[quote=InsaneBoost;762349]Thanks to Jay Cutler who I think MOST of us can agree on is blah. Hall can't cover for shit. Sure he has good hands, but if he could cover he might actually have double what he has.[/quote]

Yes, but 6 picks are still a pretty big deal, especially since one of them was ran back for a TD and basically helped us in a big way win that game. I don't think Hall is Namdi or Revis, but I think that 73 tackles, 6 picks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovered, and 2 TDs make him a pretty good player this year. If our team could actually capitalize from those turnovers with TDs instead of FGs I think he'd probably be talked up a bit more.

Come on Hooskins, I understand your a Wahoo and it must be frustrating...where has that program gone? Just dont bring the hate to the Skins cause that program has made seriously bad decisions and while Tech has dominated the last 15 years in the Va area...

Cheap and available is a good way to put it. Maybe Macho spent some time recently at a Parisi Speed School.

I'll agree on that, hell in the end he's the reason I got to see us beat Dallas for the first time at Fedex in person.

I was against the signing of D. Hall, but he has improved his image since he's been here & made some big plays. His game is more athletic than fundamental, he gambles & he gives up a lot of plays, definitely not a shut down cb. This year though, he basically has won us 2 games. I also thought he did a pretty good job on Moss considering the safety help. It looked like he used his help wisely for a change.

Other than the Maclin td, which was a great play by Maclin, I can't think of him getting beat deep 1 on 1 this year.

So what your saying is that UVA has better talent but they suck as a team and in coaching. I thought the goal was to actual win games and not how many players you can recruit to make the HOF. I guess with the pedestal that UVA fans think they sit on that might make sense. No I'm not talking about every UVA student. Just the 9 out of 10 I have met.

Our local news paper had a story about the two QB's drafted in 2007. One by UVA and the other by VT. If your HOOSKINS this will be a tough article for you to read.

That's right we do play UVA this weekend, no wonder they are up at arms.

Funny I posted this and realized this was not a thread about UVA and VT but about Macho Harris.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

As seen by my user name, I'm biased to VT. When I watched him at VT he was pretty dang good. He was a kick returner at Tech, but I think Banks has him beat there. Hopefully he'll be a solid back-up corner or a safety.

[quote=InsaneBoost;762344]Okay okay, MAYBE he's not a bum, but he's not something to talk about.[/quote]


If you are talking about DeAngelo Hall you are clueless.

He has been playing corner at an All-Pro level this year.

Dallas, he had the single most important play.
Eagles, was part of the sandwich that put out the guy who could have beat us that day.
Bears game. Won singlehandedly.

His tacking has been excellent and before last week he was leading the NFL in interceptions (may still be).

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Heard him give an interview today on the Kevin Sheehan show this afternoon. He sounded...good!
Hopefully he's a keeper

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Ok so we move Davis from the PS to the Active Roster. We sign Macho, Macho, Man Harris.

We have signed Jacob Bender OG. Not sure if he's PS or not.

We signed RB Andre Brown

Anyone else? I thought there was another RB signed? Cause Portis is on IR now and all we have healthy is K.Williams, Davis, Brown.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Oh they signed RB Kestahn Moore

I have always heard UVA fans say that the reason that VT can get better players is because their academic standards are set lower. So I guess your saying that's not really the case. That blows every arguement I have heard from UVA fans out the window.

VT 14 UVA 0 with 1:11 left in the first.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

For the near future at least, Hokies will be better than the Cavs. Cavs fans don't really care since they leave every game after the first quarter.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Vt 24 uva 0 But hey UVA has a player in the HOF.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

VT 31 UVA 0

VT is now just running right over UVA.

We don't need to keep updating the score FD. Virginia already knows who's boss when they play VT. It's not even fair at this point. This game is locked up.

Yes, during the George Welsh years we were consistently good. One season in the early '90's we went undefeated deep into the year and were in national championship talk. Of course in classic Cavalier fashion we choked down the stretch and lost out on the national championship.

That said, usually we are not all that good although sometimes we are not bad.

During my freshman year at UVa (1980), Playboy magazine ranked us as the worst team in the country and may have been correct in doing so.

As a UVA grad you should know better then using the word "undefeated" and "lost" in the same paragraph. LOL
