Diggs doesn't move on running plays

[Old Coot]

What does Diggs do when its an RPO? That type of play could be a run or a pass depending on what the conflict defender does so Diggs doesn't know whether it's a run or a pass play.

I hate starting topics, and I'm not sure if this was already discussed if so feel free to remove this if it has. I was watching Diggs during the game and if we are running the ball he never moves. Now he had a great game, but if I am a D coordinator I would let my guys know not to bite on the play fake if he's running because it's going to be a pass. I'd have the corner that's covering him to be yelling pass the second he starts running.

I'm not trying to stir up anything and this could very well be a non-issue. I was just pointing out what I saw.

Noticed the same thing

The biggest tell on this offense is that when Josh Allen is lined up under center, he 100% of the time drops one foot back presnap if it’s going to be a QB Sneak.  And if he’s not sneaking it, 100% of the time his feet are side by side presnap.  This has been true since he entered the league, I check every game for this, he still does this every time.

Never noticed that.

Although I think he could call the snap count as Sneak! Sneak! Sneak! while he's jumping up and down pointing at the 1 gap and still pick it up every time.

It's not a great look, but it's pretty well known that players find plays to "take off" to recover some stamina. 

 

Especially players like Diggs who are involved in so many plays, even if only as a decoy, you have to pick spots to go half speed or just take yourself out of the game. I'm not saying I like it or don't like it, but going full speed every play will tire you out quick, especially for receivers who have to stretch the field & have a long jog back to the LoS.

Yelling "pass" doesn't work in JV football let alone the NFL.

I'm sure if we've all noticed it, the coaches have definitely seen it on film. If they haven't changed or corrected it, then I assume it's no big deal or even by design.

Yes, anthropologists believe that this behavior is pre-columbian... back to when football was played in loin cloths.

It’s too loud by the time the play starts with all the clanging and banging there’s no way anybody would hear it.

Clanging and banging? Football players are attired in plastic shells, not suits of armor.

By the way, he got this move from Brady.  Here is an interview of him talking about it and the form with Mark Sanchez on why and the mechanics of it.

He gets pushed by the DB when he was walking and not paying attention.

I just want to give this guy @ckparrot some love.  Go check out his twitter feed.

 

He seems to be kind of an Erik Turner equivalent covering the Dolphins.  He has a bunch of good play breakdowns from the Dolphins perspective.

In the first clip wtf is Kincaid doing? He whiffs on his chip and then submarines his own teammate.  He put a helmet right on Damien Harris' groin like he was trying to pop out a ball or two.  That must have gotten some laughs in the film room.

looks very much like Van Ginkel decides to break off his pass rush to run a drag route and Kincaid is just a half step late in coverage and gets caught by a very savvy rub from Harris

Yeah, Diggs is super lazy about blocking or carrying out fakes.

The clip is from 2020, back before he started dating movie stars and collecting whiskies.

[Billsfan1972]

95% of the time I can tell it will be a run play called and yes Diggs is one of many reasons I'm tipped off.  

 

The first two plays vs. the Raiders they went to the line and basically said to the Raiders "We're running the ball, because Josh was a bad boy vs. the Jets😉"
