They need to look for someone to push him for his spot this year.  Draft a safety, sign a safety, i'm not sure.  Get a veteran on the cheap and hope Cyprien figures out how to play.  

If there's an opportunity to upgrade the position, I'm pretty confident they'll attempt to do so if he continues to struggle.  Still, I don't think we're at the point where we can deem him a bust.

 

Donovin Darius has been working with him as a sort of mentor, and I think Darius has done a good job of identifying Cyprien's biggest issues.  In hearing him being interviewed, it really is about adapting to the speed of the game and making good decisions to get into the proper position.  When Cyprien screws up, it's hard to hide what happened. 

 

It was reported by one of the locals a while back that the team was looking forward getting Colvin out there with McCray starting on the other side.  Colvin looked okay out there.  He had one lucky break where he expected help over the top and released his guy only to discover nobody was there.  Fortunately, the ball was overthrown.  I think a lot of the struggles we're seeing, particularly in the secondary, are a direct result of inexperience, and poor communication.  That takes time to develop.
