1. Haynesworth's unwillingness to learn the playbook and listen to the coaches is what cost him the starting job. Hall has probably followed directions more than AH ever did.
2. Shanahan was pretty patient with Haynesworth too; he kept him on the roster and not suspending him until very late into the season.

or c) Shanny doesnt have any other options at CB so he has to stick with DH.

Shanny had other viable options who could take AH's place I dont think he does for DH. I dont have a problem with DH playing the remaining games and considering how little talent the SKins have I could actually see DH being on this team next year.

Shanahan has plenty of options, especially now that the season is lost. What were his options with AH? Kemo and his health issues?

Pretty sure two teams didn't cut Hall

LOL, you must be looking at a different roster than I am.

Actually losing doesn't suck for cultbrennan. He wants us to lose, just as any Cowboys fan does.

I would like for anyone who makes a big deal out of this two answer these two questions:

A.) Isn't it a bigger deal that two of our safeties (not one, but TWO) failed to bring down Gronkowski? They couldn't even push him out of bounds!!

and...

B.) Hall is not a good tackler, any chance he brings down Gronkowski on a head-on tackle?

Great point. Two guys together should always make that tackle. Kerrigan had a fail as well.

As much as I like Gomes and Kerrigan, I hope that the coaches are calling them out for their tackling.

Doughty had a chance to lay the wood on him and didnt do it. We once had a saftey around here that would have. Ive always take up for Doughty but that was horrible.

I know many of you don't like Joey T. but I do and I couldn't agree more with him.

Joe Theismann rips Hall, Williams, Davis - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

Can't argue with anything Joe is saying.

Hes right, they are athletic idiots, and will put there immediate pleasures before anything else, "oh but they're our best offensive players", but you cant trust them! I hope they learn from it and become long term Skins, but im sure they will do it again. They proved just how much they care about thier job. The others are out there playing there asses off for jobs or just the pride of it and these two top scholars are fn suspended for dope. geesh.wtf

“You know, I shook my head and I went, you’re looking for leadership on a football team. And then the stuff with DeAngelo in Sunday’s game, standing around and watching, trying to pull an Albert Haynesworth. I mean, come on,” Theismann said. “DeAngelo’s been the most vocal guy, criticizing coaches after the Dallas game. How about shutting up and just playing football?

“As a fan — and I’m speaking purely as a fan right now — if I’m a fan of the Washington Redskins and I see that exhibition, and it’s on ESPN’s C’mon Man, it stands out like a sore thumb. Is that the way you want people to view you? Is that the way you view your job? Imagine all these people driving down the Beltway, everybody sitting in their offices right now, imagine them doing their job the way DeAngelo did his on Sunday, and expecting to get a paycheck.

Did I not bring up these exact same points already. At least someone agrees with me that he pulled a haynesworth.

Hall knows he screwed up on that one play. It doesn't excuse it. It's happened to other players, but again no excuse. It's was a bad, lazy play on his part. I wouldn't expect to see it again. I'd bench him if it does.

I've never seen LF have a lazy play or take a play off. I'm just not sure what his future is in DC. If he isn't a leader on the field then well...we need leaders.
