DeAngelo Hall: "We'll dominate our division"

[GusFrerotte]

Me either. IF the line is decent they should do well. It should be fun to watch!!!!!!!!!

[skinsfaninok]

Well maybe we sign TO maybe not, maybe Mitchell actually plays this season. Honestly mcnabb has always been solid with out star wr's. I'm not too worried especially considering we have a great pair of TE's!!

When he can tackle Delhomme (or any RB) one-on-one then maybe we can open a discussion on where he stands regarding top-10 CBs. Until then....not so much.

Maybe he expects the line or lb's to get to a running QB.. idk

This. For me hearing Shanahan talk about goals, saying it's a difficult path and takes a little luck, is a lot better than a hot air piece by a guy who whiffs on a qb that would seal a game. I like D Hall's ball skills, but leave the dominate the division talk alone until you prove it on a field. (we went 0-6 in division last year, dominating is nice but let's strive for competitive first!)

Well said.

Let's just hope D-Hall takes advantage of this new defense, and gets some INTs/turnovers

Asking a player how his team will do is like asking a bicycle if it's rider will win the Tour De France.

sorry but we're not going to dominate the division. we didn't win one game in the division and the only team that we might be better than is Philly. what a stupid comment. hall is an idiot, always has been and always will be. but he is our best playmaker in the secondary so hopefully he'll benefit from the new scheme. and hopefully haslett will teach hall how to tackle.

So you'd rather he say that we suck or something?

I'd rather he say "We are much improved and I'm confident we will have a better product on the field this year than we did last year. Players are really taking to the scheme and are excited by the invigorated spirit that the new coaching staff has brought to Redskins Park. I'm very optimistic about this upcoming season b/c I know what the talent in our locker room is capable of. If we play like we should, I think the sky is the limit for this team."

You can be optimistic and confident without sounding like a cocky, antagonistic, uber-douche

just say.. " i like our new schemes and w/ the addition of mcnabb hopefully that will help us get more wins inside the division"....something like that. when you're 4-12 and you tackle like a girl no need to say silly ass stuff. i'm glad he's confident but there's a difference between confidence and ignorance.

Well since Hall is my favorite Skin I must interject here.

Halls comment to me was refreshing. It shows that there is finally something there that is exciting the players. "We are going to dominate the division" is not something you say in the NFC East especially if your a Redskin of the last decade (or more) unless there is a renewed spirit and level of dedication starting with the organization and reaching the team as a whole.

As far as Hall always being a idiot. I don't see that at all. And his positive comment does not reflect that of an idiot. I can see if he said the Skins will try but in the end we will be the same old broken team. But he's excited about the new scheme as he should be.

As far as his tackling, well he does need improvement here but so does the team as a whole.

As long as Hall disrupts the backfield and comes up with INT's as he does and will. I'll be happy with that. I would hope that he is not in the position to have to tackle a break away RB as often as he has been.

He has the right attitude and is a playmaker. I'm glad he's a Redskin and hope his enthusiasm is contagious.
