00:00Maz, where do you want to start?

00:02I want to start with, well, I'll tell you what my biggest takeaway of the game was.

00:06I think the single most sustainable and positive development

00:12that came out of that game was the emergence of Stephon Diggs.

00:15To me, that was it.

00:16I thought he was the best player on the field yesterday.

00:20I thought he was the best player by a wide margin.

00:23I think he's the best player on the Patriots offense.

00:26He has a knack for getting open.

00:28He catches everything that's thrown to him.

00:30He can make big plays, small plays, all kinds of plays.

00:35And I looked it up today because they are now 19 of 22

00:39when they throw the ball to Stephon Diggs this year.

00:42Okay, three misses, 19 of 22.

00:45Among wide receivers in the NFL, in terms of catch percentage, he's number one.

00:52Wow.

00:53Number one in the league.

00:54Now, there were two guys ahead of him that are non-receivers.

00:57One is Jameer Gibbs.

00:58One is Jake Ferguson.

01:00Obviously, a running back and a tight end.

01:02But no receiver in football has caught a higher percentage of his throws

01:07or passes targeted to him with a minimum of 20 targets than Stephon Diggs.

01:12And I tell you, my eyeball test, when I watch it, it looks that way.

01:17He's usually open.

01:19He doesn't need much space.

01:21He holds on to everything.

01:22He knows how to find spots and zones.

01:25He knows how to, you know, run a route and create space for himself.

01:30And if Drake May delivers the ball, he catches it.

01:35Off the top of my head, two of the three misses were bad throws.

01:38One yesterday.

01:40Yesterday, yeah.

01:40And there was one in week one that was a similar kind of play where May threw behind him.

01:45Well, you know, I want to say, I told you so, but I've always told you.

01:47I love this guy's game because he's like right up my alley as a receiver,

01:52which is get open, catch the ball, go over the middle, move the chains.

01:56I'm more interested in those guys than the take the top off guy.

01:59And Steph Diggs has, you know, he certainly was more explosive in his prime

02:03in Minnesota and into Buffalo.

02:06But he's still, he's obviously kept that thing that he can,

02:10he gets open in the middle of the field and catches the ball

02:12and takes the punishment and comes back for more.

02:15I love his play style.

02:16I mean, Mike, that little six, eight yard pass in the middle of the field,

02:20just behind the line of scrimmage, like they could throw that all day.

02:25He'll be open every time and he'll catch it.

02:27They could get six, eight yards on first or second down every single time if they wanted.
