It's unfortunate but we are going to have to live with it. It's not in our hands and if the coaching staff had a problem with it he'd have been cut or traded.

I appreciate that Hall cares enough about his image to treat every pass in the preseason like it's the last of his career, that's one of the things I like about him. But I don't agree with you that when the games actually mean something, that DHall is going to suddenly become a good team player who doesn't do something dumb to hurt his team after things don't go his way on the field.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest that he's just treating this game as any other game. But that means he's obviously a risk to do something similar during the season. And even though his 15 yd penalty rate was down significantly in 2010 over the rest of his career, there's a long, long history here that says exactly that.
