Deangelo Hall For Punt Returner!

[djnemo65]

When was the last time El broke one for us? I only remember that one against the Colts in 2006. You can trot out his averages all you want but he is not a credible threat to take one to the house. He is not really anything more than adequate.

As for Hall, he is explosive, and given that he wasn't on the team last week I don't know how he can now be so important to us that he can't risk injury.

That's AREs only PR TD as a Redskin. He has 6 in his career, but he's 28 years old now, I believe.

29 but close enough for warpath work.

ARE does to much shake and bake, east and west trying to make something there that isn't.

It would be nice to see him hit it straight up the pipe, the results couldn't be any worse. I have never been pleased with ARE's overall production in this role since we signed him.

Good #2/3 WR and can pull of a trick play as in his old QB fashion days (Throws a nice ball). Great team leader and all the things you expect out of a class act as ARE is. But when you see Moss get a shot just here and there and next thing you know he's in the endzone, it's night and day comparison. Thats also a dual edge blade. I cringe when a see our true #1 wideout back there with a big bullseye on his chest returning punts.

I say give Hall a shot once he's comfortable in the role.

I was going to say that he (Hall) can actually catch the ball and make the pick...but then I remember our team can't do squat with those types of opportunities, so we might as well have him return punts.
