If someone has already mentioned this than i apologize. Cyp's impact on this D reminds me of Bob Sanders' impact on the Colts D years back. Do ya'll recall how bad that Colts D was with him out? They were as porous as we are now with out Cyp. His absence was a big reason Taylor/Drew/Pearman put up almost 500 yards rushing that one game during the year that the Colts won the SB(I dont remember if Bob came back in for their playoff run). It seems that we're built the same way in some regard. I think we have more beef up front but we're both built to pin the ears back and get at the QB. Our issue is we dont have the O right now to allow our D to do what we do best. Maybe im wrong but imo, I see a parallel between both D's and the Safeties that made/make these D's. It may be safe to say Cyp make the biggest impact on the performance of our D.
