One of the most notable moments from the Cowboys' loss to the 49ers came after the game, where CB Trevon Diggs confronted WFAA reporter Mike Leslie about tweets sent about his apparently lackadaisical play. Leslie joined the GBag Nation to discuss his reaction to being confronted by the All-Pro corner.

00:00Mike, do you feel like that maybe that Diggs took exception to your tweet because of like
00:23he actually played a game where he was pretty physical in the game, where he was involved
00:27in the tackling aspects?
00:29Do you think he took it as like, hey man, grade me for all my plays, not just for one
00:34play?
00:35I think that's fair and listen, I didn't expect in the slightest when I sent this tweet
00:41out that it was going to mushroom cloud the way that it did.
00:44That was one of, I don't even know how many social media posts I put out between Twitter
00:48and Facebook over the course of yesterday's game.
00:50I mean, I asked the question, I said, what is he doing on this play?
00:56Now I don't, in any way, shape or form intend to insult y'all's intelligence nor his intelligence.
01:03I know it was a pointed tweet.
01:05Obviously if I'm pointing to him and saying, what's he doing on this play?
01:09It's a critical tweet.
01:12But I asked, what is he doing on this play?
01:15There's a plausible explanation.
01:17It looked to me like he wasn't giving full effort or like he wasn't trying to get fully
01:22in the way of George Kittle.
01:26But I mean, listen, I played football at the high school level and that was it.
01:32Yes, Trayvon Diggs knows football better than I do.
01:35Mike McCarthy knows football better than I do.
01:39I reserve the right to be wrong.
01:41There's a possibility I was wrong.
01:43I don't, you know, if that's the case, that's the case.
01:48I saw what I saw.
01:49I commented on it.
01:51I may have been right.
01:52I may not have been.
01:55I'm just trying to cover the team as best I can.
02:00And that's what I was doing in that moment, just like I was doing the entire rest of the
02:03game.
