Right now, they are trying to get anything out of him IMO. He looked had a tackle and looked bad at guard.
I was optimistic that maybe they ‘stole one’ because of Ball’s past issues.
He actually did get a little better as the preseason progressed, but he did not look good when he was put out there in the regular season. We've got to remember, though, that last year was really his rookie season since he was on IR his first year.
Some are just bitter about losing to San Fran. They draw conclusions about a player based on one play instead of a body of work.
Whiffed implies that he actually tried to make the tackle. He didn't try. He actively got out of the way.
On a few of them....I can count on one hand how many times he did it lol.
Yeah people need to let that game go. It doesn't define this team and this team moved on.
I disagree with this interpretation. Kittle was juggling the ball and Diggs put his shoulder down to make a hit on the ball/Kittle where he thought it would be. Kittle made the catch and adjusted back toward the sideline, which left Diggs hitting air. I don't understand why this play gets called a business decision or him not trying. He was trying to put a shoulder on the ball, but miscalculated where the ball and Kittle were going to be.
Oops, Martin needs to come back soon, Jerry work it out
Yeah, the interpretation that he just didn't try has been preached so much that I think most fans believe it. The video evidence doesn't support it. It may support that it was a poor attempt and instead of throwing a shoulder, he should have pulled up and made a sure tackle. But I have a hard time complaining about corners' tackling form; a lot just like to deliver a hit instead of wrapping up. I believe that the video shows Diggs was trying to deliver a hit, particular on the ball that Kittle was juggling. Kittle just made the play and made him look bad.
