00:00He's better on the field than I thought.

00:01He was out there.

00:02I didn't think he'd be out there week one,

00:04so his health is better than I thought.

00:05I was wrong about all those things.

00:07I think the thing I was most wrong about,

00:09at least in this honeymoon period that you've talked about a lot, Keith,

00:12is he is bought in.

00:14You're going to hear more from Vrabel, Diggs, about Vrabel

00:17and buying in with the coach here.

00:20But I kind of thought Diggs was going to be more mercenary,

00:24more out for himself.

00:26He might wear out his welcome.

00:27I mean, that is his history.

00:29He did it in Buffalo.

00:30He did it in Minnesota.

00:31It's debatable if he did it in Houston or not,

00:33but they certainly didn't want him back.

00:34And look at that receiver room.

00:36They could use receivers.

00:37So his history is he wears out welcomes.

00:40That might still be in the future.

00:42But for right now, the man is bought in.

00:46And the messaging there is great.

00:48It's I took it not crying about the rest like all of us,

00:51ourselves included, did.

00:52The callers have all done.

00:54People were doing a live during the game watching it.

00:56Even if he did, people would be agreeing with him.

00:58Yeah, they would.

00:59He wasn't even better than that.

01:00But he said, no, I took it.

01:01It's not the refs.

01:02It was me.

01:03I took it away from him.

01:04And on top of that, guys, let's not drink the Kool-Aid.

01:06We're four and two.

01:06There's a long season left.

01:07So let's figure it out.

01:09And I think that messaging from Diggs has been consistently strong.

01:12And I did not expect that at all.

01:14Yeah, because if anybody was going to sort of like be so caught up in one game,

01:18it might be him for, you know, because of the Buffalo game and what that meant.

01:22But it was after the Buffalo game when we played the comments last week when he was

01:26like, in many ways, this next game is tougher because, you know, going up against the first

01:30place team, the measuring stick game, the reigning MVP of the league, like all of that,

01:35then you're still going to go out and play the rest of the season.

01:37And that next week could be a little bit of a letdown because, you know, what really

01:42motivates you other than it's just another week in the NFL to play the Saints, like a

01:45one win team.

01:46You're like, oh, you could easily get kind of caught in that trap.

01:49They didn't.

01:50And then, all right, so you pass that test, but you're not done like it's and that's

01:54why, like having some of these veterans, like they got rid of so many of their previous

01:59years, captains and like veteran guys.

02:01And one of the things Mike Vrabel did was not only did he bring in his pretty much his

02:05entire own coaching staff, but look at some of these guys that have come in here and

02:10the teams that they have been on.

02:11I mean, Milton Williams just won a Super Bowl.

02:13Harold Landry's been on a bunch of good teams.

02:15Steph Diggs has obviously been on a bunch of good teams.

02:17He hasn't won it, but he's been on a lot of good teams.
