Buddo Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The title says it, but I want to make some extra observations. The man made plenty of plays, but it was some of the additional things I noticed. The pass that Allen missed to Knox, had Diggs pointing to Knox, to show Josh that Knox was open. Whenever he was open, if it wasn’t a designed play to him, he was signalling. He made some tough catches, where he took hits, but also made some balls that weren’t thrown perfectly, look like they were, especially the first down he caught ‘on the slide’. The trade, to me, looks, well worth it. The man is a baller. 29 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 No question at all. Knew this was the right call immediately when I heard about the trade. Awesome pick-up!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 He also had an excellent block on Brown's TD. I don't know how he got a reputation as selfish in Minnesota, he is a team player. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Showed a lot of toughness - took some big shots and easily could have come off the field but didn't. I was surprised to see he had better stats than Brown who seemed to be all over the field - was a "quietly" extremely productive day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 He is one of the best 3 or 4 route runners in the league and he makes contested catches. He is an absolute stud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously go watch the 2018 Vikings tape when he and Thielen are both out there. So much of the coverage is shaded towards Diggs rather than Thielen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be confused by the score or stats. Minnesota didn't start moving the ball until GB went into a defensive shell and started playing prevent in the 4th quarter.

RocCityRoller Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 As author of the John Brown appreciation thread I love how he noted that John Brown was one of the most compete but underappreciated WRs in the league. Was racking my brain for comparisons, and all I had to do was go back to Carolina. JB and SD remind me a little of Steve Smith. Smith was smaller then JB or SD, but in general JB and SD are smaller framed WRs who are fast, good route runners and natural hands catchers of the ball. What is better than 1 Steve Smith? 2 Steve Smiths. Now Smith had a mouth on him, but he backed it up. JB and SD are more quiet and just get work done. Defending Diggs and Brown is a nasty thing to contemplate, can't double both. Add Beasley in the slot. Knox had a beautiful catch today and Moss showed nice hands and awareness, especially for a rookie on his TD catch. If the Oline can play better, and help get the non Allen rush game going, this could a lot of fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of his competitiveness nature and what makes him great. I love the guy and the trade, but I feel he may have an outburst or two in the future. And more than likely, it’ll be ok.

Victory Formation Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think Diggs will have a good year but I think Smoke is going to have an amazing year.. Diggs obviously will face double teams consistently but Smoke is going to see some damn good matchups.. think Smoke is going to have by far his best year as a pro.. The acquisition of Diggs is ultimately to the benefit of John Brown and Cole Beasley.. really opens up things for those two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t think he’s the Deion sanders type when people said he was a diva. Word out of the Vikings locker room wasn’t that he was pushing others out of the spotlight. He’s gritty. And a hard worker. Definitely not soft. But he also got a lot of comments about being a little unusual and wasn’t shy about opinions. as long as we are winning, and he’s racking up stars (and cash) I don’t suspect we will have much trouble out of him.
