I can't wait to finally get TURNOVERS.

Here's an old article from last year:

Most interceptions since 2005 (as of 11/08):
Champ Bailey 22
Asante Samuel 22
DeAngelo Hall 18
Darren Sharper 17
Charles Woodson 17

And that's not including the two he picked off for us last year..

From what I saw on Redskins Nation earlier this week (yes I occasionally take time to sit through a Larry Michael hosted program), Hall will likely be covering the opponents number 1 this season. But that's fine. Aside from his short stint in Oakland behind Asomugha, he's been the #1 corner his entire career.

I like those stats you posted there. Good stuff. I didn't know Hall was that far up the list in INTs. Man, if our D can stay healthy we could be flat out nasty.

Yeah, one of the issues in games IMO sometimes for the redskins D was that opposing offenses weren't scared to attempt to throw deep because there wasn't a corner that could a make a play at intercepting the ball.

Having Hall covering a wr would make any qb think twice throwing it into tight coverage and take away some of the qb's comfort level on any play.
