If he goes, I won't miss his unwillingness to hit anybody, his ill-timed gambling, his inability to cover top receivers when it counts the most, and his big mouth.

i think he improved his tackling a bunch last year, and he even holds his own against top receivers. my biggest thing with him is his gambling like you said, it pays off sometimes and sometimes it does the opposite. If he can control that along with talking so much, which he has def improved on, hes good and worth keeping around for us, we dont have any other better options.

My counterpoints:

My Point is not that he is a poor tackler but that he actively avoids tackling. He doesn't want to hit anyone. I can't stand that. Case in point: Rob Gronkowski.

His inability to cover top receivers at key times is best illustrated by his letting Dez Bryant beat him on something like 4th and 35 at the end of the last Dallas game.

Everything you said about DeAngelo Hall is absolutely correct. I'm rough on Hall most of the time, but he's the best cornerback on the roster. Hall had a bad year last year. With a new position coach, I look for tons of improvement from Hall this coming season.

This is an excellent point

Yeah, but remember that some of the things Hall did bad last season wouldn't be changed from a simple coaching change. Hall did things last year that were pee wee football fundamentals, things that either you can do it or you can't.
