He doesn't ever really make a play though, as much as plays seem to come to him. When he's up against a bad opponent, Hall's technique of severe trail coverage means he's in position to take really ill-advised throws by the quarterback and turn them into big defensive plays. That's something.

Problem with that is that it inherently relies on mistakes by the opponent to become big plays by the defense. If you're going to be a winning team, you shouldn't be in close games against teams that employ Josh Johnson, and Jake Delhomme (and Chris Simms). The fact that the Redskins were is in no way Hall's fault, but any quarterback worth his salt just takes advantage of Hall's complete lack of route recognition ability.

Look at the opponents on his interceptions (26 career).

His aggragate numbers are mediocre, but he has astounding splits between great passing offenses and weak ones. That just suggests that he'll make the plays that come to him, but he's not a playmaker. And that's not worth tens of millions of dollars.
