I had no idea how big this guy is.

Rookie, no training camp whatsoever to speak of. No off season. No contact. Thrown in as a starter against a high octane offense first rattle out of the box.

I think he played a really solid game. Couple of dimes dropped out of his reach. But by and large I see - as a fan and not an expert - what some of the pros have said about this guy.

So comment on that stop around the fifty yard line tackling that big bruiser for the Rams and forcing a punt.

This will end up being a premium pick in the second for Dallas.

Heard on the radio how Trysten Hill saw the play developing and ran as hard as he could to prevent the cut back and forcing the RB into Diggs tackle. I didn't notice that, but they seemed giddy about it on 103.3 ESPN Dallas.
I am more impressed by Hill putting out maximum effort on the play. His attitude has really improved.

yes, Hill ran his *** off ..i was impressed.

Agree on Diggs...inches away from multiple pass break ups.

On the one deeper pass, It was really cool how he turned his head and got his hands on the ball. I think he is going to be really good. The tackle you're referencing was good too. I was surprised he didn't get the pick on the tipped ball but it would have been a great play.

The Van Jefferson "contested catch"? My goodness what a hell of a play, coverage, throw and catch. I don't think Diggs could have played that any better.

I just hope it's a sign of great things to come.

I still have hopes for Chido. He just needs to be more aggressive and his confidence may be waning. If you get burned, get it on the next play. He has the physical talent.

Don't really remember Chido getting burned last night. He got picked once and they threw into the flats a lot, but the Rams didn't really challenge him downfield.

Loved the way Diggs played. He was unfortunately beat twice on two perfectly placed balls. Throw some luck our way and those are two picks.

They showed the replay last night and the first thing I noticed was Hill running and hustling on that play. He didn’t look like the disinterested player they said he was last year.

Solid game...love the fact he actually turns his head and looks for the ball. That didn’t seem to be a teaching point in the past with DBs

Diggs will have a better test next game. Julio, Ridley n Gage...this is a big boy game on the corner.

But, liked Diggs predraft and like him after 1 game. I say start him rest of the year.

Sidenote: Jourdan Lewis get well soon...#30 wasn't doing it for me in the slot.

he came to play! a bright spot on that defense. The audition continues for Chido and we'll see what Jourdan Lewis can do back from injury. I think one or none get resigned, but not both.

This kid is going to be a player. Those couple of passes were on the money and he defended them well. Excited for Diggs
