Times of Cyrus

The Pats selected CB Cyrus Jones in the 2nd round of the 2016 draft because of his exceptional punt return skills at Alabama. He was seen as the safe alternative to exposing Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola on kick coverage.

Jones has been a total disaster. In nine games, he has five fumbles. The one last night against the Ravens had fans calling for his benching or being cut by the team.

Coach Belichick has taken a different approach publicly by preaching the importance of ball security by all players.

Will Jones get another opportunity in a big situation? He fumbled in college, but made spectacular plays while playing on a national powerhouse.

It's a different world for him now. He can't keep making mistakes. The team has a significant financial investment in him, but it's not worth costing them the season by one bad play on his part.
