Quote:My favorite excuse is the "well he doesn't have a good free safety next to him so he has to do more"... It's such crap. A good safety elevates the play others around him - cyprien doesn't do that.



He's just not a good player.


He's a player on a 5-11 team. If everything around him gets a lot better, sure the team will get better too.


It's clear that cyprien will not be a reason for any potential turnaround. If we improve, it is because players around him are different or better.


I would classify him as a miss by Caldwell.

It is a fair excuse. Not only are Brown/Evans not very good starters but they switch them out constantly so there is no consistency in the backfield with him.

 

I just don't get why people give Cyp crap for taking a bad angle or missing a tackle when almost everyone on the defense in front of him misses them first. Shouldn't we be more concerned how like 8 or 9 other guys missed?
