Why Trevon Diggs' PFF Grade Doesn't Reflect His Interception Total

Diggs also is tied for the lead in passes defended. Why is that not valued by PFF?

But most of al to me…as they say…he passes the eye test. I cannot think of a single game this year that I thought at least part of the reason we lost was because of Diggs play. Cornerbacks are much like quarterbacks in that really bad play is usually obvious. For example….Anthony Brown has had some bad games thus year which were easy to “see”.

Once again to make a point…I cannot think of a single game where I thought Diggs was to blame for a loss or bad team performance.

You weren't even here last season. You came to pick a carcass but found a beast

He probably is a banned troll who is back.

The reason the grade is so low is not just because he's on pace to give up the most yards in 16 years and gotten the most penalties among CBs, but also he's ranked 127th out of 130 qualifying CBs in run defense.

I just hope ya'll don't be so quick to turn on him next season if none of this improves much but he only has 3 or 4 INTS.

So consider that this grading system would've have graded Deion Sanders similarly poorly. He dodged contact as a rule.

What I find amazing is that Diggs really hasn't gotten burned a lot because of mistakes he's made. Kazee has been the reason for a lot of the big plays (example NE game). Diggs has gotten beat yeah but I think its overblown.

My thought is, keep testing him then. I want a 14 INT season.

That’s a very simplistic way to evaluate players, but ok.

Am I glad we have him? Yes. Does he give up a lot of yards? Yes. Is it ALL his fault? No. Kazee has been so bad behind him that I would’ve drilled him if I was Diggs.

his coverage is fine. With or without 11 ints.

Honestly the only thing in his coverage that bothers me is that he seems to give up the inside way too easily. A lot of slants and bigger plays down the middle on him. His outside coverage is great.

Deion didn’t lead the league in yards given up and CB penalties though.

No he didn't.

He made business decisions.

correct. He gives up that crossing route over the middle. That’s virtually impossible for him to stay in phase bc he plays so far off the ball

I appreciate the great responds instead of insulting me for posting an article as if I was the person that wrote said article lol

And thanks for the thanks.

Too many people can't separate criticism of an argument from criticism of a person.
