Agree with both. Tryon shouldn't have made it out of camp. Before signing anything, I hope that Blache has a heart to heart with Hall and his agent making it clear that Hall's antics and me first attitude will not be tolerated in this locker room.
wonder if Blache has heart to hearts? and how quickly they turn into backhand to craniums?

The Pats or the Cowgirls will probably get him anyway. He would be a PERFECT Cowgirl. More hype than substance self-promoting underachiever.

Hall and Smoot on the field together? Oh god, we'd never stop anyone.
I don't see how DeAngelo Hall fixes the problem of Shawn Springs' health. If (hypothetically), the problem with the pass defense is that Shawn Springs is critical for the success of the unit, signing a guy who can't hold his jock doesn't change anything.
Now, do we need more corner depth? We are at a point with Springs out where we are trying to matchup with linebackers against slot receivers, so another slot corner could help this team at the right price. But since the right price is 7 games at vet minimum, DeAngelo Hall is probably not the guy we want.

Also, I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but HE WAS CUT BY THE RAIDERS. THERE ARE PLAYERS ON THE RAIDERS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE STARTED ON MY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.

Gtripp, he had the option to stay in Oakland and got out. Other players have done this. Hes definitely more of a cover two type corner who can be aggressive but not great in straight man to man. The way we play Landry may allow us to cover up his faults and use his strengths.

what's the worst that can happen, we keep him on the bench?

:lol: I'm sure when the Raiders signed him to that huge contract they had high hopes for him just like alot of guys on this board. Think about it, Asmugha on one side, Hall on the other. AWESOME! The problem was, Asmugha held his own but Hall did'nt. Basically teams stopped throwing to Asmugha's side of the field and ate Hall up. They decided to cut Hall and take his money, probably in the hope of getting Asmugha to resign. They would rather sign him to a long term contract then Franchise Tag him. But the point is, half of the "Dream Team' did'nt work out. As much as he was thrown at, he probably should of had triple the INT's he had. I don't make the decisions so it does'nt matter what I think. If we sign him and he works out great! I just hope we don't make a stupid mistake with some kind of ignorant type of contract like we've done in the past that's all.

Huh? Hall will move ahead of Torrence by his second week on the team. Agree on Tryon though.
4 is ahead of 5

I say go for it. With Springs missing multiple weeks even if Hall is a problem player for Redskins he's way better than Rogers, Smoot, Torrence and Tryon. Easily. If he comes to DC there will be a no-nonsense clause, but he wants to win. And he'll probably start quickly here if he's cool. You think Blache, Fletcher, Portis or Moss will put up with some bullshit? Hell no. He'll be signed by tomorrow. Somewhere.
