Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Ravens)

D.Hall is a gambling CB. He will make some big plays and on occasion he will get beat. Its the nature of the NFL. I know if Hall gets the ball in his hands he has a chance to score.

When your defense can score, its HUGE. Hall getting picks is great, but being able to return those kicks is an added ability. Game changer

You know what else is a game-changer? giving up TDs to the opposing offense because you're more busy looking to score on defense than play good defense. I would much rather DHall focus more on coverage and less on TDs. Asomugha, Revis, Sharper, etc. are great CBs because they take the opposing WR out of the game, not because they score touchdowns.

Honestly that TD he gave up was a great throw and catch. Sometimes the other team just steps up and makes great plays, doesn't mean our guy is a bum. Hall had him covered well, he just got beat. Happens.

I actually wasn't thinking of the pass to Lee Evans -- Flacco put that in a bucket and most of the guys on this board could have made that catch with Hall covering. My problem is with the two long plays he gave up to Boldin where he was squatting on the route and allowed Boldin to get wide open coming across the field.

Yeah, I hate to sound cliche but it is preseason and that shit's just going to happen. At the end of the day, save three or four corners in the entire NFL, give me D.Hall any day of the week.

Hall is what he is, a player that takes risks....sometimes he wins, sometime he loses. TBH I'd like to see a more complete player, if I were coaching him I would do so accordingly.

Hall is a stud Idc what anyone one says, he's a ball hawk

I don't agree. I think Hall is a great tackler, and he forces a lot of fumbles going for the ball in certain situations. He basically won the game for us against Dallas, and Chicago last year.

How many CB's can say that?

Hall is a sub-par tackler at best, piss-poor at worst. Remember the "Delhomme" incident

EDIT: see 53Fan's post

That wasn't Vick, V. Young, Big Ben, Steve Young......it was JAKE DELHOMME.

That was one situation. It's like me saying that Cofield is weak b/c Ricky Williams knocked him down at the Ravens game. I do think is a bit ridiculous to call him a great tackler, but I wouldn't sub-par either. In 2010 he had 95 tackles, that was 3rd in the team behind London and Rocky.

That was more of an indictment of our terrible DL in 2010 rather than a display of Hall's superior tackling.

And I never said he was a superior tackler, but I would imagine that you can't be a piss poor tackler and be third in tackles on any team.

I've watch D. Hall since HS and a great tackler he's not.
