It seems he's not as smart as they thought he'd be.  Even when he does see his assignment, he'll second guess it midstream. 

 

Anyone one else see him lock onto Fleener on the crossing route, then change his angle mid-route when he thought Luck would throw elsewhere? 

 

Of course Luck hit Fleener for a 12 yard gain or so.  The ball was well placed and Cyp may never have broken it up, but he could have at least had a chance to jar it loose or push him out of bounds 3 or 4 yds sooner - had he not considered going elsewhere mid route.  

 

Maybe he was supposed to spy the QB on that down, but letting Fleener run free to do it seems like the wrong decision. 

i say it alot and maybe it's just may biased way of interpreting stupidity for one of my favourite players but i think the guy tries to do too much 

the play that illustrated it to me was the dez bryant crossing route last week where cyp was standing around the first down marker and pushed up to try and make the tackle before the first down and got burned. 

 

This week he locked onto fleener in open space and pushed up looking for the big play so perhaps it is just poor football iq.

 

All I can say is that this is not what we drafted him for, we drafted him to be a big in the box safety and to fight with tight ends at the line of scrimmage.

Until we get a safety with the ability to play 1 high safety and the speed to cover sideline to side line we will not see cyps true potential

 

in general i think caldwell has done well enough at evaluating talent

 

I think with draft picks you have to rate them in relation to their draft status and this close you really have to go under achieiving... over achieiving.... jury still out

 

caldwell has done very well at picking up quality talent in the 4th round and beyond 

for me of his draft picks

 

jury still out: bortles, joeckel, colvin, chris smith, j harris, storm johnson,

 

underachieiving: cyprien, gratz, lee, sanders

 

overachieving d rob, mccray, evans, a rob, linder,telvin smith, bowanko

free agents he has done pretty well too considering he has been picking through other teams detritus and not really splashed the cash yet
 
players like dekoda watson are low risk high reward and on a few we have been rewarded and some we haven't 
 
i don't have any complaints with caldwell
