insane angle, didnt realize the amount of ground he had to cover nevermind having the IQ to diagnose that throw, lucky to have him.


Also on a negative note, Diggs nearly gave up 2 TDs if not bailed out by DLAW and Hooker, almost a different game if you factor those in. Kinda worried better offenses will try something lookin at that. Although credit to G. Wilson tho, guy is insane

It's the second clip not the first. Not sure how to get the first one to disappear. Can go right to the 50 second mark


Damn that was impressive. If wasn't for two great efforts, there should've been two TD's scored on Diggs.
I saw it live, but here you can see that Malik left Diggs hanging on that high-five. Lol

Damn Diggs gave up 2 TDs. I knew He was over rated. We should never had paid him. It will be hard to win if He keeps giving up all those touch downs. I hope he cleans that up going forward

Diggs has been great so far and in particular his tackling has been fantastic compared to prior years. I’m not sure why it isnt being talked about. Forced fumbles in week one in run support and this week it was Diggs who filled the hole on the 3rd and 2 and made the stop before the fake punt. His coverage has also been good.

I think he's fine. Every CB gets beat in the NFL. Good thing we have Hooker at safety. What a play!

Exactly, every CB will get beat at least once during a game. It happens. That's why we have a safety.

Its sad that so many Cowboy fans do not get that Quinn wants Diggs to jump these plays ....... thats why they paid Hooker and Wilson and Kearse.

This is by design and why we get so many turnovers.

Hooker had ELITE range coming out of Ohio State, but he lacked a lot of experience and wasn’t viewed as physical enough.

I haven’t seen that range out of him since his injury, but it seems to be back.

Good thing we got this guy. Kind of makes up for the absolute whiff on Taco in the 1st that year.

I worry about Diggs about as much as I worry about a rain cloud.

Not sure if Wilson was surprised by Hooker and didn't see him until too late but if he goes up and high points that ball, he had a good shot at a catch because Hooker just let the ball fall in the bread basket.

3 Cowboys DB starters got an INT vs Jets
Diggs
Kearse
Hooker

All four starters in secondary have an INT or fumble return for a TD (Bland) thus far in just the last 2 games.

Hooker had elite range and ball hawk instincts coming out of Ohio State and considered
a top 8 to 10 overall prospect during his draft class.

- He doesn't seem to have quite the same burst and sideline to sideline range since those major injuries
ala Achilles Tendon, ACL, etc. but what has been a shockingly pleasant surprise is he has been
relatively healthy since joining the Cowboys .. a far cry from his early NFL days in Indy.

- Apparently the Cowboys have been so impressed with Hooker's reliability, leadership and toughness
that they awarded him with a long term contract.

- That Jets Garrett Wilson home run TD was rare considering Hooker's forte is he usually doesn't let
plays gets behind him - and he's usually a sound, reliable open field tackler.

Cowboys in the recent past generally did not have much regards to the their safety position.

- But they flat lucked out with misses on All Pro safeties Earl Thomas and Jamal Adams as they did not
amount to anything valuable since their failed trade attempts to the Cowboys.

- Wil McClay made magic with gem finds like Donovan Wilson, Jayvon Kearse, and the Moneyball risk on
oft injured Malik Hooker,.. and apparently it hasn't stop there as uprisers such as bell, Thomas and Izzy
also seem like playmakers standing in the shadows.

Remember all the reuing of not getting Thomas or trading for Adams

I've never seen so many people count ALMOST stats. Dak ALMOST got intercepted by Sauce. Diggs ALMOST got scored on by Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson and Sauce are great players....you guys freaking out over 2 plays.
