Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

[GMScud]

At least Hall was honest about his shitty performance. When Kelly Johnson interviewed him after the game, he called himself out for poor tackling, bad technique, and penalties. He said he played a lousy game, has some things to work on, and needs to get better.

He's got the skill set for sure. He knows he played like crap today and needs to step up. That doesn't excuse today's cruddy game, but at least he's humble and ready to go fix it this week. The only finger he pointed was at himself.

Well, you know, he's a 5th year player. And he's played like crap most of his career.

I understand that taking responsibility is the first step to improvement, but without some meaningless popularity contest (read: the pro bowl), the guy wouldn't have had this many chances already.

He's only 25, and hey, maybe the light goes on next week. But he might not realize if not for his athleticism, he would have been out of the league after last year.

That's a bit harsh, he was excellent in Atlanta for 3 years and flamed out in a season where the entire team flamed out. Everyone is terrible in Oakland and he played well for us last season. I understand that Hall is as polarizing as Campbell in love him/hate him but he's nowhere nearly as bad as you're portraying him.

Since I'm not from the DMV area and don't have any non Redskins regional alliances there I wonder sometimes if some opinions were formed based on other factors.

Oh, I am 100% convinced that if Marcus Mason was from Dempsey, Iowa he wouldn't be on our 53 or even been invited back to camp.

Yeah, they should have given Rogers and extension resigned Springs and still would have had money to sign an OL. But no.

Dude Springs is always hurt for at least 5 to 8 games. He is old and injury prone. No thanks to Springs. Rogers has to learn how to catch interceptions thats his biggest problem.

Nice post.

I don't want to give up on Hall. I completely agree w/ the FO's decision to let Springs go...I watched him closely last season and by the end he was just not a #1 corner (his play against SF was downright awful). I highly doubt Springs rebounds in NE but I could be wrong. That said it seems like Vinny went "looking" for a quick fix to the inevitable loss of Springs and just wanted Hall to be that guy. Not a good football decision.

Hall needs to play tougher/more aggressive and he can be serviceable...Jerry and Greg should chew his ass all week for playing like a pussy.
