    Diggs' Drama

    in The Stadium Wall

    Last season, Diggs started off the season in Buffalo hot, with more than 100 receiving yards in five of his first six games. But he didn’t go over 100 yards—and he notched only two scores—for the rest of the season. If it didn’t look like Diggs was having fun that’s because, well, he wasn’t.

     

    “Last year, I was in the worst mental space I’ve been in since I’ve been in the league,” Diggs says. “If I'm not in a good space, obviously that's not the best for me. So that's when things had to start shaking out.”

     

    In April, Diggs wasn’t surprised to learn that he’d been traded. “We had some talks with Buffalo,” he says. “We knew where things were going—I did, at least.

     

    The outside world had so much speculation. I knew, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year to the offseason, exactly what was going on. Not too much confusion on my end.”

    All things considered, he's still being cryptic as hell even as he continues to talk. I have no idea what this means. He wanted out, but why?

    Did you know who any of the guys were on the KGun before they were the KGun?

    Yes i was a bills fan at that time, i was very much aware of that.  So basically you think this team is crap and has no shot?

    If you were a Bills fan at the time, then how can you seriously ask this question? There were no anonymous faces on the Bills O prior to the K-Gun.

    Keon Coleman Plays

    Everything I’ve read about Coleman is that he’s good in zone coverage but needs help with route running to consistent beat m2m.  Still should be a red zone target even some are down on him after the drop

    I agree, I think some of these photos generally illustrate what zone coverage looks like, rather than a clear indication Coleman is winning routes. That doesn't mean completions aren't there but windows close quickly and static photos don't provide much evidence of how the play would progress if he were targeted.

    Calling it now: You're all about to witness the arrival of Shakir

    Here you go @Alphadawg7. Today's Locked on Bills episode was entirely about Shakir.

     

     

    He notes that out of every WR who ever measured 29" or shorter arms, the only ones to have meaningful careers were Hunter Renfrow, Isaiah McKenzie, and Braxton Berrios. Shakir would be the first to ever make it as even a 50% outside WR with that arm length.

    The short arms are concerning, but his 'catch radius' is 48th percentile amongst WRs who tested (versus Hunter Renfrow's 25th percentile, for example). 

     

    I'm not saying this is the be all, end all but I thought it worth mentioning. He maybe an outlier due to his athleticism: 

     

    Catch Radius – first discussed by Scott Smith in a piece titled “The Catch Radius Project: In Search of Better TD Production”, the metric incorporates a player’s ability to cover ground as well as his ability to get vertical in order to score a player’s capacity to reaching the football in a 3-dimensional space. Catch Radius affects a player’s ability to succeed in the red zone, particularly on fade routes and 50-50 balls. The equation squares a player’s 40-time, 20-yard shuttle, and 3-cone and multiplies it by the square of a player’s height, arm length, and vertical jump. The values of all six data inputs are normalized to have equal weight.

    Diggs traded to Texans for picks

    This doesn't mean there weren't issues between them but I scrolled through Josh Allen's likes on Twitter and saw this from the Week 18 win in Miami. Whatever happened in the lockerroom after Week 1 probably wasn't notable to reporters at the time because by many accounts, they still seemed to be on the same page. Blowup happen even amongst friends and family.

     

    Obviously, each individual moment doesn't tell the whole story, but I thought it was interesting to reflect on it nevertheless:

    Not saying I’m going to run a victory lap after this win, but there are a few of you that I’m calling out for saying I was dumb for picking the Niners to win it all along lol

    It's true, it's already over. Mahomes famously never overcomes defecits.
