I'm seriously concerned about Diggs. He seems to be afraid to tackle. That non-attempt against Harris (I think it was) where he stopped and tried to just drag him down was embarrassing.
Did you say that about Deion Sanders because lots of corners are not that great about coming up and being physical it's not a requirement of their game he's supposed to cover well and he does he's supposed to be able to read and react and he's coming off ACL and I think he's doing that well but guys like AO on the other side that's what I'm calling him 'cause I can't pronounce his name they just were built different and gland to an extent used to come up and hit like that and all of a sudden it became about interceptions and coverage you can't always expect that but yeah Dion Sanders was worse than digs in every way when it came to tackling the man avoided it at a like period he didn't even go stick his head in there. He literally watched his teammates tackle he just stopped his route if the ball came his way and hope that somebody else would do the job for him that's a fact and if you say otherwise I hate to break it to you," business decision" will come up,,.

Maybe it's mental but I give him a pass because I'm glad to see he's back and not having any setbacks from the injury and maybe in time he'll be comfortable putting his head down but you know last time this happened and he hurt his hand he stayed in the games because we didn't have anybody on the other side you know maybe he's trying to make sure with bland out that he doesn't end up being the next guy knocked out..

And now I'm not making an excuse I'm stating facts there not a lot of corners in this league that come up and hit like AO or there's a there are some that are just more physical but others they're just primary job is to cover or at least go help in a gang tackle but making giant hits behind the line of scrimmage or coming up blowing a dude up that is not what a lot of corners are built like...

You guys aren't ever going to be happy! This post is about Carl Pickens VS J. Lew, and you all couldn't wait to slander Diggs. Let it go, and enjoy the remaining games. You do know he is playing hurt, don't you?
:hammer:right like deon sanders was known for his tackling..lol/

He did actually make the tackle on that play though didn't he? I know he's not a great tackler, but I'd also prefer my cb1 not taking 235lb rbs head on.
Exactly some of these ridiculous comments about Trayvon diggs like Dion Sanders tackle all the time not a lot of corners are great tacklers or come up and get physical we just should feel lucky that he's not going through a Michael Gallup situation off his injury he looks like he's pretty close to his old self in coverage he's able to cut and run and react and that's all we need from him right now we don't need him getting hurt.... I I don't understand the fan base I mean he could have turned into Gallup or steel or all these other players that came off injury we should be lucky that overshown and Diggs came back off their acls like it never happened..

Jourdan Lewis's PFF coverage grade was 87.2, overall defensive grade 85.5.

Meanwhile Pickens had his lowest grade of this season, so far, at 54.2.

Considering the current state of the defensive line, his contribution was monumental.

If Lewis continues to play at this level he may just earn his first Pro Bowl.

As far as Diggs goes, we need to accept the fact that his type of injury may have healed enough for him to play but the quality of that play will need more time to improve.

I can give you many examples how it took at least 18 months for some types of injuries to heal enough that the player is confident he can use his body the way he used to.

This is why you can see that Diggs becomes tentative when throwing his body into a large pile or attempting to tackle at an awkward angle.

He has a yacht, a helicopter, yet no team plane?
There are a couple of ways of looking at it. On one hand, Robert Kraft purchased two Boeing 767s for his franchise (link). He is the only NFL owner to do so.

On the other hand, a single Boeing 767 costs $217 million (link), which is $33 million cheaper than Jerry Jones' Bravo Eugenia super-yacht. At least eight NFL owners (including the discarded Daniel Snyder) own super-yachts (link).

NFL owners are breed onto themselves. A quarter of them love hyper rich recreational vessels, while only one of them gives a damn that players fly in style. Insert classic O'Jays song here, lol.

Fields was a big part of the problem. This is why the Bears moved on from him. The Steelers offense hasn’t looked that great all season with him but Russell Wilson hasn’t been ready to play. Fields will be benched as soon as Wilson is able to go. Wilson isn’t going to be the answer either for the Steelers. They’ll be looking for a young QB in the near future.
Can we interest them in a well rested Trey Lance.........

He shouldn't even have to tackle anyone. The front 7 blows.

They’re not going to be interested in him. The two QBs they have are better than him.

teach him how to tackle and we won't be doing this
He knows how to tackle just inst big enough to do it. With this information, you should no longer be shocked at his takcling attempts. It better that you move on and let it go!

No thanks, the DC we're about to face for Detroit Aaron Glenn was small too, but he made some tackles!!

I thought he was over his business decisions, but it appears he is either legitimately hurt or just doesn't care about anything but a paycheque
