Quote: maybe overlooking he is the #3 tackler on the team with 108, right behind Poz and Smith. Not shabby for a guy whose tackling is "terrible". You just see him a lot cleaning up plays so if he is making ten tackles because guys on the line can't shed their blocks, and he misses one of those ten it looks glaring to the average viewer. Not taking into account he really shouldn't have been in that much action to begin with. Miller, Alualu, Clemmons, Odrick, are not getting the job done up front. It all starts with the line on both sides of the ball, and Cyprien is pulling double duty filling these gaps and helping  the Sergios and Davons not get beat.

 

With all due respect, you're wrong.  Odrick and Miller have played well against the run, that's why we have been one of the top teams in run average allowed.  

 

Cyprien is a box safety, the question on the table is if he was worth the 33rd pick in the draft.  When you get picked at that spot you have to be more than just an extra line backer.  Cyp is a liability in coverage plain and simple.  He gets beat routinely by RB's and LB's in space.  That's not supposed to happen with a kid taken with essentially a first round pick.  That's not on the line, that doesn't have anything to do with FS that's all about his lack of awareness and agility in space.  

 

Also, if you think Davon House should be mentioned in the same sentence with Sergio Brown or imply that Cyp HAS to help him then you better get some new glasses.
