Funny, Diggs gambles when he give up a big play.. Joseph gets burned like toast when he does the same thing. Can't we just call a spade a spade? Diggs had an awful game and when he gambled or bit on play action, he gave up several big plays including the TD to Smith who was uncovered in the end zone, and the long pass to Brown early in the game that probably gave Minshew a huge confidence boost. I'd have to watch the game but the Eagles were throwing at Diggs and I do not recall him defending one pass. I expect Joseph to make stupid mistakes like biting on the double move, but Diggs is the star of the secondary and he needs to be better.
Diggs was not so great against the Jags too. That 19 yards pass to Zay Jones to put the Jags in position to tie the game with 8 seconds remaining was on Diggs. The Cowboys were shredded by Gardner Minshew and it was because Eagles receivers were open most of the night. No punts by the Eagles. The defense was awful.
I think teams have been staying away from Diggs because of his reputation for making interceptions. I think the Jags and Eagles were more willing to try him. I think more teams will do the same. He needs to play better.
