[quote=bigm29;498465]Dont like it either. Deangello Hall is not a good player and he does not have good character. There is not one elite reciever in this league he can cover. Remember week 2 when he got torched by rookie Eddie Royal. If he is not even good enough to play on fuckin Oakland then he is not good enough to play for us.[/quote]


I have to agree with the Goat BigM. We need depth ASAP. We have an ailing DB in Springs and now Smoot. THe other guys are young and not up to the task. We need a guy that can actually catch an interception that is thrown to him. How many "easy" should have, could have picks has Rogers dropped this season? What like 5-6? To win some of these games coming up we will need to have 2-3 more possesions than our opponents probably in order to win it.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

Yeah, this guy can get you some interceptions etc. but don't forget that can be counter act that by the stupid personal fouls that he commits to kill you at critical times. I say sign him, use him strictly as punt /kickoff returner and in nickle packages.

[quote=diehardskin2982;498428]great deal especially when we face the Cowboys! Don't get it twisted its the Randy Moss Scenario once he comes here, he's gonna be ballin![/quote]
I am so excited about this. Its like getting a free 1st round draft choice. I think they may cut Springs, next year or maybe now. Spring is great when healthy, but he is always hurt.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

I like it .. what really is the worst it could happen .. we need to hang onto some picks .. if so the giants and steelers game may have came out different .. i agree with the statement of Blache won't let this loudmouth be to crazy .. plus we are "making a run" this year like it or not ... let's roll the dice .. i'd rather have him on our side then throw against him vs Dallas.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

We don't have him yet fellas.

[quote=GusFrerotte;498466]The positive turnover ratio is a must to have for winning teams also. My uncle is Earle Bruce the ex Ohio State coach from 1979-87. While he always did have a solid defense, most of them were like 3rd-5th in the Big 10 in yapg. What made them great, was they always were #1 at takeaways. Hard not to win games if you have a great offense and get the ball a few extra times a game. Our offense is anemic as of late, even if we do gain a lot of ypg, since it is points we are after. I say sign him for the rest of the season. He should be a good boy as he should know his career is on the line, and if we don't get any positive results or he is an ass, drop him.[/quote]

Your uncle is Earl Bruce and you live in Michigan? What was that like on game day for you when Ohio State played Michigan?

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;498440]So who would play dimeback? Smoot or Hall? I'm torn. [B] He could either wreck team chemistry[/B] or give us a young, talented corner at a low price.[/quote]

I think this is overblown. Our locker room is among the best, if not THE best in football. One man isn't gonna wreck it. Imagine what London Fletcher would do to him if he tried acting a fool? Or Blache for that matter? Hall is in a touchy spot as far as his career is concerned. If he doesn't want to fade into oblivion he'll straighten up. He's only 24 too. If he shuts his mouth and plays ball we could have a sick corner tandem for years.

He's from Chesapeake, VA, so he's relatively local, plus according to his agent he want to play for a winner. Hall also came out and said he likes our defensive scheme. We have a way of making sure we get a guy when we want him.

I hope it doesn't involve giving him very much money.

I can live with picking him up on a cheap one year deal. Let him come in and prove himself on the field and in the locker room. I have serious doubts as to whether he pull it off, but if he proves me wrong I'll gladly eat that crow.

So we are for sure getting him? Cause I heard other teams were still contacting him.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

At this point Hall is only a slight upgrade over Torrence. If Hall is signed he will be our #4 CB, Torrence will be #5 and Tryon will likely be cut.

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

[quote=The Goat;498534]Huh? Hall will move ahead of Torrence by his second week on the team. Agree on Tryon though.[/quote]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.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

I don't like this move. Hall may be an upgrade over Torrence and Tryon but I don't like his character at all. Not to mention he is a horrible cover corner too, the only aspect of his game that I do like is that he gets turnovers, and that's not exactly a compliment because he still doesn't get as many turnovers as some of the better corners in the league.

According to Redskins Insider, Hall is willing to accept a short term deal. I say a prorated 2 year (7 games this season and next season), with limited guaranteed money, but nice escalator clauses if he stays in line and plays well.

I'm not sure what other teams are offering, but I doubt we'd get him if we only offered him a contract for the last 7 games.

I agree with you, Matty. The cost has to be reasonably cheap. I'll say it again, he's shown what he's capable of when his head is right, and he's only 24.

wonder if Blache has heart to hearts? and how quickly they turn into backhand to craniums?

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

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

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

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.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

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.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

^ yea ok TRIPP.

: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.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

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.

Also, if you watched NFL Total Access at all or read into WHY DeAngelo Hall was cut by the Raider's, you might have thought twice about such a dumb statement. Adam Schefter, heck even Deion Sanders, said that it was strictly a buisness decision.

I cannot speak for him, but I have a feeling that he wants to be here.

On a side note, I am not trying to bring up old stuff, but I was against bringing Jason Taylor here. Up to this point it seems as if my gut feeling on JT was correct. Well, my gut feels good about the possibility of bringing in Hall. I agree that we shouldn't dump Snyders estate on him, but I feel that bringing him for a season or 2 to prove himself is a good idea. I am not a psychic, but I can see this working out well for both sides.

[quote=jamf;498425]Hmmm, Good idea!!!

Probably Kelly to IR

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

I don't see what the true harm is, other than this and Alexander lends to the perception of "here we go again" with other teams' cast-offs. Though, to be fair, both are relatively low risk moves.

Also, and it may have been mentioned in this thread already, he might step in right away as an improvement over ARE on punt returns

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

We neeed corner help for Roy Williams. If he acts up cut him. Springs stay hurt too much we need a big time corner.

re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours
 

I think the most benefit has got to be punt returns. We all know that any option there would be welcome.
