Where does D. Hall rate as a CB for the Redskins all time?

Who played opposite of Darrel Green in the 80s and early 90s Superbowl teams. Does anyone remember without looking it up? I cannot.

Yes. Yes I can. Why do you ask?

Well Green played a lot of years, so there was more than one corner playing opposite him.

I'm pretty sure it was Vernon Dean (San Diego State) that played opposite Green.

And Anthony Washington...and Brian Davis...and Martin Mayhew...and AJ Johnson...and Tom Carter...

Currently with what's available to us. Yes.


I wouldn't be surprised if CB isn't a issue addressed next draft in the higher rounds.

My prediction is Hall will be gone next season, he will be asked to restructure his contract. I just don't see him having an extraordinary year.

And Anthony Washington...and Brian Davis...and Martin Mayhew...and AJ Johnson...and Tom Carter...

Didn't Barry Wilburn also play across from D.Green?

Didn't Barry Wilburn also play across from D.Green?

Yup

Gtripp, I agree with u that both Wilson and hall having similar playing styles-- which can create problems when opposing offenses attack deep because theres only one free safety that can help over top. But I still think that there's a chance that this defense can be successful despite that. There needed to be changes from the bend but don't break philosophy of past redskins d to hasletts philosophy. And part of that was letting go players like Rogers.

And the play with Evans burning hall- hall still had good coverage on Evans. It was just a problem because if hall knew he wasn't going to have safety help - he NEEDS to jam the receiver at the line.Well, we certainly expect to improve our run defense over last year, given acceptable linebacker play, and Ryan Kerrigan gives a second legitimate pass rushing threat. So it's not all bad. Haslett's philosophy is that getting pressure on the quarterback can lead to big time plays if you have the right guys on the field.

Are Josh Wilson, DeAngelo Hall, OJ Atogwe, and LaRon Landry the right guys to have on the field? Well, if the pass pressure takes as long to get home as it did last year, there's not much range out there and every one of them is a hard biter on double moves. Plus, those shorter passes are going to be there regardless of the down.

Basically, I think the defense has to excel on first and second down so that this group can drive on routes in third and long. A big problem last year was that we weren't good in standard downs, not to mention passing downs. We're still not going to be very good on passing downs. However, the longer the opponent has to go, the better Wilson, Hall, and Atogwe will look out there in coverage.

Can we stop a 3rd & 4 with those guys on the outside? Probably not against most opponents.

The Redskins have no schematic solution if teams want to spread them out and isolate poorer cover players. And with the Patriots, Cardinals, Bills, Rams, Seahawks, and Eagles on the schedule, I think the pass D could be in for a long year compared to the run D.

Cant wait for the haters to be exposed.

Ill make sure a revive this thread at Week 9.

I think D hall has some good, bad and ugly to him.

Good in that he takes chances trying to jump routes, bad in that it leads to him being burnt on double moves, etc. Good in that he will try and bait QBs into throwing his way so he can step in front but bad in that he will play off the guy and give up more receptions than if he just tried to blanket the reciever.

Even his attitude is a double sided coin to me. Good in that i think he gives it his all for the B&G, but bad in that he causes unnecessary trouble and extra stuff on the field.

He is what he is to me, love him when he takes one for 6, hate it when he gives up 6+ receptions in a game trying to get that one pick 6.
