Raiders to waive Deangelo Hall

[SkinzzFan]

Skins have great team chemistry and Hall could potentially kill that. They should stay away from him. Hopefully (fingers crossed) Springs will be 100% for the second half of the season. Besides, I would rather see Dallas sign him so Santana can burn his ass too!

I'd take a flyer on him, especially with Springs' recent track record.

No team is a "good" team if DeAngelo Hall is in it's starting lineup.

I know you love Hokies, and thats fine, but Hall clearly can't play defense in the NFL. His only value is as a special teamer.

I wouldn't mind Walker coming over. It doesn't seem like Kelly will be ready this season.
Were shallow at WR.

I'm wavering on Walker. On the one hand he would probably have a more immediate impact than Thomas. On the other hand, Thomas (and Davis) need to get out there and play and take their lumps.

Walker may have value to a team ranked 25th in offense with a single WR threat who may develop a lingering leg injury.

This may be quite possible considering our #5 WR may end up on injured reserve anyways.

My questions regarding Walker
What is his current contract?
Can we afford it?
Is he likely to get through waivers?

Yes, because nobody is going to pony up that kind of dough for him right now. He is going to clear waivers and become a free agent.

But Devin doesn't even know the playbook. He's running the wrong routes, which apparently led to an INT against Pitt. If him taking lumps hurts us like that, I say ride the pine. Of course, with Moss hurt our receiving corps drops off like the Grand Canyon, so we really have no choice but to play him. With Moss, ARE, Cooley, and then three pass catchers taken with the first three picks, I would have never envisioned us having this kind of discussion. Damn.

Of course Devin is screwing up though; he's a rookie playing in an offense that is new for everyone. As good as we are now, we need to take a long term approach. It will take years for the entire team to learn this offense, but when it finally does, it will be nasty. The more we can keep guys in (ESPECIALLY guys who are making mistakes) the more dividends it will pay in the long run.

i think we are forgetting at how bad al davis has fallen off the deep end.he fires a head coach,refuses to pay him,and is gonna pay 2 players 19 million dollars for 8 games a piece this season,he really is nuts is'nt he?

[GTripp0012]

Welcome to the board 47Fan! You're right, he cost us the state championship.

If he could keep his mouth shut, I'd love to see DH as a punt returner with the Skins. But I doubt he'd keep his mouth shut.

I believe this is something we would have to look at. I know at this point, we are pretty comfortable with our corners. However, Springs is getting older. I wouldn't be objected to seeing what it takes to bring him in, if reasonable. The kid has talent and is young. You put him, Carlos, Smoot, and Springs and that is a pretty talented secondary. Especially for seasons to come if Springs retires or is sent packing for money reasons.

I really think the veteran leadership, along with the work ethic of Portis, Moss, Randel el, Carter and the younger leaders of this team, would have him in line rather quickly.

[Daseal]

I don't see D Hall being much of an issue. I really think we could get him for a reasonable contract and willing to re-prove himself.
