DeAngelo Hall: Still Stupid


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Actually D Hall has turned into a solid tackler since signing with the Redskins. He's matured over the past couple seasons and is one of the better cornerbacks in football and a great team guy now. But everybody and their mom knows that Romo's ribs are fair game. Thats football.

Someone hasn't been paying attention. Outside of one game he's been getting toasted by RBs breaking free and WRs.

(Unless i totally missed the sarcasm)

Telling everyone ahead of time that he plans to target Tony Romo's injured ribs... :nonod:

Worth noting this comes from a guy who was juked/stiffarmed by Jake Delhomme. He's not exactly a Steve Atwater level hitter.

Do you hear his comments or just read them? I have no problem with what he said after actually listening to it. Blown out of propotion like most non stories.

Going after a player with a weakness? Yeah, that's part of the game.

Blabbing about it ahead of time is tantamount to saying, "hey ref, go ahead and have your flag throwing hand ready", especially when it's directed at a high profile player (say, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, for example).

While he's at it, he may as well have a blank check written out to Roger Goodell ready for mailing.

You honestly think it's not? You think a CB with a known issue wouldn't be targeted over and over? It's one thing trying to intentionally injured someone but injured players get targeted as a weakness all the time.

I said it was, and I believe it is.

What's stupid is to telegraph it ahead of time (for reasons listed above).

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
