-- That means Bashaud Breeland officially moves into Hall's spot as one of the top two cornerbacks, and Quinton Dunbar remains behind him. With Chris Culliver out for the year with a torn ACL and MCL, Will Blackmon is now officially listed as the starter at the other cornerback spot, with Deshazor Everett and Dashaun Phillips, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Friday, behind him.
very interesting to see Hall at the SS starter...what a disappointment Jeron Johnson has been. I imagine Jarrett will continue at slot corner

I'm curious, I remember when we got Johnson the fan base (me included) got excited because we were taking a backup from the Legion of Boom and figuring that he might be very good, just stuck behind some great players in Chancellor and Earl Thomas.
But we only signed Johnson for close to league minimum. Seems like nobody else really wanted him much.
I don't remember the Redskins ever behaving like they thought Johnson was the answer, I remember them always couching it that Johnson and Ihenacho would compete to play.
Unless I'm wrong on that, I think this is a classic case of where the fanbase got carried away. Still though, for Johnson to not even be reliable enough to prevent the team from converting an aging corner to play his spot, not good.
At least we're not on the hook for a big contract.
