Those who think that I am being too harsh with Cyrus Jones use game film to prove me wrong. List specific examples of his play that show he made progress throughout the year last year. Show me what he does right, and why I should believe that he's the best option for us at cornerback next year.

Chattabama, you have every right to be harsh, but we have to look at the unit as a whole group. Brown and Saban put on the grass a "non-Bama" standard of defensive backfield play that we have grown to expect under his watch. Trust me, as a former college ball player, CB is one of the hardest positions to play and learn when you have to play with some form of discipline. I'm not kissing Cyrus a$$ but we have to look and examine that 1.) This was his first year and to be tied with the team lead for INTs is decent 2.) He is still learning 3.) He is doing something right or showing some type of potential for Saban to play him and keep him at CB instead of moving him back to WR or asking him to transfer. All I'm saying, The kid can play. Be patient and I promise that he will make some big plays in 2014.
