    Diggs' Drama

    in The Stadium Wall

    I said this earlier in the offseason - any generic football cliche sounds like it's a slight against Diggs. "Unselfish players." "Team leader." "Wins matter more than individual stats." These are generic soundbites that every team spouts off during their mandatory media time. It speaks to Diggs' negative character that all of these clichés sound like criticisms of him. But I agree none of it is intentional.

    I agree with this entirely. Pundits , and fans might expect Josh to throw a little shade. Diggs leveraged himself out of the building and didn’t think twice about saddling the team with a $30M dead cap hit. He deserves to be under the bus.

    He's really emerging as a legit threat on this offense.  He keeps getting better w/ each game, which is what you want w/ rookies.

     

    All of a sudden, our WR room looks really solid - Cooper, Shakir & Coleman are a really good top 3.

     

    As I mentioned in another thread, Shakir has 27 receptions on 28 targets.

    I don’t think Tennessee is that dumb.

     

    ….shoot, they MIGHT be that dumb. Offer a 6th we got from getting Cooper and tell him to not get on the bus 😂

    It wouldn't be dumb at all, IMO. The Titans are now 1-5. Their season is all but over. If they can get draft value for a 32yo receiver, that would be smart.

    Signing an extension for Tua with those type of guarantees was dumb based upon previous injury history and dumbest other than Browns' contract.  Tue could have gotten an insurance contract paying for lost wages as other players have done but premium would have been high. 

     

    Phish rolled the dice and got snake eyes.

     

     

    And all while taking a step back on an already lousy O-line.

    There’s a contractual agreement between two parties.  Both understood the contract and agreed to it.  Tua had all the medical information he wanted from team and/or personal doctors.  How is a third party not getting involved “siding” with either?

    My only point is that if the NFL were to pressure the Dolphins into releasing Tua for health reasons (which is not an unreasonable stance) then that works to Tua's advantage. Tua's next concussion could be very serious, and a very bad look for the NFL-- a PR nightmare. But, the NFL also wants to maintain parity, and releasing Tua puts the Dolphins on the hook for a lot of coin.

    Is the NFL declining?

    Roughing the passer is the new “was that a catch?” The one Rodgers admits was nonsense infuriated me. In what world was that roughing?  😡 

     

     

    .

    It was unfortunate, but I'm not mad at it. From the initial angle they showed on TV, which I believe was the same side the official was on, it did look like he landed on Rodgers with his full weight, which is a flag. Other angles showed that it was a clean sack. It was sticky tacky, sure, but not a egregious call, IMO.

    I've been under the assumption that there have been injury settlement negotiations going on behind the scenes. It feels like Tua and the Fish are playing a game of chicken. If Tua's is not allowed to play because of his injury, he gets paid. If he quits because of his injury, he doesn't. So far, neither side is flinching, and the NFL has declined to get involved (which is tantamount to siding with the Dolphins).

     

    And still, Grier, and the Dolphins have done nothing to shore up their porous O-line, and give Tua some modicum of protection. Instead, they will continue with their get-the-ball-out-of-your-hands-as-fast-as-humaly-possible offensive scheme. Maybe they're hoping that opposing defenses will be easy on him, rather than take the risk of killing someone on the field?

    A lot of disagreement on the decision to rush two on the Hail Mary play. My two cents:

     

    The Jets actually have a decent O-line, in which they invested heavily in the off-season. Had the Bills rushed four, it's more likely than not that Rodgers still has the time to make the throw, and then there are two less defenders downfield. Rushing two was the right decision, IMO.

     

    Where the play failed was similar to the Hail Murray pass a few years ago. In that play, it was Hopkins vs. Hyde, Poyer, and White-- arguably the three best players on D at the time. They didn't come down with it, because each of them was going for the interception, rather than batting it to the ground. When Rodgers threw that HM last night, it was into a sea of blue, and everyone was going for the ball, rather than knocking it away. You can blame coaching for that if you want-- every defender in that end zone should have been playing D, not WR. Maybe they need a volleyball day at practice?

    Well this is JUICY.  Granted MLFootball is usually full of it, the fact Warren Sharp commented along the same lines could also make it somewhat plausible.

     

     

    Saleh should've known better. You can't kick Rodgers' lapdog and get away with it!

    I don't see the presence, or absence of Robert Saleh on the Jets' sideline as having much of an effect on the Jets' performance on game day. Maybe his absence will be less distracting to Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers clearly had zero respect for his authority, or leadership, and Nate Hackett has been answering to Rodgers over Saleh.

     

    The Jets have a culture problem.
