DeAngelo Hall Questions Our Personnel Strategy

[Ruhskins]

We do have problems with personnel...we have one CB that can't tackle a statue of a QB and another who couldn't catch a ball even if it was dipped in crazy glue.

In honor of djnemo quoting Shakespeare in another thread I will quote Homer here

This team sure does suck. They just plain suck! I've seen teams suck before, but these are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked

One of the best lines from that show.

Eh, D. Hall is a bit outspoken and people hate him no matter what. I mean he whiffed a big time play, but also made a big time play. You don't see people going nuts about Rogers dropping a pick that hit him in the hands. But he's getting paid more than Rogers, and is expected to make plays every time.

Indeed

he gives us the ball on the 1, I'll take a missed tackle everytime for that, inopportune, especially considering the point of the game? sure

he's a cb though

DeAngelo Hall is probably the least physical corner we have, the whiff on Delhomme and the whiff on Manningham in week 1 being exhibits A & B.

BUT, to discount what he said because of that or his absurd contract is to shoot the messenger for the message. Didn't the FO OFFER him that contract? So we're blaming Hall for overpaying him instead of concentrating on the O-line? Yeah, that makes sense. There's a reason so few of our players are playing up to their contracts, it's because we don't pay players for what they've done in DC. Outside of Cooley and Samuels there hasn't been one Redskins player that we've drafted, developed, and paid. You can't disregard the draft for a decade, sign a defensive tackle and then be surprised when our backup LT is a guard. I'm going to have a Guiness because our FO is Brilliant!

There's nothing wrong w/ Hall's comments. The offensive line is a disaster created by the ineptitude and general mismanagement within our FO, which for all practical purposes is lil Danny and his toady Vinnie. Don't tell me it's the coaches fault we've got the worst oline in football...if it takes a coach to point this out than lil D doesn't deserve to own a franchise (well that's already up for question) and Vinny doesn't deserve to have any more responsibility than washing uniforms (the rest of the league already knows this). So bottom line is it falls on the FO and while Hall can't come right out and say "These guys don't have the first clue how to put a team together" his comments from the article get the point across. He's talking common sense and that's about the gist of it...

[diehardskin2982]

is it offense vs Defense yet?

Funny how everyone wants to bash Hall for the missed tackle, but won't give him any credit for his 44-yard INT return that set up a TD.

I can't disagree with anything he's saying.

The funny thing is that as much as we bash the front office, the fans a lot of times think JUST like the front office. Focusing on one little thing and not realizing that there are a slew of problems that need to be addressed.

As I said before, as much as I agree with what Hall and Rogers have said, I don't think they bring much credibility due to their own poor play this season.

I don't hate anyone/anything.

I wouldn't be pals with Jerry Jones though. We all know the problems that causes.

Hell, the man doesn't even carry money with him to buy drinks, what good is he?

Someone said earlier that Rinehart and Heyer are "no worse than average" at their positions of RG and RT.


Excuse me, but that means that these guys could start for 15 teams in the NFL.


I - - don't - - think - - so!


If these guys are "no worse than average" then the Skins have the core of their new OL already in place and they don't need to worry about drafting any next year.


Good luck with that strategy...

You see this is why there's a dearth of talent across the league. You simply can't have over 100 teams...
