All he had to do was keep his head up so he could see and wrap up Digg's legs. He would have fallen in bounds and time would have run out before another play could be called.
Instead, he ducked and it was a complete whiff by Williams and the rest is history.
It would have had to have been a perfect tackle, cutting both legs out from underneath Diggs so that he landed on his hip/back and not on his feet. Anything less and Diggs would have easily stepped out of bounds. And it was a perfectly ran route, just over the corner and under the safety with his momentum heading towards the sidelines, perfectly thrown ball.
But I do agree that Williams was probably trying to do just that and missed badly, taking out his own player instead of the receiver.
Man, the poor kid is just getting eaten alive by Twitter. I hope law enforcement catches some of those guys that are telling him that he'd better not come back to No Lense.
