its not a play every safety in the league just makes automatically it was an above average - good play made by a rookie and should standout until he makes a better play.
Careful, these two dont react well to football knowledge.

A rookie safety made a nice play and I started a thread about it. Big whoop. It just happens to be a draft pick you started one of your classic whine-fest threads about when he was drafted. So shocked you'd want to diminish Cyp's development.
Yes, of course we should expect development from a #33 selection. Well, we're seeing it now. You were wrong about him. Congratulations.
how was I wrong about him? I labelled him a Darius clone from the get-go. Thats pretty spot on what he's been so far. Its the career path he's evolving into. He's never going to be a Polamalu type. But he'll be a good physical run support box Safety that rarely gets INT's.

Except he didnt jump the route. it was overthrown and cyp caught it while running forward. I love cyp btw so dont turn that into something its not.

I dont see how it was overthrown. If Cyprien wasnt there it would of hit Cameron dead in the hands.

The gif is right on the first post of this thread.
It appears to be thrown behind the intended receiver and right to Cyprien.
Hes nice! Still have a lot of work..

Oh thats ok, ill just watch the recorded version on my TV.
Cyprien breaks on the ball when Jordan Cameron crosses the 39 yard line. Cyprien is on the 46. He recognized the route, and ran up to make the play.
There was no overthrow. It wasnt thrown right to him.

It was not a well-thrown ball. However, Cyprien made a nice read and jumped the route and would have jumped the route even if the ball was thrown to the receiver.
Apparently, however, to make a signature play he had to do a triple-somersault with a full twist and stick the landing.

Whatever you say man. The GIF is right there so obviously people see what they want to see.

Watch the instant replay after the play if you can, it shows alot more than the gif.

Ahhh. Yes. Here's a GIF from that replay. Cyprien is giving the TE 12 yards of cushion until Weeden releases the ball. He makes about a ten yard break on the ball from the moment it leaves Weeden's fingers. That's fairly impressive to me. Guess I'm just a homer. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Cyp is going to be a beast.
Quote:Cyprien made a play there that he should have made. Good for him.

Too bad no one will ever respond to this.
I guess a ten yard break on the ball isnt jumping the route anymore.
You just can't make some of the guys here happy. :no:
Makes you wonder what's missing in their lives.
An interception like that, whether easy or difficult, is just like a big game from a receiver; A good receiver will make all the easy catches just like a good DB will make all of the easy interceptions. It's significant because it's either just a one time flash or it's the light turning on for Cyprien.
That's how we realized Justin Blackmon's talent, and it's likely how we'll realize Cyprien's.
Oh, and he's a lot more productive than Evans at this point, just as I predicted... :whistling:

It's his rookie season. Adjusting to NFL caliber QBs from the DB spot is one of the hardest things to do in the NFL.
Lets not act like he's going to be like this forever. On that note, I've noticed that you're incredibly pessimistic about the future of players you clearly don't like and I'm surprised that you seem to never change your stance on them, even when you're wrong.
