Maybe But I'm pretty sure I could comb thru a Chiefs or Lions game and find a similarly poorly spaced play design here or there My position on the offense remains they're doing the best they can wrt personnel Just a guess

what do you mean

That's got to be on Knox

Bummer for the kid, he is fun to watch

Can't get over the fact that the Chiefs were able to beat them only scoring 17 tbh Doesn't make sense

im not down on diggs at all

of course you'd just like to think in a competition between Stefon Diggs and Darious Williams you could predict the winner w some regularity

would have been better it it was a catch

Eisen's take on the game

Diggs had less momentum going away from the ball than the DB the defender winning a header is usually similarly advantaged unless you are going up against a freak like Lukaku or Haaland or Drogba the defender is always in a better spot because he has less momentum going away from the ball at the catch moving away from the direction of the pass is the disadvantage

i was going to use a soccer analogy- on long goal kicks the defender usually has leverage being the deeper guy, in this situation diggs would be in the defender's position

Completely different catch

Which one was that?

Yes that's my point AJ Brown would have just ripped the ball off the defenders head, Jefferson would have knifed it from between his hands, Hill would have backflipped over the DB and caught it between his legs or something Diggs is a very explosive in short areas/surgical precise footwork/sticky hands kind of guy but he's not going to just beast out and physically dominate the contested catch situation, and tbh I don't expect him to because that's not really his game

I'm saying there are guys who have the strength to make that catch at a certain frequency and imo Diggs isnt one of them, his strengths lie elsewhere

I remember the Rams game couple yrs back they gave the INT where receiver (think it was Knox but not sure) and DB both came down w the ball too And yes for all intents and purposes that was a punt

Jefferson did the same thing but in reverse to Cam Lewis last year, it's not just luck

Catching downfield requires a lot of concentration in addition to great body control The wr who has tracked the ball and gathers himself to go up is almost always in a better position to make a play than the DB who has been sprinting w head turned and his momentum going away...which works against catching a pass It's easier to catch a pass downfield the slower you as a receiver are moving, your momentum away from the ball works against you

If you've ever played wr you would know this is wrong

I don't know if Diggs does tbh because he's not a big contested catch guy But AJ Brown, Hill, Adams etc are coming down w that ball a decent amount of the time and if not they're certainly not letting it go for an INT edit for photo

The Chiefs beat them scoring 17 lol

When he throws takes the short easy completions it's sleepwalking When he goes for the deep stuff it's hero ball lol

Didn't he also leave one on some train tracks in Miami lol

Do you think it was a bad scheme/matchup or were our guys just a half step off their game? Haven't looked at the all22 but on broadcast it just seemed we were losing in a bunch of places where we normally wouldn't
