Is it me or is Bland below average without ints?

[KingCorcoran]

Bland is young and likely to be improving, while Diggs has had two major knee surgeries and isn't himself anymore. Bland is most likely to be the one taking over at the vacated CB spot.

They both are terrible. Wishful thinking will not make them bonafide NFL players.

The INT’s definitely helped overrate him a bit. And those can come and go with luck, some of the best coverage CB’s don’t get many INT’s at all.

I would say Bland is a well above average/good starting CB, but I for sure would not pay him like an elite level CB because he had a bunch of INT’s in 2023.

Yeah, it's like we have 2 Brandon Carr's.

Sure, then you look at the scarcity of corner relative to the other positions people generally trade up for.

I get the feeling with you it starts and starts as pet cat fandom.

Dang, dude, you don't get out much, do you? I mean, you don't even appear to know the definition of "pet cat". That's when a fan falls in love w/ a certain player.

Difference making DTs are much more scarce than corners. I get the feeling w/ you it starts w/ very weird statements(like this) that have zero place on a discussion board.

Digs is great at covering the deep ball. Thesis good skill. Bland covers in breaking routes well. Digs us faster and bigger. He actually cover s better. Bond has never shut down I top reciver. Even in his best season, he got smoked NY Metcalf and they were forced to put a older Gilmore on him. Bland dies have recovery speed either. I've seen deeps chase down fast guys

The Cowboys are never going to a Super Bowl on the efforts of Diggs. Never on the efforts of Bland. And both of them on the field together means the team will be hard pressed to finish with more wins than the Giants.

I don't want to agree w/ you!!!!!

Both are decent CBs, both have holes in their game. They'd be fine w/ a big nasty pocket collapsing DLine.

Bland didn't play until the 11th game of the season in a defense completely new to him.

During those 7 games, the other CB position had 4 different starters so you know where the safety help went.

Bland averaged 4 solo tackles and 6 combined tackles per game during those 7 games. He had one forced fumble and recovery.

Despite last season, Bland has the 2nd most combined INT's over the past three seasons.

I believe he will be in the last year of his contract. I would like to see him come out to training camp healthy and ready to go.

Said every DB that played football ever.

I d keep digs over him.

Then intelligence of Cowboys fans is comedic.

Judge the DB without him making interceptions??? WTH is that? Since you’re doing that, judge the LB without tackles, the Edge without pressures, the WR without catches, the RB without carries , and the QB without completions!!aMy God this is going to be a long off season!

Oh don’t forget to judge the OL against the pass, and the DL against the run. SMDH
