Belichick gives props to Cyrus Jones

[oldrover]

Bill Belichick liked what Cyrus Jones brought as a returner vs. Texans

I'm hoping for a great redemption story here. It's possible... think of Cyrus... as being down 28-3.

 

[Deus Irae]

So.... Cyrus Jones, dead man walking?

 

[ahmed]

Lol...was thinking same thing...kiss of death.

 

[Love The Drake]

I think they really like him must be a great kid.
Or BB is like this makes no sense he played great for Saban why cant he play well for me.
It must be keeping him up at night.

Not sure who Cunk is or where he came from, but I've got a feeling that you'll be looking for him again, if/when Bolden gets the axe.

He's one muff away from being a street free agent. Lord help us if he ever has to get into a game as a DB. But yeah, he does seem to be BB's binky for now at least.

Can a second round draft pick make this team exclusively as a special teams player??.. seems to go against the Pats economic system...

A guy like him is expected to be able to field punts..

Personally, I'd like to think that they forget about a player's draft position the minute the draft is over, but it seems that they tend to hold on to high draft pick players a bit longer than others. On the other hand, they are clearly excellent at bringing in UDFAs and using late round draft picks too, so it all works out in the end.

He hasn't turned yet. His eyes are still brown.

Me, I'm a Fan of Cyrus Jones.

Me too OTG. Not because I pretend to know his upside but I do like to see what a guy does when all his chips are down. C. Jones has proven to be a scrapper. Good sign. If BB thinks he's good enough to make the roster we'll know at a minimum this guy will fight anyone and anywhere. Kind of reminds me of another beloved dude in the secondary.

Yes they can.

Though you can be forgiven for forgetting "Safety" Jordan Richards.

I'm rooting hard for this guy - you can see how much it means to him (perhaps too much sometimes) - last year was awful, but it was just 1 year.

I'm hoping he can continue to generate positive momentum - become a top level returner and also a good option at nickelback.

Is that what happens when four hours comes and goes and you still haven't contacted a medical professional?
