Awuzie is better.

Better tackler, takes less risks.

And he has Joe Burrow who is way more accomplished than Dak.

Whatever.

Diggs is more valuable to his team.

And that's why we'll resign him again. He's only freaking 23.

Diggs is a film room junkie. Not only has a high football IQ, has a high IQ in general. Same with Parsons. He's not book smart, per se. But the guy does have a high level of natural intelligence, and uses the knowledge he has very well.

Parsons was talking about how Diggs actually went to prep school, so his parents cared about his education, which you can see.

Funny thing is Chido has been a baller since he left, I chalk that one up as a good second round pick because the scouts got it right.

Had Chido played under Quinn we would have seen a great outside duo with Diggs. Slide Brown into his natural slot CB role with JLew as depth and you’ve got one of the best CB rooms in the league.

I'm aware some scoff at PFF, but they're grading everybody and Diggs is currently top dog on deep throws.



He has a couple of long plays he's given up this year, but I don't remember much beyond that. Most of the time when they've tested him deep, it hasn't been a good thing for offenses. I think they are better off running crossers against him like the Rams did with Kupp. Of course, if he reads them and jumps the route, that's a TD return.

I was joking in my post. But the hate here on Awuzie was completely unwarranted. Dude was just weirdly unlucky while here. Always in perfect position, but pass after pass after pass was put a quarter inch from him deflecting it. He covered great in my opinion and I never understood the hate. I know it was controversial about how at the time Awuzie was being taught to not look back at the ball and defend by watching your receivers arms and then try and deflect a pass youre not looking at by putting your arms where the receiver is putting his arms. Regardless...Awuzie was always on his man.

Diggs is playing at ALL-PRO level this year.

That's just the truth.

Boy howdy, mate, tha is so true.
One thing I hope both Micah and Diggs can deal with is the NFL adjusting to their game. Their sophomore years might show, if not already, a decline in INTs and sacks. As to be expected.
Both are at all pro level, overfed pup, and the NFL is wiser to them.

Not really possible to remove the FS from that stat.

The opposite of last season when fails by the FS were often attributed to Diggs with regards to stats.

The Cowboys have the odd tendency to give their #1 CB more help than their #2 CB. They do it to free up Diggs to make plays when he knows he has deep help.

Awuzie was Brandon Carr 2.0. Way more consistent and reliable than people give them credit for.

Chido was a victim of Nolan. Ab and Lewis were trash under him too
