News: Stefon's advice to his brother

[Hawkeye0202]

This is why I'm 100% confident this kid will be fine. Not many NFL players have an ALL-Pro brother on the other side of the ball he can lean on 24-7.

What I love about the Diggs brothers is that they are work horses, strive to be better and are easy to root for

i don’t believe our fanbase appreciates just how good Diggs is

Im investing heavily, early on Diggs.
We know what the price is after the fact, buy in early and save a few bucks.
I throw Diggs a Tyron Smith type deal.
I want "term".

When we played Seattle in 2020 and Diggs was a rookie he got beat by Metcalf. When Metcalf was running in for the TD, Diggs punched the ball out and we got it on a touchback. I remember thinking to myself "we got a player there". I appreciated how he got beat for a TD and didn't give up on the play and got a TO. Most in the NFL would have accepted they got beat, Diggs didn't and he made a play. Champion's heart right there. You can't coach a never give up attitude. Either they have it or they don't. Terence Newman, Byron Jones, Carr wouldn't have made that play. They didn't have the heart Diggs has.

Jones and Carr possibly no.

Newman would have.

I read one of the comments where a guy tried to explain that QB's still threw in Digg's direction because the yardage they could gain was worth the risk.

Um....nope!

First of all, two of those 11 INT's were direct TD's. Secondly, they can be absolute game changers in both momentum and inspiration.

I read an article that broke down the "real" value of an INT as being equal to four and a half points.

I know a little bit about these boys coaching HS and seeing them play in Gaithersburg, Md , Stephon played at a powerhouse private school Good Counsel and Trevon was at Avalon. Stephon has always looked out for a Trevon and Darez. They lost their father when Stephon was like 12 or 13. Good kids , with good heads on their shoulders. You knew from HS they were making it to the NFL. Joe Hayden and Dwayne Haskins(coached against him. RIP) were others you knew would get to the league too.

Trevon was an amazing wr in Hs, he put big numbers his junior and senior years.

He's right. I think everyone realizes it about QBs now too with the pass happy league today.

4,000 yards passing isn't as impressive as it used to be.

You have to say the same thing about WRs too.

Anyone else besides me wish Stefon Diggs was wearing a Star?

I'm pretty doggoone sure Trevon does . . .

Good people as well.

There's surely no doubt but what Stefon Diggs has been a valuable resource to his brother, Trevon!

If anyone would be likely to know what makes wide receivers tick, that'd be an all-pro wide receiver.

Great resource!

They'll meet in the Super Bowl next year.

Travon's sons favorite QB is Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Flamma]

Remember, that's not counting the rookie WRs. Some of them may surprise us.

I like Diggs style of play at CB. Peeking in at the QB a lot. You're going to give up yards doing that. Do you think Everson Walls and Ron Fellows didn't give up yards? Especially Fellows. Dallas just has to make sure our Dline don't give QBs all day to throw it.

Do we have any "spice" receivers?

You have to say the same thing about WRs too.

Last season, 10 QBs threw for 4,000+ yds (Aaron Rodgers was #10(!) with 4,115).
Six more QBs were 266 yds or less from 4,000.
(It would have only taken one more 16-yard completion per game - or less - for those six to get 4,000.)
