Diggs wasn’t really beat on the 75 yard touchdown

If you believe him taking ownership of the play in postgame means anything then I've got a beach plot in Ohio to sell you.

Keep you beach, evidently you were dumb enough to buy to start with. I want players stepping up and taking accountability something this team has not done very often. People talk this crap of no accountability and culture yet when players do step up and take accountability that is questioned as well. Nothing wrong with the team but some fans are really screw up.

He pulled up to avoid collision or he thought Kazee was jumping it. His hand missed the ball by inches. I actually think he lost track of the ball for a second. He could have turned and would have had another pick 6…

Disagree.. Diggs plays the entire thing knowing he has help from his safety. Very clear.

Even if he gets “beat” he’s knowing it’s not an issue because the safety should be sweeping anything in the area where the ball got caught.

He even let up on it as seen in the video.

If Kazee takes good angles nobody is talking about Diggs on this play.

I agree. He lost only a step on the second move but he closed the gap quickly. In fact he undercut the route before the ball got there. If it was underthrown he picks it off. The mistake was on Kazee who had coverage over the top. He took a bad angle and missed completely. In that situation, he cannot let the receiver get behind him because no one is there to make the stop. The way Diggs undercut the route makes it clear he expected help from the safety deep.

A couple of points. First, Diggs often plays "off" and then cuts in front of the receiver at the last second to pick off passes. It might have been a mistake to try that in this case but he knew he had help.

Also, watch what Diggs does after the catch. He looks back at the safety Kazee. Clearly he was thinking, "what the heck are your doing over there instead of behind the receiver?"

It makes a nice story and all, "Digg picks of Jones, Jones burns Diggs" but that is not how it went down.

Its simple - No Kazee around, Diggs would have made play on the ball, just like the Giants game. Either its a Incompletion or his 8th interception.

The slowed down frame clearly shows this.

Freak Play - not a great throw.

I believe Dipps got duped by his own guy...................... If you look at the frames, when Dipps makes his move to the the inside of the receiver it appears that he sees his SS in the corner of his eye and slows and waits for the hit that never came........... That's why he looks back momentarily as he starts to chase the receiver. Did the receiver give him a double move, hell yes but I think Diggs was in great position until he let up for that split second.

How many understood that on the patriots 75 yard td, that we were in man to man coverage?
Anyway whether you did or didn’t, Diggs wasn’t really beat, yes he bit on the double move
but he wasn’t beat , Just watched that play again, stopped it rewound it went frame by frame. Here’s my question anyone else noticed how fast Diggs closed down the receiver once he saw Jones release the ball he was about to pick another until he saw Kazee coming and he pulled up, if you don’t believe me go back and watch the play again, slow it down and you will see that he was about to pick that but slowed down when he thought Kazee was about to make a play on the ball, receiver or both.

Yes he was.

This is exactly how I explained it yesterday. Do we not remember when he made the interception on the deep bomb when he was trailing the guy at first, caught up, and moved in position to catch it? That's exactly what happened. He didn't bite hard, he bit a tad, then turned around and was chasing the guy.

To me it looked like he was about to catch up, jump up and intercept the ball. Guy has amazing leaping ability for a 6'2 guy. However, Kazee was the X factor in all of this. He came over to help, and instead of making a play on the ball, knocking it down or anything, he over ran the ball and the player. The freakiest thing I've seen in a while. But if you want to believe that Diggs was burned, then believe it. And I truly hope teams see this play, and think that they can pull a double move on my guy Diggs and challenge him. Records will be broken in Diggs behalf.

thats how most of us see it ..i saw it that way..that video shows it, first hes beat he catches up saw Kazee coming and slowed up and puts him arm up like W T H kazee when kazee whiffs hard..

those saying he got beat and beat badly aren't watching the same videos..he was in frame not even body length from the receiver and was about to close that gap and clearly pulls up when he sees Kazee coming in for the death blow or an int or PBU..i think diggs can see if he continues on and kazee does blow him up that could be worse for them to all collide ..

we al saw it and its learning moment.,.dont expect te other guy to do it just continue on and do it yourself..

Diggs was fooled hard on that double move so even if it wasnt a touchdown it wouldve been a big gain even if the Safety does his job

it was a good move

Diggs is still a baller and still is having a great season so far

If the FS had done his job it most certainly would NOT have been a big gain. It should’ve been broken up.

G2 · Oct 20, 2021

Yes he did. He got beat. So did Kazee. So did the D-line too.

If you really think about it... in a certain way he won that play.
Crazy man. Like craaaaaaaazy.

Yo, I need to step off the shrooms.

For real I never felt defeated like I normally would've. I looked at the clock and said they left too much time on it. Then here comes big Dak Prescott....

Wut would've broke our backs was a good old 2 minute touchdown drive, leaving seconds on the clock. Although I'd like to think we'd have kept em out of the endzone.

uvaballa · Oct 20, 2021

Looked like he was in man under coverage and under cut the route. Basically he forced Mac to throw it high, which he did and the safety didn't get there. I wish our other corners were more aggressive especially on 3rd and short. I would tell them to jump routes and if they get double moved just grab the WR and give up the short first down.

I’m all for calling anyone out when they deserve it.

Their is a difference in critiquing Diggs on this play vs acting like he got burned. Only person who burned Diggs on that play was his own teammate who took the worst angle possible.

He did, the WR got separation.

He got beat because he was going to try to make a pick on the inside and got double-moved. He simply guessed wrong, then he got no safety help over the top. Sometimes you gotta play it straight up especially at that point in the game.

If you’re right and Diggs tried to undercut the throw then he might have the worst ball skills in NFL history but based on this video and what we know about his ball skills I’m pretty sure he wasn’t undercutting the throw and he was passing him off to the safety.

He clearly let up there, no?

And then he recovered and could’ve made a play on the ball but moved out of the way for Kazee.

It’s right there in front of you. Whatever you decide to do with that information from there is on you but it’s clear what happened.

They both are responsible, this is simple stuff.

Never said Diggs wasn’t somewhat responsible but he didn’t get “burned”.

He was right there to make a play and backed off for Kazee. It’s right there for you to see and really no reason to argue.

If anything.. Kazee burned Diggs.

Beat, burned I have no desire to argue semantics. I also blame the D line for not getting to the QB. I'm not singling Diggs out, he kid is incredible.

Yeah seems like Diggs thought he had help here, I hope he doesn’t make that mistake again

You can see Diggs do a *** moment when he saw what Kazee did.

Diggs was beat on that play.. no matter how it’s framed otherwise. He bit on the double move.. and in today’s NFL, one false step can have you beat.

That said... I have a few caveats to that play

Kazee was in the best position (facing the QB) and should have had the throw read to make a play. Which makes me believe it was a totally miscommunication on Diggs and Kazee’s part. It’s the only explanation for the blown coverage that both are responsible for. Ok, Diggs bites on the double move.. maybe that explains his error(or maybe he was baiting.. dosent matter)Yet, there’s no reason for Kazee to miss that badly, exp at that point in the game. I’d like to hear his reasoning, but I’m sure we wouldn’t get the truth.. as Diggs has already blamed himself to protect his teammate.. which I’m actually good with at the end of the day.

They’ll learn from that blown coverage imo and move on. Just don’t let it happen again

Kazee was drunk…lol

Diggs wasn’t really beat on the 75 yard touchdown
