Following the 30-27 road loss to the Carolina Panthers, the former All-Pro defensive back seemingly put his teammates on blast for all the defensive miscues.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Trevon Diggs Opens up on &#8216;Frustrating&#8217; Defensive Miscues<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s very frustrating. It&#8217;s all these points (given up), the receivers are running wide open down the field, too many busted coverages. It&#8217;s a lot. I feel like we\u2019re all over the place and we really don\u2019t have no identity,&#8221;\u00a0Diggs said, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb\"><\/div>\n<p>Diggs has been\u00a0openly critical of Matt Eberflus&#8217; zone-heavy coverage schemes. He&#8217;s reportedly reached out to him to plead for more man coverage. When asked about that, the defensive coordinator didn&#8217;t want to read too much into his complaints:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI value everybody\u2019s opinion. That\u2019s important that you do that as a coach. And you listen. That\u2019s important that you do that too,&#8221;\u00a0Eberflus said after the game, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re growing as a group. There\u2019s improvement in the play. We just gotta keep growing as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb2\"><\/div>\n<p>To be fair, Diggs should also take a deep look in the mirror and hold himself accountable before pointing the finger at anybody else. He&#8217;s logged a 62.6 Pro Football Focus grade, which ranks 70th among 168 cornerbacks, and he has yet to record a single interception despite playing 260 snaps. He&#8217;s also been on the wrong end of some big plays, giving up nine receptions on eleven targets for 168 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys&#8217; defense was expected to regress without Micah Parsons, so this isn&#8217;t much of a surprise. They may not have the personnel to turn things around, and Eberflus&#8217; apparent reluctance to make adjustments or try different things only spells more trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas has some tough games ahead of it, with the Washington Commanders (home), Denver Broncos (away), and Arizona Cardinals (home) before their bye week. They&#8217;re 2-3-1 after six weeks, and it wouldn&#8217;t be much of a surprise to see them drop at least two of their next three games unless they make some moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re six weeks into the regular season, and the Dallas Cowboys have yet to crack the code on defense.\u00a0They&#8217;ve failed even against some struggling quarterbacks, with Russell&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":107794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
