Deadpulse Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He had a few nice returns on Saturday, leading BB to say: Quote "I thought Cyrus did a good job in the return game, both punts and kickoffs," Belichick said in his Sunday afternoon conference call. "He ran hard, ran aggressively, made good decisions with and without the ball. We had a couple situations where the ball hit the ground or was going out of bounds." A big reason the Patriots went with Jones was due to his return ability, but he has been lacking there thus far until Saturday. Will he continue to show in the return game? Will his ST value save him from a cut? Should he be cut this year? Traded? Can he rebound as a Corner? Maybe switch to Safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think they keep him but he's buried on the DC. Probably see flashes of him in obvious passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atmer Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If he continues to show up on returning job through out the remaining preseason games, I believe he eventually makes the cut just on his returning skills. I don't think he will improve in CB duties, he just look lost and don't sees to have good fundamentals. I also wouldn't count on a move to safety or something like that.

LD696 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I think he'll make the team only on the merit that there seem to be no better options available at CB right now, but will remain on the bottom of the DC. BB won't keep him just to defend the pick, but who else is out there (FA or via trade) who could take his place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he had more than Jonathan Jones, but Jones contributions to STs is much more significant. It also looks like Justin Coleman was ahead of him both on defense as the dime back and ST. Anyone see how he has looked so far this pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhunt2402 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I bet he makes the team and grows into a role on both defense and special teams. Seems like a bit of confidence would go a long way for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
