<p class="bbc_indent" style="margin-left:40px;">Safety John Cyprien (+3.4) backed up his solid game against the Bills two weeks ago and played the best game of his career yesterday. While he did defend one of the three passes thrown his way, his biggest contribution came in the running game. He finished the game with a team-high 10 solo tackles without missing any tackle attempts. Eight of Cyprien’s 10 tackles were stops, which constituted in an offensive failure. His run stop percentage of 25.9% led all safeties in Week 9 as he picked up seven run stops on 27 run snaps.

I thought Cyprien looked really good on Sunday. My problem is, he'll do it a couple of games then look like he has his head firmly implanted between his butt cheeks the next. I hope he can keep up the good work.


Unfortunately, this defense isn't going to be very good until we develop a pass rush. And that, in all likelihood, won't happen this year.
