Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

[GTripp0012]

There's also a lot of evidence to suggests that defenses can't do anything to create interception opportunities, and that they always regress to the mean every year. In this case, this would suggest the difference in INTs between Rogers and Hall are entirely circumstantial.

Of course, Rogers still obviously drops a higher percentage of his INTs, that's not at all in dispute. But how many of Hall's INTs are of the variety from Sunday: only there for the taking because it was thrown at a receiver he was lined up against, and someone else made the play?

I don't think it really matters. Ball+hands=catch. Who cares if it was tipped at the line, a blown route or a great break by the corner? Make the play.

If Hall had been in better position coverage wise, he probably wouldn't have made the pick yesterday. He was three yards off the intended when Landry tipped the ball to him.
