Quote:Why would you choose that argument when it was a probowl TE and a qb who threw for 35tds last year? I guess anything to pile on cyp...

Because? What do you want me to say? Great coverage cyp! Too bad the qb threw a perfect ball and the tight end got open.


Cyp needs to make impact plays. There were only a few things we could really evaluate yesterday, being that tackling wasn't allowed... So yes, I will evaluate and criticize cyp when appropriate. It's a message board, the entire point is to discuss things and overanalyze.


Can we agree that cyp needs to make impact plays against good players? He needs to pick off a good qb every now and then. He needs to cover a good tight end sometimes. He needs to tackle and force fumbles from receivers and running backs more than he has in his 3 year career.


I'm not just blindly assuming he's going to play significantly better in his 4th year like some people here do. He needs to show us all he belongs here and deserves a contract extension. I would be stoked if he managed to do that, but my money is on him being average again and Caldwell addressing the position in free agency and/or the draft next year.
