TR: Is Trevon Diggs Really This Good, Or Just Lucky? Yes

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

I thought this was an interesting article breaking down Diggs' interceptions. I agree somewhat about the luck factor but you have to credit the player who is always looking for the ball and secures it. Not sure if this was posted already.

Diggs takes chances, that's why the QB's will not shy away from throwing it his way.

Every cornerback who gets lots of picks has at least some lucky ones, but typically it seems the better players in the league "make" their luck too.

I hope so. I don't think the interceptions can continue at the same rate but I do believe he'll get enough to make it worth the big gains he might give up gambling.

Either way, sometimes it better to be lucky than good BUT I will take both.

Totally agree. Some players just find the ball and he is one of them.

Haha… you never mince words man.

I like it.

That was a good article. I'm not entirely sure if I agree with the writer that Diggs will give up a lot of big plays due to being overly aggressive. Diggs is smart and he can adjust as well as the offense can.

I feel if we were playing against Diggs I would not want my QB to test him. The TB, Philly, Carolina interceptions show that unless a great pass and catch happen Diggs can intercept it. So if the QB or receiver make a mistake and the ball is bobbled or not accurate then Diggs can make you pay. That puts a lot of pressure on the receivers and QB.

So my answer to the question is Diggs good or lucky. I'd have to go with good because how many DBs make plays on the ball and interceptions like he does. I see a lot of dropped interceptions and near misses. With Diggs we don't see that.

That's the intriguing thing is that teams think his aggressiveness can be exploited, but it hasn't really paid off this year depending on how you view that long NE touchdown. So far you eventually pay the price if you go at him this year. Such a cool dichotomy in my opinion. One of the many reasons I love pro football.

Can you explain why? Not saying you are wrong, I just want to know why you think that.

That's what Belichick thought too.

LOL

Even with the long TD, if you blame that on Diggs, it essentially was canceled out by his pick six. I think I could live with a corner giving up TDs if he answers them with pick sixes.

I agree, I'll live with it. Diggs took the blame like a pro defending his teammate but I do think it was on Kazee.

To an extent. As far as I could tell, Diggs had no other coverage responsibility. He may have bit on the double-move, though, because he knew he had safety help.

I need to watch that replay again. My opinion is based on what I saw live, which I know isn't always accurate.

Looked to me like Diggs had underneath and even backed off because he was expecting or even saw Kazee coming.

Diggs wasn't even beat on the TD against NE. Here is a pic from the All-22 view. As you can see, Diggs is running step for step with the WR. Kazee is looking right at the ball.
I think what happened was both thought the other was going to make a play on the ball. Both could have either knock it down (more likely), or even intercepted it (less likely).

Had Kazee run more toward the WR, the receiver may even have short armed it.

It was both of them. They both could have made a play and they thought the other was going to do it. Diggs let up a little because he thought that Kazee was going to make the play.

He’s not shaky at press coverage.
