In my 17 years of watching players stroll in/out of here in BB's tenure as HC I can't remember a player screwing up as much as Cyrus Jones and still seeing the field. Ridley is close. Clearly BB likes the kid and wants to give him every opportunity to succeed. Hes a 2nd rd pick and cutting a 2nd rd pick after 13 games or 2 years is bad for business.
With that said he needs to see a sports psychologist or something. This kid was a fine returner at ALA and from what I understand does a nice job in practice which is why they kept trotting him out there. These games are too important now.
He clearly has a confidence problem and should not be back on KR and PR for the remainder of the season.
Maybe he can help as a slot DB. Hes been up and down in that position as well. As we saw last night he should not be allowed on the outside.
We hear a lot about mental toughness and how important of an attribute it is for players to have if they want to succeed on this team.
As of right now Jones has zero. Too much on the line for him to play. Sorry, Cyrus. Grab some pine.
Yeah, I think we're dealing with a Chuck Knoblauch-type problem at this point and they need to get the kid a counselor. I'm rooting for him to correct this problem.
for the life of me, why didn't Flacco test the corners on deeper sideline patterns like in the past. In the past, both Baltimore and Denver worked over our corners and it seemed NE would be called for PI every other play. Does the league respect our corners more than me? Apparently so.

Edelman is 30.-Edelman is not playing his best game for awhile now. He is 31 years old. Maybe it's time to look for a replacement.
-Chung has been worse this year than last year, but he has improved the last few games (I thought he deserved ProBowl last year)
- The brilliance of this defense is simple, in theory: Every player can do everything. Ryan has been blitzing. Chris Long has been dropping to coverage. It's a Carousel Defense, every one up and down the field, orderly chaotic.
-McCourty was clearly touched by the WR. His middle finger touched his hand. DBC was the correct call.
He's not a slot guy, though. He played outside at Bama, and he's played outside here. Here's pretty solid, the one sideline catch notwithstanding. Still, he needs time to correct his issues without being on the field. It's very tough for me to watch, because he was one of the guys I didn't like in the draft, but was certain we would take anyway. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's frustrating to see him play poorly. Hope he improves.
By that logic Denver should have won the game against the Chiefs. When DMac was graced he still didn't have full control of the ball and completed the process of the catch only 1-2 steps later.
He has control of the ball when his finger touches him. Look at the play again. The ball is not moving when he's touched. Yes, it's tough to see but there is contact. His middle finger bends backward when it contacts his hand and McCourty has possession.
