Quote:i hope he gets better - i've been hoping since his rookie year that he will get better.


but this claim that having gipson back there will just automatically make his deficiencies erased is not true. overall, a better defense is able to "hide" a weak player more easily, which is exactly what the coaching staff is hoping for. They will still need to upgrade the position regardless.

No one is saying all his deficiencies will be gone. But he will be allowed to play more in his intended role. He was never meant to drop into cover 2 and cover like that.


It's similar to a DE being asked to drop back and cover like an OLB. Sure, some can, but a lot are completely mis-cast in that role. Like Clowney.


Cyp should always be in the box, close to the LOS. That plays to his strengths and away from his weaknesses. To say the addition of Gipson helping Cyp out immensely isn't true is just wrong, bc it will. And the coaches and reporters have all said that he's been much better with Gipson back there.
