It would have to be someone who has yet to develop like Barnes, or someone we just acquired, like Meriweather. Otherwise, who on the defense is in the same league as Hall in terms of negative defensive value?

Well at varying points last year it would have been anyone who lined up at safety ( Doughty, Gomes, Atogwe) or McIntosh when he was in the game. Now, the same could be said for any of our projected safeties, any of our nickel corners.. Hall is an average cover corner with playmaking skills. He's not elite nor is he hot garbage.

At times, he's in fact not hot garbage, and even makes consecutive plays. But the season is too long, and he gets exposed every year.

I don't think its conclusive that Doughty plays defense worse than Hall does, but it's been a pretty fierce incompetence battle over the last two seasons.

There's something to say about a guy who is always near the tackle but never part of it.
