Cut Jones now!

[ohiopatsfan]

I also wouldn't cut Jones. He was a good CB in college and may still have use as a backup. Just keep him off the field for any punts or kickoffs. Get Whalen active and see what he can do.

 

[skinnydog]

Id give him a offseason and preseason to see if he can be cured like Kevin Faulk was

Kevin Faulk showed something as a rookie, what has he shown?

 

[ScottishPatriots]

I am not ready to get rid of him but so far he is a big time bust. I definitely don't want him on 1 vs 1 coverage down the sideline either. I don't really like much of anything that Cyrus brings to the table.

No one is cutting a rookie 2nd round pick, they'll hope he can work through it, he'll get into next season at least.

 

[venecol]

send him to the locker room and cut him! He sucks!!!!

Dude he's a rookie!

 

[Bradyking12]

Please don't let him return punts in Denver

 

[rochrist]

Worst draft pick in Belichick's career or worst draft pick in NFL history?

 

[supafly]

No need to personally insult the man, it's clear he's ****ting his pants out there and doing stupid things as a result, it's on Bill now.

Agreed.

 

[Kontradiction]

I think he failed to block on the Slater fumble as well. He is monumentally bad as a returner. Can't catch the ball, can't execute a fair catch and doesn't even know to get away from a bouncing punt. Mediocre as a defender. Why keep him on the roster at this point?

Because these are rookie mistakes he is making. He allowed one catch on defense. That's not mediocre. And, at the very least, you need the depth at the position.

Half the forum was ready to kick Gostowski to the curb after a few missed FGs this year despite 10 years of being a top tier kicker. That Cyrus F'n Jones is getting any wiggle room from anyone - much less from BB to still play ST - is outrageous.

The same morons who wanted Ghost replaced are most probably also the ones that want to cut a talented player in his rookie season over what definitely looks like a mental issue. Just keep him out of return situations and use him as CB depth and reevaluate in the offseason.

What is the point of cutting him now ? What do you gain from that ?

 

[WhoaDirty]

I made the joke in the Game Thread asking if you can cut a player mid-game, but you can't a rookie for making dumb mistakes like he has been making. Especially if he is contributing on D in Rowe's absence.

And he was also responsible for the Brady INT, right ?

You don't need to over-exaggerate his mistakes by making him responsible for the Slater fumble. In fact I hope someone asks Slater why the **** he decided to not run through that giant gap that was to the side but instead decided to run fullspeed into a wall of people..

Pick 6 in preseason and looking somewhat useful in coverage.
BB compared him to Assante Samuel

 

[juny]

at a minimum he needs to be off return duty, 4 fumbles was the graphic tonight ( not sure if included the egregious kick ) let him try out for that role next season

 

[Jackson 2]

He's garbage

And the worst part is, he's DUMB...

You would know...

Maybe, he'll become a good defender, but he may be another overrated player from Alabama who looks good because every other Alabama player is NFL caliber especially on defense.

If there are actually people who are seriously pounding the table for him to be cut right now, they are obviously just casual fans who don't really understand the ins and outs of the game.

He's another one who excels at his craft, but doesn't really belong touching the ball or seeing targets. Harsh, I know, but there's some truth in there somewhere.

Slater is not a returner and really should not be back there fielding kicks either, but in every other area of special teams Slater is Pro Bowl caliber. Look, it's probably an exaggeration to cut him, but he is as bad as I've ever seen back there in terms of making decisions and on the physical side in terms of just holding onto the ball. I've, generally thought to cut him some slack, but this is a Super Bowl caliber team. He does not look capable of even helping them get there. If there is some one out there who can help them win now I'd cut him in a heart beat.

 

[patsfan-1982]

he has 4 fumbles in a total of 17 returns. he averages 4.7 yards per PR with 3 fumbles that's just bad coaching to keep putting him out there, let him play defense and ST coverage but keep him off the hands team

Well, then a preseason pick 6. Make him a starter.
