Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs talks to Micah Parsons about postgame actions

It wasn’t long after the end of the Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers; his fourth consecutive loss at the hands of Kyle Shanahan, due to the attention to the change. This is because after the game, CB Trevon Diggs was caught on camerauniformed, confronting a member of the Dallas media. The television sports host had posted a tweet during the game, questioning Diggs’ performance on a big play, and Diggs had heard about it.

In his regular one-on-one with teammate Micah Parsons on the latter’s Bleacher Report podcast, Diggs admits that he let emotions get the better of him. However, he remains adamant that what the media member was implying was incorrect.

Was.

Diggs was getting criticized for not wanting to tackle, but it was actually one of the best performances of his career when it came to tackling. It’s no secret that he has a reputation for not wanting to get involved in scrums, but that wasn’t the case in this game. In fact, the fact that Diggs was in personal coverage absolved him of the wrath that had been placed on him, and the way he pursued the play seemed in line with what a secondary defender should do with a teammate in front of him. he.

He played at an angle to be the last line of defense while maintaining position to present an obstacle in case TE George Kittle had dropped back inside.

Of course, with things going really bad in Dallas, none of that matters to much of the fan base. When a member of the media calls attention to a player for a negative play, preconceived notions immediately take over. Most observers, including many media outlets, don’t know the intricacies of how a player is supposed to respond on a given play.

But again, that ends up being irrelevant to the perception of how things happened.
