Bucs targeted #7 often. I don't think teams are afraid to throw it his way.

Get 10 picks and he can play like that all he wants. If he doesn't get 10 picks get better stop playing like he Deon Sanders.

Diggs did well and so did the rest of the secondary. We gave up some chunks but tightened up when it mattered. Moore and McCarthy are the problem. They suck.
Did you see the tackling effort?

Diggs is a solid player, but highly overrated. The Cowboys secondary was terrible Sunday night and teams will spread them out and run on them at will due to their obvious lack of ambition to tackle around the line of scrimmage.

Besides young hungry corners, only corners I’ve seen Really want to make the tackle over the two decades for us was Scandrick

Diggs is already thinking of that huge contract. Can't get hurt before that, so no sticking his nose in to make a tackle or take on a block.

At some points in the game our beloved #7 looked good, but I saw some flaws I need to mention. On several run plays, I saw diggs basically not try hard enough to make the tackle. The one play early in the game it looked like he went backwards to avoid making the tackle!

To me I hope he doesn't act like Deion be a great cover guy, but doesn't want to tackle. I'm not saying he's terrible, not saying anything to bash him but this was something I observed last night. Please give me your thoughts!!

You are exactly correct. He was definitely back pedaling to avoid taking on the runner. I don't have a problem with a good corner not being tenacious but at least engage & offer some resistance to help the guys trailing the play to get him down.

He is really bad in run support, but I thought his coverage was actually very good last night. He had two or three really great pass breakups downfield, and honestly the touchdown he gave up was and incredible throw and catch by Brady and Evans. Not much you can do there.
Well some here think that only the Cowboys players get paid so anyone that actually makes a play for the other team is a failing by the Cowboys player......

I'm glad someone saw this, it was sad to see. I'm not coming at his coverage just him wanting to tackle
