00:00Stephon Diggs had a huge night.

00:02He was clearly motivated playing against his former team,

00:05but you could tell on the sideline he was the motivational leader,

00:09looked like a captain out there, getting everybody focused.

00:14Everybody was focused.

00:16Was that as advertised when it came to Stephon Diggs?

00:19Clearly a great player, but he looked like the leader out there tonight.

00:25Yeah, he's been doing that every week.

00:26I mean, if you watch the sidelines carefully,

00:29I've looked over at times and seen him in the offensive line huddle,

00:34getting those guys picked up.

00:35I think since he's been here full-time, pretty much once training camp started,

00:40I think in the offseason, people weren't sure what to make of him

00:45because he wasn't here that often.

00:46But everybody you talked to in Houston said he was great

00:51and he was a leader in the wide receiver room

00:53and he was a great teammate and all that stuff.

00:56And, you know, since he got here for training camp, he's been doing that.

01:02So, you know, it's great to see.

01:04I think that he certainly, his legs showed a lot more juice tonight,

01:09probably had to do with going to Buffalo, a little bit more adrenaline.

01:13I mean, he had like, I was just looking it up,

01:15he had 62 yards after the catch, which, you know, we hadn't really seen yet.

01:23And I think that made a big difference.

01:26People will probably be surprised to know that he played 50% of the snaps tonight

01:30and had the kind of production that he did.

01:32And I think this is something that coaches have stayed focused on,

01:36that, you know, he was never going to be like a 70%, 80% guy, you know,

01:41considering his age and what he came back from.

01:43But if they can maximize, you know, the 50% to 60% that they have him,

01:48that's the best thing for this team.

01:50And that's what we sort of saw tonight really come to fruition.

01:53And that's what we sort of saw tonight.
