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).

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
