Is it just me though or does anyone else have a tough time trying to remember more than 4-5 times where Diggs has actually been beaten, one on one, for a big play??? I’m not even trying to be a homer here- honest to God, I can’t recall more than a handful of times where Diggs was beaten by the guy he was going up against for a big play.
All of these “yards” these stat nerds speak of I feel were akin to that 80 yard bomb Mac Jones hit Kendrick Bourne on, aka a play that happened mostly due to an error/bad angle/bad read by the safety.
If I am incorrect, I will gladly admit it. But can anyone prove it??
40 some odd yard play vs chargers - pretty sure it was Allen - this was zone but Diggs dinged on it
dj Moore had some catches on him. I forget who the wr was but there was a big play late - short pass - w a long run that went against Diggs - a lot of bs yards like this in garbage time goes against Diggs
same thing the following week vs nyg - toney had a bunch of garbage stats against him
the big Bourne td - really kazees fault but goes against Diggs
I think Tim Parker beat Diggs deep for a td
saints had a garbage time td - 5 yard pass turned 70 yard td bc Diggs doesn’t tackle - more garbage time yards
Can sims made a huge play for a td on a great congested catch - can’t do anything about that one. Coverage was fine
another deep ball last week beat diggs but Kazee blew that one too
this is the majority of his season
a few deep balls. Some beat him , others Kazee blew and Diggs dinged.
A lot of garbage yards
a lot of short passes for long gains bc he can’t tackle
notice how nobody beat Diggs and his coverage was absolutely blown - it’s literally never happened
also notice how none of these are plays he gabled on. Another lie about his game
his coverage isn’t perfect. He’s a young ascending player. He’s not Deion. He gets beat at times and he doesn’t tackle on short passes and they sometimes go for long gains
