All of the advanced metrics back this up too. For the Cowboys last year it took them about 3.25 seconds to generate pressure on the QB, sacks came in around 4.5 seconds. DBs that can cause a QB to hold the ball for an extra second lets those guys up front feast and rack up the negative plays.There seems to be criticism of both players around here...
I don't watch film, as you need to know what's going on as far as player assignment assignments...
But I would think Bland and a never injured Diggs would cause QBs to think an extra millisecond longer before throwing, causing windows to close for receivers.
Bland ain't afraid tackle either, actually seems very willing, like Overshown.
He is healed and it's not joure flavor for some here, but he still qualifies as an asset. It would take some to take his salary and a 3rd round pick to lose him here and now.I’d be cool with parting with Wilson if it means we can keep JLew. I feel our best DB last year was Lewis. I don’t want to lose him. What’s the cap ramifications if we do trade Diggs. I can live without Diggs and his soft play. I was done with Diggs when he went after that reporter after the game with more effort than he made tackling during the game.
I think fish is a little better than that in terms of connections, if he doesn't report it, nobody is right!!He’ll confirm once ESPN reports it.
This depends upon rules of defense and how it is structured. The defense has changed and previous standards are changed and adapted. Oh, the man is still a good cornerback and in this DC, he will be very involved and good.In favor of moving on from Diggs. Has great on-ball skills, but lacks discipline and technique, instead relying on athletic ability. Add to that poor discipline in rehabbing from his first injury, which might have contributed to his second injury.
Don’t know what the market will be for a CB who isn’t physical against the run with two knee surgeries…interesting to see how this plays out.
If that made any sense why would someone trade for Deebo? How do you shop someone with teams knowing? No one would ever be traded if that was the case.I’m in favor of moving on from Diggs. Always liked Diggs but after two knee surgeries in two years and with that big contract, he needs to go.
But…I will be shocked if any team would be willing to offer any kind of pick. Why? Because if teams know he’s being shopped they also know they could get for nothing after he’s cut AND would not have to pay his big contract.
This has what to do with my comment?Not even ballpark...what about this:
CB who stole the show during the second day of the 2025 NFL Combine. The Kentucky cornerback exploded for a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash, making him the fastest defensive back in this class. He's also someone the Dallas Cowboys have shown interest in.
During his media availability, Hairston confirmed he met with the Cowboys for an interview. He was asked how that went and was all smiles, saying he loves getting the chance to talk ball.

What happened to Diggs just makes me sick. So much potential with him and Bland together. fate intervened with multiple injuries of the type that changes careers.
The Cowboys had two 1st team All-Pros at CB and just like that......
Last season would have been so different with those two healthy along with a healthy set of DE's. Those season changing turnovers would have been there.
It's part of the game.....but it still bites.
A) Stop yellingPLEASE TRADE HIM AND GET AT LEAST a 4th back for him for this years draft
