Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

Maybe he can be an average SS but we've already got one of those.

We totally over rate Landry on this board...and I am guilty of it at times as well. His play has never earned the status that redskins fans have given him.

Couldn't have said that better. LL is a mediocre safety at this point. He has the ability to become a very good one.

i dont think i agree with this. landry and his sideline to sideline cover skills freed horton up to play near the ball last year, making horton an impact player with stats while landry had to sacrifice stats to cover everyones behind last year.

im strating to think I would rather have landry play closer to the ball at SS but i dont trust any other safeties to come in and be able to do what landry gives us now. he was headhuntin last night, no doubt his emotion and drive to lay out some punishment caused him to take some poor angels but landry sacrifices alot of personal stats and glory for the sake of the team defense. at least last year . .

go skins!!

Definitely agree with that. And we need Hall on our defense because he seems to be our only threat to make a play (talking about the D Backs specifically). For all his faults, I have faith that he'll get an interception every time I see him out on defense. Rogers, on the other hand, who I think is a very efficient DB is never a threat to get an INT. And we need turnovers. So if Rogers can lock down one side and Hall can get me the INTs on the other side, I'm fine with that.

Springs could do both, but it's not 2004 anymore.

Problem with this SS, is that Al Davis already gambled eight figures on this, and decided after 8 games that he couldn't take it anymore.

And Hall did pick off three passes as a Raider. He just cost them way, way more than that.

We do need the big plays from somewhere though. I prefer Orakpo and Haynesworth (and Carter).
