Twitter: What to make of a corner with 11 INTs and most yards allowed?

[Risen Star]

This is not a shot at Diggs as it doesn't even seem right to me that he's given up the most yardage. I don't know how you can accomplish that without it being painfully obvious on the field. He doesn't seem to me like a completion waiting to happen. Not at all.

But it's unacceptable to give up the most yards.

11 interceptions is also undeniable. That is special.

It's the oddest year I've seen from a Cowboy and I honestly don't know how to feel about it.

 

[Carson]

I’m ok with it. Takeaways win games. We could have another Byron Jones who gives up the occasional play, but the 0 picks.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

If he didn't have 11 INTS he'd be the worst CB in the NFL, but because he has 11 INTs he's a Pro Bowler.

There is no in between.

It's very strange.

Throwing at Diggs is like going to the Casino. You might win or you might lose all your money.

 

[links18]

Can't get that many picks unless they are throwing your way, a lot?

 

[jazzcat22]

I don't think all those yards are on him. Just because he ran over to where the play ended, does not make it his man to cover.

Well it all comes down to the that PFF stat a receiver he had in coverage, I am sure they gave him the play in NE where the Safety blew the coverage. Also being left on a island a lot you tend to give up chunk plays if you dont have the PBU or INT. To put into perspective 899 yards going into game 15 is only about 60 yards a game.

Have a beer

Take the bad with the good and hope that the bad doesn’t get you beat.

When I watch the games what I see is a player who is a HUGE part of the best defense in football.

The big play last night and the big play against the Patriots were completely on bad safety play.

This is a joke of a take

 

[tyke1doe]

Question 1: Have those yards contributed to any losses?
Question 2: Have the interceptions contributed to any wins?

News flash: corners get beat!
News flash: if you're not getting help and are isolated on a receiver and the quarterback throws a perfect ball, you're going to get beat.

Now, how many corners who get beat also have 11 interceptions?

Diggs is fine. I mean, we were complaining about Byron Jones two years ago - perfect coverage but no turnovers.

News flash: they aren't making many Deion Sanders. Once every 100 years, maybe.
Diggs is the next best thing.

 

[Mobinvans]

We would not be where we are without Digs, that’s for sure

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

This is a joke of a take

You take away 11 INTs and your left with a guy that has given up the most receiving yards this season.

That wouldn't be considered the worst CB in the league this year?

I think you just like to argue.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I'm honestly dubious about the most yards against stat.

 

[JBS]

I have so much I want to say in this thread - I’m not mentally prepared for this. You really have to put Diggs season in context to understand. And this is going to take some work. I’ll post my thoughts here shortly

I don’t. But I will when you say things that I don’t agree with. And I disagree strongly w this take and I’ll post my thoughts on why in a bit

 

[speedkilz88]

He hasn't been giving up much this second half of the season.

 

[lukin2006]

It’d be easier to access him if we had breakdowns…like has he given less yards/big plays as the season has gone along. He’s still in year 2.

 

[IslandCowboy]

Honestly I think it's good, when they said he had given up the most yards I was honestly surprised which probably means it wasn't in big moments and/or it didn't lose us a game, but the INTs are definitely game changing/winning.
