There's no way Cyrus Jones makes this team, correct?

0:03.7

I mean, the only thing that would make you believe that he is going to make the team is the investment, right?

0:09.3

He's a second round draft.

0:10.5

Yeah, I mean, and it's rare that you get rid of a second round pick after just one year.

0:15.9

That said, the biggest problem is I think the term they use for it down there is error repeaters

0:24.0

right sure you don't want to you can make a mistake just don't make the same mistakes

0:28.7

over and over again and now it feels like it's in his head so it's just the way he makes the team guys

0:34.7

is if somehow over the next three weeks he shows I can contribute as a punt returner.

0:41.4

I think that's his path to a roster spot, which sounds crazy for a second round pick.

0:45.3

But he was dynamic at that at Alabama.

0:48.5

And he's a guy who, if you can put him back there, you're saving miles on Julian Edelman's legs, you're saving miles on Danny and Mendoza's legs, guys who are now in their 30s and have been beaten up a bunch. And so that would be real value. If he can add that as a punt return, but they, like, do you trust him back there? No. I don't even, like, the hard thing about it is, like, I don't know if there's anything

game one last Thursday night?

2:07.2

To me, looking at that, I'm like, yeah, I can tell you one thing right now.

2:12.6

This guy is certainly not ready to play in the league.

2:16.9

I don't know if I'm absolutely convinced he can't play, you know.

2:22.7
