He's productive and trusts what he sees. He isn't overly aggressive with his hands, either. 26 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 1 pass breakup round out his numbers through the first half of the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1270128"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d18f5662f75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gipson has good range and can cover on the outside, and I also like his presence near the line. He's also got a good frame and can create pressure when he blitzes. He's able to wrap up in open space as well. He has 16 total tackles, 3 TFLs, and 2 sacks through 5 weeks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1904054"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d18f5662ffc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shie has good length, and I like his ability to go sideline to sideline. He's got good eyes as a safety and doesn't bite on double moves. He'll stay home and not get deep. He does a good job keeping everything in front of him. He's got solid mechanics when he's 1 on 1 with a receiver. He has 18 tackles and 1 interception at the midway point of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1904058"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d18f5663067"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vinatieri has the pedigree and build to be successful on the field for a long time. He's got fantastic range and vision on the field. He's got a good feel for the things happening around him and sees things developing. He'll trust what he sees and fly to the ball. His 17 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack, 1 interception, and forced fumble through 5 weeks show some of his potential, but I feel he's just scratching the surface.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1653350"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d18f56630cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zupan is a good athlete who has success on the outside. He's got confidence as well and isn't afraid of being left out on an island. He can play physically and fight for the ball in the air as well. He's been fairly productive every week and seems to get better every week. He has 20 tackles at the midpoint of the season, with some good offenses to face still on the schedule. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
