Mango Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just now, DrDawkinstein said: oh my god you guys are being so overly dramatic. I love ya, but take a breath. Obviously there isn't a real grenade. Diggs isn't going to blow up the facility or his actual teammates. It is a fairly common metaphor. I am not an NFL coach, but I have coached and won a handful of National Champions, I also lived at the Olympic Training Center for a number of years. I am good friends with dozens of Olympic medalists. This just isn't behavior from somebody who can be a healthy party of a championship roster long term. Spin it out you want, but successful rosters generally don't include people who behave like Diggs for very long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Apparently Diggs reported for medical clearance checking at the facility yesterday and is in WNY but did not report for minicamp today? Very strange and hopefully something nefarious hasn't happened... Edited June 13, 2023 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Calm down everyone. It's all part of this years script, I saw the early draft. Diggs will be there opening day with 9 catches for 140yds and 2 tds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerdMentality Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 48 minutes ago, jletha said: I cant possibly understand what in the world Diggs could be protesting. He signed a new deal last year, hes on a top 3 offense with a top 3 QB. Whats the angle here? He wants to be traded...to where? He wants more money...based on what? Cut bait and sign Hopkins if this gets any uglier. 4 catches for 35 yards v. The Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCNC Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 This is bad from every angle. McD saying he is very concerned means he knows there is not a "good" reason Diggs is not there. Bad optics. So much for togetherness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 24 minutes ago, Mango said: Right, that is what I am saying. Haha I included that portion because in the mini-camp thread somebody replied to me that Diggs had to sign off on a restructure. I didn't want to re-hash it over here. My point about reaching out to Diggs was that we knew we would be totally handcuffed to him with a restructure. And we know the way he behaved to end the season and his series of super weird and cryptic tweets. It would be professional due diligence in this scenario to try and get a reality check. All I take from him not showing up today (even if he shows up tomorrow), his offseason oddities, and the way he ended last season is that Diggs is willing to blow this season up if he becomes unhappy. The weird part is he reported for medical clearance at the team facility yesterday but not to minicamp today, so he is in WNY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If he has an issue, fine. But how hard is it to communicate. That’s the crap that bugs me. But after getting that payday last year, I have zero sympathy for him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more time available for the younger guys to show what they’ve got, the better. Let’s see what it looks like now, and hope it helps get us ready for the season. That’s the best “glass half full” I can offer. I don’t love the absence, but I won’t freak out either. It is a bit odd that we are just guessing what he’s so upset about. I can imagine several options, but it’s pretty fuzzy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but his look didn't say to me, "darn, now I have to call defensive plays AND coach the team." He looks like a man who just found out that his cheating wife is now gonna take the house. Or, to paraphrase Bill Burr, like Mel Gibson's voice going up a couple octaves when he found out his ex-wife was getting his LAKER TICKETS!!!! This isn't a normal daily grind of coaching and being a DC stress look. To me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
