My only issue with the Hall criticism is that:

a.) People act like he is the only thing wrong with the team (a.k.a. the Jason Campbell effect)

b.) A lot of the people that complain about him, do so because they don't "like" him (which is pretty childish if you ask me)

As I've said before, any issue with the defense is minor compared to the leaps and bounds that this team has to do on to fix the offense. Even yesterday when the offense played well, they still were very inept during the first quarter and failed miserably at putting the team in a better position to kick the field goal in OT.

I've gone from the Hall camp to being very anti-Hall.. His technique is AWFUL. How many times have we seen him spun around completely by a single move? Philly game, Miami game, Dallas game off the top of my head he was turned around on a simple out move. On the Bryant TD, he jumped a route on a poorly run route and no pump fake, getting himself out of position to make a play on the ball and made for an easy TD pass.

He's got some serious technique issues he needs to correct in a hurry. No he's not to blame for all of our woes but for a playmaker, a captain and one who is our 'best' CB, he is failing miserably in 2011.
