CeeDee Lamb on Stephon Gilmore: “He’s the smartest defensive back that I’ve ever lined up against. He knows certain routes off of my alignment, and it sucks. It’s really chess with him. You’re not just running a route, and that’s making me better. … On the walk-through reps, he’ll tell me what he’s thinking, just off my alignment. … Just picking his brain. It’s tough going against him, but I like it.”

Translation: Trevon Diggs is dumb.

Haha, Gilmore has 8 more seasons of playing wisdom than Diggs. And thats probably what has helped him as hes gotten older. CB is a tough position to play in the NFL and is probably still figuring it out. Gilmore didnt become a pro bowler until his 5th season, but were lucky to have him here sharing his wisdom.

That comment is dumb!
Stephon Gilmore is a top CB because he is a student of the game. Diggs is a top CB because he is a phenomenal athlete with great ball skills.
Because Diggs relies on his athletic ability and ball skills to be a top CB does not mean he is dumb. To have good ball skills you have to use your brain, as well as, your athletic ability.

Diggs has a similar style to Deon and nobody ever called him dumb.

Funny how we're not hearing much. Fans should be screaming in happiness when we picked him up.

I'll never quite understand what makes many fans tick.

Gallup will tell you when Gilmore picked off Dak that game against the Colts.
Gallup himself busting routes did not help matters that led to Dak INTs, ..(way too often)...
but we went after Gilmore in the Indy game, ..and we paid the price per INT and we could not take advantage of him.
