Quote:He definitely doesn't. He's playing with a 6th round 2nd year player and a 3rd round 2nd year player at CB. A 6th round 2nd year player at FS. Multiple rookies and UDFA's at Linebacker.

 

He's constantly bailing out our corners if you actually watched the game. Lol, you're clueless kid.

 

Says the pre-pubescent Tommy.

 

Don't you like PFF?  How about you find where Mr. Cyprien ranks as a strong safety in this league.  I bet he's below average.  

 

disclaimer:  I don't take PFF's word for it, but I know you've used them as a reference in the past, so I'm interested to see what you find.

 

 

Let's be real.  Our defensive backs are below average.  The entire unit is below average.  The only guy that's impressed me is Demetrius McCray.

 

Excuses like being young can only fly for a little longer.  If Cyprien (and Evans, and Gratz) don't improve, they'll be gone before their rookie contracts are done.

 

I'm extra hard on Cyprien because he was the highest rated and most highly drafted DB for us.  He was supposed to be a leader on defenses, someone we can rely on.

 

He's failed at that.   And I'm not just talking about being clueless in coverage as he is sometimes....

 

He hasn't even put a big hit on anyone in a long time.   He's had like 75 tackles this year and still hasn't forced a fumble.  He's got ONE pass break-up, which I believe happened in week 1 when he hurt himself.  He hasn't sniffed a pass break-up since then.

 

Sorry, but he's not an impact safety.  Below average, end of story.
