I figured you would say Jourdan Lewis at slot corner - wiley vet, team leader and coach-on-the field. Diggs is NOT as good as Bland. Covers like Bland but chooses when he’ll contribute in run support. I’ll take Bland all day every day.
Diggs "if healthy"....hilarious.

Bland is not yet on the level as a pure coverage guy as a " healthy Digg, imo.

It even took coaches to switch an aging Gilmore to cover Seattle WR DK Metcalf who was just feasting upon Bland - even in a record breaking INT for Bland
season last year.

That game alone separated the difference in man coverage between a healthy Diggs vs Daron Bland...

But it is true that Bland is much more physical than Diggs, when it comes to tackling, run support, and mauling WRs off their routes.

Well, some of that is who is on the other side. Philly, for instance, went hard after Booth. I remember it being the same for Diggs, as far as being targeted. Makes sense when both have been interception leaders and All-Pros. Why attack them unless you have to?

He has played very well.

Did anyone else see the blatant push off by Brown when he scored vs Bland. Bland started to complain, but stopped.
