Replacement

Cisco flashed with early splash plays as a blitzer and hitter, but costly late-game coverage breakdowns and flawed pursuit angles dragged his grade down to replacement level.

The full breakdown

Cisco displayed a volatile performance, beginning strong with high-end flashes before faltering in the second half. He made immediate impacts in the first quarter, timing a slot blitz for a 10-yard sack (Q1 08:54) and separating Amon-Ra St. Brown from the ball with a jarring hit (Q1 00:30). However, his coverage grade dropped sharply in the fourth quarter when he was late to read a 49-yard deep post to Isaac TeSlaa (Q4 04:06) and took a poor angle on Jahmyr Gibbs' 11-yard touchdown reception (Q4 02:30). Combined with 62 routine snaps and an earlier flat pursuit angle on Gibbs' rushing score (Q3 11:06), his overall impact settled near neutral.

Strengths

Timing and burst on slot blitzes
Physicality breaking on passes over the middle
