Trevon Diggs on Nico Collins

[MyFairLady]

You are not objective. If you were then you’d be leaning into facts and data, such as the fact he has the 10th best opposing passer rating in the NFL. He’s also top ten in completion percentage.

Just checked player profiler and your claims appear to be wildly inaccurate but I am pretty sure you already knew that.

 

[MyFairLady]

107.7 passer rating allowed as per player profiler. Good for #72 in NFL. But at least he is a stud in run support. LOL.

 

[Proof]

Ummmm, yeah he is.

not really. he's still more of an analytic darling

 

[Proof]

LOL, what an ignorant statement
Diggs and Deion are not in the same zipcode
Go watch some tape of Deion
He shut down half the field

i don't know why people reply like this. no one is saying diggs is deion. they're pointing out the fact that deion FAMOUSLY hated and avoided tackling. and is responsible for the "business decision" term. yes, he offset that by still being the greatest cb ever, but the point is that diggs is a really good cb and the greatest ever was much worse in the tackling dept.

According to what?

PFF has with an 87 passer rating allowed and Pro Football Reference has him with am 85 passer rating allowed. NextGen Stats has him at 66

Reading comprehension is your friend
Making excuses for an over rated and over paid prima Donna like Diggs is stupid

I like Diggs as the Cowboys’ best cover corner and probably one of the best in the league. While there are a few corners who can both cover and be physical in run defense, Diggs is not one of them. So long as he covers well on the back end of the defense breaking up passes and intercepting them, I am okay with him not being the most physical run defender.
Besides, as another poster mentioned; this is the least of the Cowboys’ problems on defense…fix the DL and shore up the run defense.

 

[Typhus]

He catches a ton of heat around here, but Diggs is one bright spot on this team--if he can stay healthy.

Nope, Diggs is a bone and you have been fooled my friend.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Why throw at Diggs when there's Josh Butler and Israel Mukuamu covering the other receivers????

i did you moron lol. reading comprehension is my friend, apparently yall haven’t met. he didn’t compare diggs and deion, which was my point. carryon spewing nonsense though

 

[JayFord]

What is with y’all and Trevon tackling?

Corners usually aren’t the best tacklers and neither is Trevon….just because he isn’t great at it doesn’t mean there’s a lack of effort

He’s a corner …..usually they just throw their body at the legs of a ball carrier

 

[WoodysGirl]

Nico is probably better than Stephon Diggs right now

Nah, he's definitely better than Stefon Diggs. Before his injury, Nico was the #1 for the Texans. Diggs #2.

Just wondering if you can help point me in the direction of where I could find these rankings. Not saying I don't believe you genuinely curious.

In fairness, you admitted you did not watch the game last night. They flashed the Top 10 in passer rating for CBs on the screen and Diggs was 10th, for example. I believe it came from ESPN Stats.

Player profiler is a fantasy team site. I wouldn't put much credibility in what they have to say.

And MyFairLady can fire up the replay of the game and see that ESPN had him 10th in opposing passer rating.

Shouldnt even have to. Wasnt there a thread about it?

I understand there is little positive going on, and Cowboys fans have a natural inclination to despise players on big contracts. But give credit where it due

True but the poster here in question routinely just ***** on our best players over and over.

He's that fan that thinks players should put their lives on the line on the field, should not fraternize with the other team, shouldn't help opposing players up off the field as it shows weakness, should go home and cry after a loss and not live their lives, etc. He's trapped in 1950s style football.

 

[BoysForLife]

DEEEEZ NUTS!

 

[Echo9]

I know he doesn't like to tackle. But neither did the supposed best CB ever Deion.

I think the 'doesn't tackle' is overblown. It goes back to one Olé (was it Kittle?) He tackled well this week and last. (not that it mattered)

 

[Echo9]

I will preface this by saying I didn't watch the game last night and even though I recorded it I do not plan to. Probably the first time in over 30 years. I just do not see the point. Having said that implying that Diggs is somehow a bright spot for this absolute turd of a season is exactly why the turd seasons will just keep on coming.
