Billl Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 12 minutes ago, JESSEFEFFER said: Wherever I read it recently I don't recall, but, Diggs is the only player with 1300+ yds from scrimmage not to have lost a fumble. When he gives up on a play there are multiple defenders involved, he has gotten the key yardage to be gained and by doing so he protects both himself and the ball. I am totally ok with it. He is not pulling a Kyle Orton. Once a WR has a first down, gaining a few extra yards between the 20s is next to useless, and fighting for them is a losing proposition. Yards are cheap in the NFL. Possession is expensive. When WRs fumble, the defense recovers more often than not, so there’s really no reason for them to fight for a yard or two while risking taking a hit and possibly fumbling. Get to the ground or out of bounds, and live to fight another day. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocal69 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Arizona Media probably is spoiled with watching Larry Fitzgerald all those years put up great numbers and never miss a practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Everybody wonders why Diggs didn’t work out in Minnesota and maybe we will never really know but all I know is he has been a total professional here and just wants to win maybe the QB for Minnesota just wasn’t that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a crap if he gets Wednesdays off to stay fresh. If anything it seems like a strategy that’s working extremely well. D Hop is an amazing talent. Watch the film. Really a super talent.

If this team were .500 we would be railroading him out of town for that stuff. I like when him and Beazer hit the dirt and slide or just step out of bounds. Its smart to live and fight another day its not like this offence has to fight and scratch for every yard. You need to stay healthy you get dinged up enough over 17 games How many times are they 2nd or 3rd and forever and get a first down?

I really don’t see the point in arguing about who number one is. I’m happy we’ve got one of them and that he fits so well here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs definitely isn’t the best WR in the NFL but Diggs is perfect for Allen and Buffalo. That’s what I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins will be a shoe-in hall of famer and Diggs has taken his first big step toward the same if he sticks with Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearNorth Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Diggs has impressed me as a very aware player. If he sees an opportunity, he exploits it. If he sees nothing good is ahead, he protects the ball, and helps his team. What's wrong with that? His skills make everyone else better, e.g. TD passes to 13 different players, including our starting QB.

Victory Formation Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Shoot.. when I was 23-25 I’d spend an hour and a half to two hours in the gym 4-5 days a week.. Here I am at 33 and now I’ll spend 3-4 days a week in the gym for about 45 minutes to an hour.. Once you reach about 30 years old you start to slow down.. Granted I’m not a pro athlete but I think there is a natural biological effect once you start to get a bit older.. At that point you need to learn how to work out smarter and not harder..

He is not pulling a Kyle Orton. Yeah, I'm Ok with it too. Remember one of our TEs fighting for yards when surrounded and he literally got picked up in the air by four or five Steelers so he couldn't end the play by going down? And they just held him up and had their way with him till he fumbled? Happened five or ten years ago and I still remember it painfully. Plenty of times going down is smart. It's not as if he's not excellent at YAC. He is. He's great at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 So the coaches give out off days to keep well playing vets healthy... but the media knows better. Suuuuuureeeee. Plus they don't know what he does with that time. He could be doing ice bathes and or watching film for all they know. Clowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Yeah, nobody should care about that. But Hopkins is clearly bothered by it even though he says repeatedly that he doesn't listen to it and ignores the hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then leads the league in receiving? WTF is going on with AZ sports media? Seems like a giant nothing burger. Maybe it will get some legs. But right now this seems much ado about nothing. Something to think about, Diggs slides more than any WR I have seen in my life. If this team were .500 we would be railroading him out of town for that stuff. I actually like that he slides, he usually slides when he has 2 or 3 guys looking to lay a big hit on him and nothing to gain. With the rules the way they are in the NFL giving the advantage to offense, I would rather have him healthy for the long haul. I have really only see him slide like 5 or 6 times this years and they all seemed like the smart move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are trying to become a pro athlete I would recommend more reps and light weigh. Less joint pain when you get older 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
