Kwai San Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Well why not? More yards and more TD's - it's all good man!
Blainorama5 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 The more the merrier! Diggs wants 10+ TDs this year for sure. 2

Mark Vader Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I'm sure he would, and we all want to see that. However, Diggs is not a burner. He's a great route runner and he can find a way to get open, I just don't envision him scoring a bunch of 70 yard touchdown passes. 1 3 1
1ManRaid Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Incoming articles from still salty Viking "writers" about how this further proves Diggs is a diva and ball hog and how they "won the trade". 1 6

He ran a 4.45 coming out of college and the way he works and training he’s since been provided, I’d imagine he’s faster. He can win on deep balls. 1

The one he had in the playoffs against the Colts was fantastic. 1
Bferra13 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Man these threads worry me... I see, Diggs wants.." and first thing my mind goes to is a new contract. 1

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Lighter bat, faster bat speed, more dingers. Does his beer league allow composites? 1
LeGOATski Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I like the play where Diggs is double covered downfield, but Josh throws it anyway so Diggs can draw a PI. Just as good as hitting the deep ball.

Disregard his 40 time at the combine - he was coming off an injury and played for a very bad program. He was a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, largely because of his speed and explosiveness. 1 hour ago, warrior9 said: He ran a 4.45 coming out of college and the way he works and training he’s since been provided, I’d imagine he’s faster. He can win on deep balls. Agreed, but again, he went to a bad program and had injuries in college. I'm sure he got faster once he got better training. As I say above, speed was why he was a five-star recruit. Edited July 30, 2021 by dave mcbride 1
Clyde Smith Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 With Sanders and Bease on the field, you can't double down on Diggs. Makes it a lot easier to get those 70 and 80 yard Madden passes. I can envision it, rock on!

His last 2 years he has 40 receptions of over 20 yards and 13 receptions of over 40 yards. His last year in Minnesota he averaged 17.9 YPC...I think you are vastly underestimating his deep ability Edited July 30, 2021 by Big Turk 1

So as soon as Diggs catches it it's already a TD! Can you Digg it!

He mostly runs over the middle. Maybe that's how Daboll wants to use him?

Diggs kills teams with his precise route running and is almost always open for easy 15-20 yard completions which are much higher percentage throws. But that doesn't mean he can't get deep when need be...
