D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs

Swarley · 09-22-2011, 01:00 AM

If this defense is for real than this is something that'll inspire them, nothing wrong with it if we come to play ball and don't pull a Philly.

CultBrennan59 · 09-22-2011, 01:10 AM

I don't know what to believe.

I could easily see this being a media trick for this game to make the Skins guess as to who's going to play QB, And/or make us want to bring more pressure which is what they want to expose maybe? I don't know for some reason part of me really thinks he's hurt, another part of me thinks that he just has a bruised rib that they said was broken and punctured to make Romo look more tough and better and respectable (because of his dumb game against the jets) and that this whole thing is just to make us think.

I'm starting to confuse myself.

dont know if this was posted already but...

RT @calvinwatkins Tony Romo said it hurts to breathe and laugh. He also has to sleep in a chair.

Who cares. Stuff like this is said all over the league. Everyone on Dallas knows we are going to be trying to hit him in the ribs, Hall saying it doesn't really change the thoughts in their heads.

I like the way the team has kind of snuck around and been quite, not really saying much and just winning games. I would rather the players just be quite and play ball and just win games and let the play do the talking. But what Hall said is nothing the Cowboys didnt know all ready, so I dont think its really bulletin board material. Know if Laron said he was going to knock Wittens, or Bryants head off when they come across the middle, then that may be more material.

hope it is a big god d*** deal...whatever it takes to make this a heated rivalry again. i long for the days when redskin fans HATED the cowboys. remember when the skin went in to dallas, won, and coach allen ripped down the banner on the way out? you know what i say? screw romo, and the cowboys! and BSB welcome back...

Eloquence is your strong suit, sir. And I also long for those days. Hate is a good thing sometimes, and THIS is one of those times. Hail, sir, Hail.

Right, every single analyst on ESPN has the same exact opinion of Romo, thank you for paying attention.

And what exactly are you disagreeing with, because I essentially said if it's Skins vs. Cards it's not a big deal.

Swarley · 09-22-2011, 07:19 AM

If we go out on Monday night and smack Romo and his Cowboys team around, I'm pretty sure at least a few people are going to be talking about how D-Hall set the tone. It's not like he's making a guarantee that we're gonna win or anything like that and he's not putting our defense in a tough positions because everyone knows were gonna get after Romo (or Kitna).

Swarley · 09-22-2011, 07:25 AM

p.s. I want BBQ Ribs every time I read this thread.

Hightower's comments probably distracted the Cardinals' lockerroom more than the Redskins' lockerroom. The same will probably be the case with Hall's comments.

Monkeydad · 09-22-2011, 10:16 AM

I love this. It's how a rivalry should be.

What I do not hear anyone talking abouyt in the media...what question did the reporter ask? My bet is that they SPECIFICALLY asked about hitting Romo in the ribs and baited this response...but of course, only the response is replayed, never the question.

Regardless, I fully support him. I want our players to be targeting our rival's QB, ESPECIALLY when he's vulnerable.

Jerry Jones (we all know it's his decision here) will be stupid to let Romo even play against Hall, Orakpo, Kerrigan, Fletcher and a returning LaRon Landry!

I almost hope we DO see Romo on Monday night. Of course, that will be the last anyone sees of him for a while after Monday.

I also think this again shows evidence that the media, especially ESPN, love to target the Redskins negatively every chance they get. How could I say this, just because they're covering the manufactured "story" with Hall? Well, look what they're NOT covering 24/7...Albert Haynesworth taking plays off in New England. When he was with us, they covered what he was having for breakfast. When he plays for the beloved Patriots...Albert who?

The local Boston media is doing their job on him at least.

No, your wrong there, the media would have him on ever network to talk about how the Skins targeted him and the Cowboys would be pushing for a fine from the league in regards to Halls statement. Then we would see him each week talking about his recovery and what he's doing to try to get back on the field.

Jontrem · 09-22-2011, 10:21 AM

This is something most defensive NFL players do, Hall just spoke up about it.

I agree with the above that JJ should keep Romo out...but he won't since he rarely makes smart long term decisions.
