Schottenheimer wouldn't even think about playing Diggs at S

[coult44]

Must be the dumbest question in the history of DC media.

 

[cowboyec]

he's shy enough at corner.
can't imagine how timid he'd be at s.
thats why i love donovan wilson back there.
he has yet to encounter something he won't launch into.
im surprised he hasn't nailed a ref yet.
its coming.
#6 is not shy or timid...thats for sure.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Put him outside see if he is committed, if he is your DB room just got a huge uptick if he isnt sit his arss and dont let him on the field again.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Yeah, that makes sense. But a corner who can't even stay healthy there to the more violent safety position. Why is that even a question?

 

[Kingofholland]

Why would anyone consider playing Diggs at Safety?
You'd be better off resigning Zeke to play Center full time and Beebe to field goal kicker!

I can understand the thought with Diggs looking slower post injuries, but with bis tackling it's hard to imagine him coming up for run support, loo.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Okay. I get it.

But don't lie and say he's a shut down corner.

He's never been that.

 

[RonWashington]

So why would anyone want a saftey that wont tackle?

Exactly . Even FS like Hooker the position dictates you may have to come up and tackle . Glad the HC shut that down

Me too. Diggs as Safety is a disaster. He doesn't like tackling. He aint Jalen Ramsey who will come up and lay the wood. (The Steelers moved Jalen Ramsey to FS).

I want to know who would even suggest it that worst tackler on the team.

Broduss was talking bout it last week on G-bag nation but I didn’t hear the whole thing as I was working

Do we really need further proof of his lack of desire? He's shown his hand repeatedly. Get this clown out of Dallas. Don't need him.

 

[jazzcat22]

I think Diggs can rebound and become the player he once was.
Getting some picks.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I am not a Diggs fan and want him off this team as soon as possible.

On the issue of playing any CB as a safety, it depends on the down and distance. 3rd and long or obvious passing situations, I think it could work. CBs are usually faster and better at covering WRs than safeties.

 

[JayFord]

He cant tackle well so i agree with Brian

 

[John813]

Odd question. Diggs wasn't like Jones, playing out of his true position all these years.

 

[Rayman70]

Keep him at home on the couch. This team is playing in a groove without him.

Yeah, why does this keep coming up? Diggs is perhaps the least likely CB in the entire NFL to convert to safety with his skillset (or should I say lack of ). I think some people just don't really understand the game very well and see struggling corners converted to safety from time to time and think every corner who has slipped should start playing safety. It's literally been said about most of our CBs the past few years. Diggs is NOT a safety

Everybody wants a piece of the pie when it’s good! Of course he wants back when the D is rolling

 

[Rayman70]

Bingo. He didn't have any part of us rallying back into being viable. Now suddenly he has a come to Jesus epiphany? Lol. Color me skeptical.

 

[G2]

The secondary is better with him at CB, IF he can stay healthy.

I’m confident Beebe’s mom would hold kicks well and be a decent practice partner. So maybe on that.

No on zeke. Sorry.
