Diggs out with a broken foot (Report: Out for Season)

- Start date
Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
This is gonna be a huge week for the 2-deep on the D-line.
It's time to release Eyabi Anoma into the wild during legit snaps.
Appropriate pressure will be key. Need to generate with 4 man just like we did against Ole Miss. Have to be able to drop the LB's into coverage.

Jobe? Smith? Knott? Lots of players ready to contribute more.

What’s telling is Coach didn’t know about it until some time yesterday.

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Can anybody say what Mizzou's O-line is like? I think that'll be the tale of the day.
I think Bama's defense had their eyes opened. They had their egos bruised. This is certainly not what you want to have happen but I think we will be ok. Would be better if he were healthy but some of those guys have been in the program long enough that they should be able to contribute.
If they devour film this week and practice hard I still think we will be ok.

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Yes but now our best corner is an inexperienced talented true freshman. Diggs going down puts a tremendous amount of stress on our defense because he was our only true lockdown cornerback.
Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Just means that Diggs didn't realize how bad it was, so didn't tell the trainers. I broke my left foot a few years ago and ran on it for 2 weeks before I realized that something serious was wrong and sought treatment.
Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Diggs was just starting to come into his own. Sucks for him and for the defense. Time for Smith, Knott, or whoever to step up their game.
We seem to have had an inordinate amount of foot injuries the past 2-3 seasons.

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
I disagree. I know that you guys love Diggs, but he is probably the least talented of your CBs. He is more experienced and has blazing speed, but SSmith and JJobe are more talented.
Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Foot fractures can be easily missed on plain radiographs (X rays)--the sort of imaging study you would get in the "locker room" during the game. It's possible that Diggs needed to get a CT scan in order to detect the foot fractures. Now we are told that he will get an MRI for further assessment ( i.e. to detect occult fractures and/or ligamentous damage).

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
He totally shut down his side of the field against Ole Miss and aTm allowing more help from the safeties on Surtain’s side and the middle. It’s a pretty serious loss
Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
I think between Saivion Smith and Shyheim Carter, they will be able to fill the void of Diggs. Saivion has the length and speed while Shyheim has the scrappy play much like Cyrus Jones had. I hate to lose such a great player and person that Diggs is, but I have to believe we will be fine in the end. And we have a home game this weekend rather than traveling to Missouri which will help our defensive backfield. We will probably see more of Jared Mayden as well in this game. I am really hoping to also see, as some other have mentioned, Eyabi Anoma get more playing time off the edges and get to Drew Lock.

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Yep, like I said on the first page...Diggs has been a shutdown corner in 2018 or at least just about as close to it as there is on the team. This is a huge loss because he's the only corner with returning experience despite not being a starter until this season. We're going to be relying even more on DBs who have yet to show the ability to handle pattern matching zone.

As the sky is falling for a lot of you, I think we are fine. The defense has a way of getting better during this time. I like Diggs though, really do, but I think we are good in this area at least for now.
Now though, kinda see what Arky did when it came to scoring.

Arkansas didn’t score until we were up 21-0 on them. What’s your point with this?
What?They started scoring too?

Re: Diggs out with a broken foot
Anoma needs to get more playing time. Miller and Jennings are good but not great. Anoma is way too talented to be on the bench. He at least can bring pressure as a situational pass rusher. That will help out the DB's.
