Stefon, Diggs joined the Buffalo Bills, three years ago
after he became unhappy with the Minnesota Vikings. Tweeted
his way out of town. He's always been a guy who
under the wrong circumstances, just see that competitive Fire
Flash into something that can be counterproductive. When we
say that,
With the full acknowledgement that we love Stefon Diggs.
He is a great engaging. Funny loose, we love seeing him at
the Super Bowl but you get them on those days where things
aren't going well and the balls not coming his way,
things line up for him to be
a little pissy Chris, and he was getting that way yesterday.
And we mentioned that because after the game, Joe
liske a Glee of the athletic reported that digs, was he
cleared out of the locker room? He was gone before all of The
coaches had even gotten down the tunnel.
So look there he is gesturing to Josh Allen because the ball
was thrown too low that was in the second quarter and then
later in the game
basically game on the line here
fourth and six Josh, Allen's got time,
throws the ball to game. Davis doesn't have a chance. There's
Stefon Diggs, he wasn't happy because you watch him break to
the inside. He's open there, he's got the opening, but
the throw wasn't made and then over on the sidelines to Fawn
digs
again gesturing. Josh Allen letting him hear it showing his
displeasure. That's what we see from Stefon Diggs from time to
time Chris. And it just makes me want to look every time,
there's a
receiver who is disgruntled
with his current team
and he tweets her talks or otherwise gets his way out of
town. Like Antonio Brown didn't want to compare to Van Dyck,
San Antonio Brown because the
the only comparison is
you leave a team because you're unhappy,
The new team that gets you has to,
at least factor in the possibility. That if we don't
keep this guy happy, he's gonna want to leave here too. Yeah,
listen is. It's part of the NFL. This is this is a dynamic
that's a very real issue.
Receivers are the most gifted athletes in the game.
They think they can overcome anything.
They're always open even when they're not. I mean, gosh, if
I had a dime for every time of receiver came back to me and
when, man, you missed me like twice on that series and we
watch the film next day and I'm sitting next. To the guy and
going, that was the play, you're telling me you're open,
like were you trying to ruin my career or lose the game for us?
You know? So emotions. Run High. He's an awesome football
player. He's got belief in themselves that you get
the ball in my hand. I can make
something happen and change his game.
So it's in a lot of ways. It's par for the course, you know,
he flirts with sometimes. Maybe be in a hair of a distraction
certainly but I don't think he crosses the line. They're
not even yesterday. That's okay.
I didn't think that was crazy.
Yesterday he was frustrated, he definitely was. And then you
add that frustration to go, he's going. Damn, I want to be,
you know, Jamar Chase is over there, you know, balling out
and putting stats up on the board
so that adds to the fuel the fire.
And again, this is another one where,
hey, it teams look at Stefon. Diggs. They go. Wait, we take
away digs we there's not a whole lot to worry about here
and they need to do a better job of getting the ball him to
him too like we see with the Eagles of the 49ers
where some reverse Uses some screens to the receiver, get
them going that way. So I understand his frustrations but
men
they were outmatched yesterday and that play there.
You know, again, I'd like to show that one more time.
It's hard in that moment. Where Josh, Allen's looking back, if
we can look at that, he's not really. He looks there at
first. He doesn't like it and then it becomes backyard
football and it's hard to kind of
look at everything as you kind of go through it there.
And again, I don't know. I'd like to see that full picture.
It's hard to say See as far as if something was, can we? Yeah.
I mean I don't know if anybody is inside there to help, right?
And again that looks open but there might be a safety just
waiting there, right? Outside the screen to. I need to see
a better look. But this is you know, something we see a lot
from Top End receivers.
Two quick things to your point from earlier. Boy, the Bengals
were put in that heat on Josh Allen without three-man Rush.
That's right,
that's right. I mean what how many times did we looked at
yesterday? Go when he's under pressure and I'm going there's
three guys and he can't even like go through the Reeds so
that was disappointing and that leads to the ball. Not going to
the right guy
or guys getting frustrated too.
Here's the other point to and this is a longer conversation.
But anytime you see those kinds of gestures from a receiver
toward a quarterback out in the open with cameras on capturing
it, some quarterbacks
will take that player aside and tell him what's what?
And tell him. Basically, if you pull that crap again, you'll
never see the football. Yeah, you pull that crap again
you won't have to worry about asking to be traded.
I'll make sure they get rid of you.
I'm not dealing with that.
Crap, I'm the leader of the team.
Not you. I'm the quarterback. You're just the guy who gets
the ball when I decide to throw it to you. So, don't put that
on me. I got a hard enough job
without worrying about you. So we got to take a break or return
some coaching updates, including
a guy officially become a candidate for a job that we
talked about last week. Could it happen in Arizona for Brian
Flores will discuss that next year on pf2? I
