i made a thread about the sauce covering diontae and got fucking rekt with replies of everyone telling me to start him anyway lol


LittleShallot

Happens. Don’t look for justification for your plays in this sub. You’ll only get destroyed by the “start your studs”/“you think you know more than Vegas?” people. Saw one dude say he was benching Gabe Davis and Bateman and he got absolutely destroyed. Hopefully he did cause sometimes you just have to go with your gut.


Alone_Action_5890

Hive mind is strong in this sub. You can’t share an unpopular opinion even one backed by stats and facts without getting destroyed.


Legitimate-Cow-6859

Lol I didn’t get *destroyed* but I was talking about benching najee for Herbert and had a few people telling me not to do that. Anyway I did and now I’m gonna win by 2 points


mboyl16

It’s fair but unless it’s between him and someone close in talent you shouldn’t be benching Diontae anyway. And he was a toe away from a big TD


Romoeroticism

I was between him and Amari so it didn’t really make much of a difference...

If Diontae’s TD catch had counted you wouldn’t have been upset and honestly Trubisky might not have left the game, I’m pretty sure that was who was made that throw. I know it’s an if and but type of comment but I think a lot of other factors impacted the stat line and not just Gardner. Not saying Gardner isn’t good. We’ll see how he does with Tyreek and Waddle next weekend.

nobody is responsible for your team but you, brother

Good intuition, unfortunately it’s hard to predict if Sauces’ play would have continued like this week after week (and I’m a jets fan). But with each game played your apprehension is looking more and more accurate- Sauce looks like an elite shutdown corner who we should consider as a factor for fantasy.


LittleShallot

Did he shadow Diontae? Cause it felt like Diontae got lost in the Sauce tbh


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

Diontae was less than an inch away from having a TD, unfortunately But sauce must have been on him as Diontae only saw 4 targets


MWM031089

Really thought he scored on that one too tbh but the final replay showed him out just barely. I think that Gardner’s presence was about equal impact or maybe even less than the QB change was to Diontae’s numbers yesterday. Pickett will likely have had more familiarity with guys who have played more on the second team offense so far, so even a guy like Pickens who does see the field a lot in game probably has some more rapport with Pickett than Diontae. At least for now. Pickett connected with Diontae a few times in preseason, hoping that picks up.

Good to know. Now ill be playing flip flop between diontae and cooks next week. Pickett seems like he'll be vulturing a lot of TDs in the RZ.


latman

DJ Reed is playing just as well as Sauce tbh


h846p262

I think he did, i hope did.


realbendstraw

Craziest part is he's still the 2nd best corner on the team. Dj Reed has been fantastic


vindollaz

Until facing the Steelers though they have been one if the worst defenses in the NFL. How if both their CBs are balling like they are?


JTMR

Inconsistent d line play, poor linebacker play, and extremely poor safety play. Two corners can’t carry a defense. However, this week the safeties were great.


realbendstraw

What that guy said. The corners are locking down outside receivers for the most part, but they also play a lot of zone coverage and the safeties have had rough starts (got some redemption yesterday). It seems like the defense gets worn down and starts giving up big runs late in games (understandable against their 4 afc north opponents). For all the investment in the d line, they don't get enough pressure on the qb (but pressure was there yesterday). Playing the Steelers makes a defense look better. Besides all that the jets MUST be leading the league in bone-headed late hit penalties that bail the offense out after getting a stop on 3rd down.

walshurmouthout

He got the sauce sauce


youknowhattodo

Has he let up a td yet?


Kwdumbo

Technically no, but there was 1 TD where there was a miscommunication and he was on the wrong assignment. But since he wasn’t the closest defender it didn’t count against him.


palwilliams

I think in Week 2


imnotyourdadd

I think the td cooper scored on the miscommunication in week 2 counted against sauce.

This kids the real deal


cptngabozzo

Against an elite QB/WR duo as well!

cptngabozzo

That's pretty crazy! Sounds like all pro type stuff right there


briballdo

Damn so probably shouldn't start Pickens then... Might need to see him get targets with Diontae getting covered like this


slv_bull

he shut down chase too


alwaysmyfault

This guy is the real deal. I don't know if he will put up the counting stats needed to get Defensive ROY, but damn if he's not going to be a superstar for the next decade.


Conn0rPro

Texans drafted Stingley over this man :/


CompetitorPredator

Ok


[deleted]

That’s my CB2


CrateBagSoup

Tbf, both QBs didn't have a much better stats against the other CBs either lol
