Did D. Hall Just Blast Zorn and the Inept Offense?

I think Blache is actually killing our pass rush by not allowing them to shoot gaps. Also, Zorn is a terrible playcaller who thinks he is a genius. From the looks of it our offense will continue to look like it did in 2004 with Gibbs.

I think that Zorn is both a terrible playcaller and a genius. He just overthinks things too much.

D. Hall was just on ESPN's First Take

- We made too many mistakes. Defensively, couldn't get off the field on 3rd down

- Won't take anything away from the Rams, they played hard

- I definitely felt the fans frustration. Any time you get a win in this league you take it. I can feel their frustration though. We should have put the game out of reach

- Still think we've got some of the best fans in the world. We need to give them something to cheer about

- One mistake could have cost us the game. When I slipped and fell, that one mistake could have cost us the game

- Henson is just a young guy, doesn't know what he's talking about (re: the fans). Chalk it up to immaturity

- Liked the decision to go for it on 4th and 1 at the 2. Not getting in the end zone is inexcusable (I think that's what he said)

- Lions are a dangerous team. We're a 1-1 team going to play an 0-2 team. We can't worry about last year. Last year doesn't matter

No problem with any of Hall's comments. He's saying the right things

Thanks for the rundown SS.

I agree with the Slingin' one. DHall is saying the right things.

I don't see one thing wrong with what he said. In fact, I think he said it very well.

[BleedBurgundy]

yeah, he sounds more like a leader than the petulant twat down in ATL.

[Pocket$ $traight]

If he did, it is warranted.

Zorn better watch it because based on comments from Hall, Cooley, Portis & Moss, I see a fractured locker room a couple of bad losses away.

The players cannot even enjoy a victory anymore.

[SC Skins Fan]

Well Hall is the weakest link on the defense and a below average NFL corner so maybe he should leave the "leadership" to guys with true NFL bona fides like London Fletcher. The play against Robinson that he mentions was embarrassing and he looked like he was on skates. But it is not like that was the first, or will be the last, time Hall gets smoked this season.

[KI Skins Fan]

I don't like it when a defensive player says anything that can be remotely construed as negative about the offense and vice versa. It's just not a good idea to start down that path.

Having said that, I think that he showed the right attitude. I just hope that he and the other players will be careful not to inadvertently cause any locker room problems.

[GTripp0012]

Hall didn't say anything wrong here.

Like SC said, he's probably not the best messenger, but I don't think that this points to a divide in any way. The offense appears just as pissed that they didn't get in the end zone as well.

[T.O.Killa]

It sounds like he is saying that if you play on a team that has an offense that sucks, you must never make a mistake and give up no touch downs. This definitely sound like offense bashing and coach bashing.

I understand Zorn is supposed to be a head coach but I found it interesting listening to Arrington going off on how Zorn could not take constructive criticism from Sam Huff and even went so far as to say Zorn does not have a clue, especially when a Hall of Fame QB, which Zorn is not, stated he called the wrong play at the goal line and Sam would have changed the play call to one with a better percentage and Zorn said he would have benched him the rest of the game.

So basically JC does not have room to wiggle when calling plays.

I think it was Sonny.
