Why I like Diggs getting beat deep today

[DOUBLE WING]

Diggs is not yet, and maybe never will be, a "shutdown" corner. What he excels at is making plays on the ball. He's the anti-Byron Jones.

 

[TheHerd]

I'd like to hear what he says about it. It was obvious he was playing the underthrow because he knew he had deep help. Let's see if he takes the full responsibility

 

[Proof]

He should have picked it too

yeah, that was actually my biggest takeaway, he was there and it was a pickable ball

 

[loublue22]

he had deep safety help, he got beat by a step but he let off and didn't even try to contest the pass because he thought the safety should pick it off

That's what I saw too.

What was the safety doing? No way that should've been a touchdown.

 

[UncleOscar]

Who was the safety who whiffed? Hooker?

 

[Lodeus]

Why did he let up? They kept talking about the double move but it looked like Diggs just stopped running...

 

[ZekeTrain]

He bit on the first move and got beat but he did not give up the TD .. the safety did. That should have been a pick, a knockdown or a tackle at the spot. Not a 70 yard TD.

The ONLY reason you can like it, is we won the game

 

[baltcowboy]

He’s the defensive m v p. He’s going to get better of course but that play makes him even more coachable. What happens if he keeps getting ints and slowly starts to give up less and less yards? You have a top 3 corner ever.

Give Matt Jones some credit. That took balls and it was a perfect throw. 1 touchdown to 7 interceptions and 2 pick six’s. I will take it.

 

[Proof]

Pick Six!!!!

Good points but he's trending there. Remember Deion was often SMOKED in his first couple of years. It took him 2-3 years to solidify the "shutdown" label in ATL. Not saying Diggs has the same trajectory but let the kid develop. He's only getting better.

 

[NorthoftheRedRiver]

The safety whiffed.

Yes. He should have had help from a safety there.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Love the casuals that dont know football. It was clearly the safety's responsibility and had the zone there

 

[unionjack8]

He was let down by his safety, any good free safety intercepts that pass EASILY....

I hope this ends this dumb thread

This is so true.

I'm ordering a #7 jersey... And for clarity, I've never owned a jersey in my life, and I'm 51 and lived through the 70s super bowls when Drew Pearson was my idol, was in my 20s in the 90s when we won 3 titles and Irvin and Aikman were my guys, in the 2000s when prime time was my guy, but this Diggs guy, I'm getting it.

 

[Gaede]

That TD was on the safety. Diggs got beat for a first down, but the safety should've been there for the tackle
