The biggest area of improve e t is press coverage berate. He was the highest rated in that area coming out of college. Now he plays off way too much. He’s big, so he should jam receivers more often . Then play off sometimes to switch it up. That’ll make him a combination of Byron Jones and Asante Samuel.

He's a ball hawk that isn't a fantastic cover corner.
He's going to benefit from the QB making a lot of rushed throws.
Got to rush the QB consistently to get rushed throws.

You can’t really overrate the next Deion

We’ve seen him cover well. He even covered well the last two Games. He gets beat sometimes, but he’s good . He should press more.

I just don’t understand how you guys are really confused on this stuff. The answer is so obvious it’s staring you in the face.
injuries. Gregory in particular and the the injury struggles of the offense.
lack of pass rush makes him cover longer and he can’t jump routs knowing the ball has to come out quick. Offense is struggling so teams aren’t one dimensional and don’t have to play catch up.

yeah this is a fairly simple answer. i'd imagine once the line improves he'll magically improve as well. just a hunch

Some of you guys are spoiled. Interceptions in consecutive games is a rarity. The fact that he had a record going says a lot about him.
He'll be fine.
No reasonable fan expects Diggs not to get beat here and there.
The game is tilted towards the passing game.
I like what he's doing and have no problems with him whatsoever.

I hate to say this but I have to.
If you look at the number of yards and big plays given up by Diggs this season, he'd be considered one of the worst CB's in football if not for the eight picks. His ball skills are perhaps the best in the NFL, so that's really what makes him such a threat to opposing offenses. But if he can't make a play on the football, it's a near certainty it's a big play for the other team.
Again, this isn't a criticism of Diggs, since he's basically a wide receiver playing DB and I've never seen a Cowboys corner attack the football as well as him in my lifetime. I was just a toddler when Everson Walls was picking off the entire league.

It looked to me like the Raiders stayed away from him except for a few short passes where he played well off the receiver. But that could have been because the Raiders had a plan to throw at Anthony Brown all day and once they had some success they stuck with it.
It looks to me like the entire secondary has lost something lately. Perhaps, as others have said, it has something to do with the lack of a pass rush. We'll see what happens when Gregory gets back.
It seems to me the secondary should be pretty angry about the way they played on Thanksgiving.

I know he had a injury for a bit. Maybe lingering. Now I worry about Brown and his confidence. I see the saints opening play being a bomb on Browns side. He will need Safety help..

As a pure cover corner Diggs isn't better than solid. His ball skills are of course elite.
When they started comparing him to Deion Sanders the shark was jumped.
