Quote:Anyone who thinks Cyprien is trash, for the last 3 years, ranked top 5 in the league in DB tackles needs to look in the mirror and see a hater. You don't talk when he causes a goal line fumble, there was not ONE post saying nice job Cyp, for causing a turnover. Keeping 7 off the board. That's big time. But God forbid he miss a tackle that 2 others also missed. The NFL rankings don't lie. His job is to tackle first, and he does it and has done it consistently for 4 years. And he is not a liability in the pass game.

Fans that hate like this on a decent player any team would be happy to get make me ill, and lowers my opinion of a select few in the fan base. So many things wrong, and threads on Cyprien. For 3 years threads proclaiming Cyprien

is trash. Unreal. No wonder our FA tend to washout. No wonder the great ones don't come here. The abuse from the fans is brutal with people sniping 90% of team.

 

Poz is slow cant cover, Thomas is a bust, Ivory is a bust, Cyprien is trash. Robinson is stone hands. There has been a negative thread about every player on this team.

 

No, certain fans are the trash and just like to whine. About the wrong players always. We need a coach. Cyprien has a couple good years left.

 

I mean...

We'll start there.  Yes, I actually HAVE given him credit during the small window where he was playing well.

 

As for giving him credit for the Fumble... well, part of why they were on the goal line in the FIRST place was because he missed tackles, blew coverage, missed assignments, etc.

 

He literally lost his man on the first play of the game.

 

He was the reason for the Delay of Game on the Kickoff.

 

He gave up the final touchdown, in epic-fail fashion.

 

He didn't miss ONE tackle.  He missed MULTIPLE tackles.

 

He didn't get beat ONCE.  He got beat REPEATEDLY.

 

Where are you getting this insane nonsense that he tackles well?  Worse, that he's done so for 4 years?!

The single-game highs were four apiece by linebacker Paul Posluszny (at Tennessee) and strong safety Johnathan Cyprien (at Houston). Cyprien missed 13 tackles in his last six games.

 

Poor tackling is his M.O.  He's KNOWN for it.

Hell, take it from Cyp himself.. even he acknowledges he was bad.

 

Cyprien IS trash.

 

He has been since day 1.

Quote: 

He struggled out of the regular-season gate, swimming in coverage and taking bad angles on missed tackles.

 

After 2015:

Quote: 

Still, Cyprien’s biggest issues are missed tackles and a lack of big plays. The Florida Times-Union’s Ryan O’Halloran tracked missed tackles in 2015 and had Cyprien with a team-high 21. Cyprien has played in and started 44 games in his career and has just three forced fumbles, two interceptions and one sack.

 

He had a couple decent games at the start of the year, and suddenly people started acting like he was All Pro... but he's been this way his whole career.

 

It's not just us saying it on the boards... there's basically been articles EVERY SINGLE YEAR regarding Cyprien and his poor tackling.

 

Sorry.. but you are simply wrong.
