Twitter: This is why you can't trust PFF Trevon Diggs

[CWR]

Most of us that watched knew Diggs was taking heat for other people’s blown coverages. He’s definitely a gambler, but blown safety coverage was a bigger issue over the top.

Kazee hung him out to dry a few times.

I don't understand the criticism of PFF. They're giving Diggs the 2nd highest 'adjusted' coverage rate of all CBs since 2006.

Because knowledgeable football fans understand that PFF is garbage.

WHAT IS "ADJUSTED"?

I have no idea what adjustments they're making, nor how they calculate unadjusted coverage rate. Consequently, I have no idea why anyone should give a damn about this.

Sure. I have no interest in defending PFF's honor. It still seems confused (and therefore confusing) to cite their favorable rating of Diggs as the reason PFF can't be trusted.

What makes it garbage though? No one can ever say.

I don't trust PFF but I do trust my own eyes when I see #7 catching the ball and going the other way with it.

Never get tired of seeing the New England pick 6.

Darrelle Revis never had more than 6 Ints but he changed the way the Jets could play defense for years. Diggs isn't doing that for us, so while his play is fine and his INTs certainly help make up for plays he has given up, it's not like he is shutting down half of the field. I think the question is would people be saying the same thing if Diggs had 4 INTs instead of 11, which is far more likely where that number will be this year? Maybe we would.

I still need a little clarification on how it was adjusted.
They just threw out the PFF grades?
I could only see a portion of the article because I'm not giving PFF any of my filthy lucre, unlike @Hennessy_King

Same as you with paywall. Seems a metric was created and applied I also think some warp theory was involved plus string and chaos theory.

I'm kinda with you there.
Appreciate the honesty.

They adjusted what they adjusted hope that helps

I remember years back they graded Aaron Rodgers pretty low for a game where he threw about 4 tds and I think 1 pick, ever since then I've always been a little wary on how they graded players. I think another good question is, what makes them so credible? Who's doing the grading on the player and what are their credentials?

WHAT IS "ADJUSTED"?

I don’t know but since Diggs is rated so highly here, it likely has his interceptions figured heavily in there.

And how do they know the player's assignments per play to judge how they executed the gameplan?

Maybe they factored in how endearing his son is...
That's worth a 10, or 15 point jump.

Yep. Kazee was usually there but could not make the play

On those plays it tells me thar Diggs knew help was in place for him to make the gamble but the help failed.

I think it had something to do with trips to the men's room and how he dealt with it in an indiscriminate way on the sidelines

#HOUSECALL

Yes sir.

Facts are facts. And 11 interceptions is 11 interceptions.

 

[JayFord]

Any corner that gives up 1000 yards wouldn't be in the nfl

Some of those are blown coverages or simply assignments he's supposed to pass off

The yards given up was used to slander him because he plays for Dallas......

With that said does he get beat? Yes he has issues but it's nowhere near giving up over 1k yards

WHAT IS "ADJUSTED"?

They adjust their in season grade to align with general sentiment about players.

i.e. If they gave a player a terrible grade and he made all pro, then they adjust to make their grades look less idiotic.
