Quote:Neither Cyprien nor Evans were ball hawks in college, so I wouldn't count on them just developing this ability out of nowhere. Cyprien is more of a Darius-like box Safety anyway....he and Evans will get the occasional pick, I'm sure...but you'll never see either one of them be the type of INT machine that we need in the secondary - think Mathis/ Earl Thomas/ Jairus Byrd/ etc etc.  

Gratz has the tools to be one of those guys.  Just watch him play.  Who gives a crap what he did in college?  He's starting his second year and showed some serious potential in his limited play.   Of course you can't count on anything from a bunch of 2nd year guys and a handful of utility players  -  but the kid just might become that broken record you keep spinning.

 

Also - as much as I love DD  -  I think Cyprien will be significantly better.   I'm excited to see what these two get done with a little more pass rush.  I don't expect pro bowl performances - but I think they'll exceed your expectations.
