Twitter: What to make of a corner with 11 INTs and most yards allowed?

If you noticed when they introduced our defense they showed the PFF ranking with each player and Anthony Brown was in the 30s I believe at the position while Diggs was in the 80s. Brown had a much higher grade.

I saw that too. AB was at 30 and Diggs was at 90. So based off their stats, not only is AB better, but there’s 60 corners in between them.

He’s given up like 3 touchdowns all season. Your point makes no sense.

According to pro football reference he’s given up four (4) TDs this year. He gave up five (5) last year.

You take away the touchdowns and all of a sudden Rodgers is rotating tires at Pep Boys. His skill set gets him the touchdowns just as Diggs’ skill set gets him the interceptions.

We'll see if ya'll keep this same energy when/if Diggs doesn't get 11 INTs in a season.

I hope ya do, but I have a feeling some of ya'll will turn on him real quick when there are no INTs, but just a ton of yards given up.

That's not even funny!

Brown has had some good days, he's been "fine" this year but it's hard to erase the hammering he took from his namesake on opening game and the PI debacle on Thanksgiving. How on Earth anyone can rate his above Diggs on ANY matric whatsoever is beyond me.

Yes. They're not even close. Brown's the much better player.

PFF for you.

This isn’t directly a shot at you, but I’m so glad that I don’t have the pessimistic mindset that a lot of people have. Seems so miserable.

And I follow a lot of Cowboys stuff on Twitter and they are the only ones that make that claim from what I see.

Can someone post stats on yards and TDs given up per game? (I cannot be ars*** looking it up).

I struggle with the boom or bust comments, I really do. The NE game but that for me was on the safety.

I'll say it again, go ask Terry McLaurin if he thinks Diggs is a decent player.

It's not pessimistic to expect his INTs numbers to not be in double digits every year going forward.

It's realistic.

Yeah I said like because it was 3 when I checked last but it was a few weeks back. If he ends up with something like 5 tubs and 12 picks then we’re still gravy.

This is not a shot at Diggs as it doesn't even seem right to me that he's given up the most yardage. I don't know how you can accomplish that without it being painfully obvious on the field. He doesn't seem to me like a completion waiting to happen. Not at all.

But it's unacceptable to give up the most yards.

11 interceptions is also undeniable. That is special.

It's the oddest year I've seen from a Cowboy and I honestly don't know how to feel about it.

I’ve said this a few times, but I’m absolutely convinced he’s being miss attributed for yardage in zone because he’s the closest guy, even when it wasn’t his zone responsibility. Diggs gives up some big plays, but he’s also been absolutely lock down for long stretches. You couldn’t even convince me he’s personally responsible for more yards given up than Brown.

He is a gambler and throwing his way is a gamble..

Odds are he won't get 11 interceptions in a season again. It is a rare feat. I don't expect him to suddenly get no interceptions per season, either. He will probably get a few each year. It sounds as if you have already turned on him.

Cowpolk · Dec 27, 2021

He has pitched a couple of near shutouts and is getting better in coverage he is still learning the NFL and has the talent needed to play

I do too. His eyes on the pick were unreal, never seen a CB give so little regard to the whereabouts of the WR on a play. It was all about him, his skill. Some CBs have seasons of "right place, right time" but Diggs lives for picks. From memory, his pick in game 1 was the only time he was "lucky" with the pass that came out of Fournettes hands and he was right there, every other time it's on his skill so yes, this season should be no fluke.

I like Diggs.

I just know how some of ya'll will be if he has 3 INTs but gives up a bunch of yards in a season. It's easy to like him when he's doing something historic, but it's not going to happen every year.

Brooksey · Dec 27, 2021

There were several bombs against him where he had great coverage and they had a lot of luck...there was one that was a safety issue.
I'd take away about 200 yards for a more realistic number

He completely shut down McLaurin twice, we'll see what he can against guys like Davante Adams and Antonio Brown, M Evans in the playoffs

I agree. Diggs is overrated. Brown is superior.
