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

[CATCH17]

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.

It was definitely on Kazee.

 

[CATCH17]

Of course this can’t continue but it’s not “luck”.

Diggs is jumping routes and he is jumping them because he understands offensive passing concepts.

 

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

Lots of people reading the headline without the article, which I thought was good and complimentary.

It definitely looks like a lot of people are not reading the whole article. It's not saying he is just lucky. It doesn't get in to how good Diggs is until further down. The title can be misinterpreted too.

 

[Risen Star]

When they stated comparing him to Deion Sanders it got ridiculous.

 

[exciter]

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.

Kazee lost trac of the WR and underestimated his speed. But yeah, your pretty much spot on!

I still disagree. None of his picks have at thing to do with luck. To me luck is if a qb completely sails the ball straight to you or a ball tips so high in the air that it's basically a gimme. Diggs is consistently putting himself in position to make a play on the ball and has the hands to make the play. A receiver juggling a ball or a ball being slightly behind a receiver isn't luck. It happens all the time.

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.

All players get lucky sometimes
Dak completes a ball that bounces off a defenders hands is luck
But luck only accounts for a few plays a year
If it was just luck then odds are others would get lucky just as often
It’s like guys who insist on calling heads or tails on a coin flip
It doesn’t matter what you call, the odds are the same and what you called has no effect on the out come
Some players aren’t luckier than others but some players are in the right position to take advantage of others mistakes
The int Diggs got near the end of the game wasn’t luck. It was being in the right position to make the tackle if it’s caught or pick it off if it’s not

It's not luck, he just takes advantage of his opportunities

 

[Clove]

Did they talk about the other 5 he could've intercepted? It's your prerogative if you especially want to throw it deep on Diggs. Jones was VERY lucky that Kazee got in the way.

 

[Bullflop]

In view of the fact that Diggs got 7 interceptions in 6 weeks, it really seems likely that there's a pattern being established.

 

[Jfconrow]

He’s so good he made Parsons seam invisible. I want to see Tank at De and Parsons at mlb next game, with Greggory and OSA.

Care to expound? Lot of good responses to this thread. Opinions with words are great.

 

[Rockport]

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

You guys don’t get it. Teams are having to pass on the Cowboys because they are always behind. Quinns playing a bend but don’t break type defense when in the lead. Of course teams are going to be throwing all the time.

Dumb article

5 miles over your head, and I'm really trying to be generous to you.

I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself:
Xavien Howard had 10 interceptions last year. How many does he have this year, and why the difference?

What? Did you quote the right poster? Because I was trying to say that QB's going away from Diggs might not happen anytime soon. I said nothing about our defense or how often another team passes.

If you intended to quote me then you read my post and... you didn't get it? You really think that a diehard fan like myself doesn't know that teams pass more when they are down? They got eight graders in this world that know that. Anybody that's on this website on a daily basis like you and I know football basics. So look at the amount of post someone has before you start trying to educate them about basic football concepts. Thanks in advance.

There might be some minute element of luck, but mostly it's his skill. Why didn't we have corners with this kind of luck the past decade or why does no other corner on the team right now have this sort of 'luck'? Because it's skill.

 

[Red Dragon]

I am going to be mad if Diggs falls barely short of the 14-Int record this season.

 

[Red Dragon]

If he’s “ lucky “ let’s have 11 of him on defense

We'd be utterly destroyed at the line of scrimmage but it would still be curious to watch....
