uh oh!

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

If this story is true and they sign him, the first thing I tell him is: If he commits a stupid personal foul during a critical play his ass is gone!!

I've watched this guy commit personal fouls and cost his previous teams many times at critical moments.

The only good thing if he's signed, is that he could be used as a punt returner.

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

let the cowboys sign him and help run them further into the ground

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

I really have no problem with this. We need more INT. Dude already has 13 pass deflections and 3 INT on the year.

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

I heard Larry (Ms. Redskin) Michael on redskin nation pm. State he ask Vinny if they would contact Hall, and Vinny said no comment..?

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

So basically yes. I just read that about 15 other teams have contacted him.

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

I don't like it

Why not?

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

Personally I have no problem if it looks like Springs won't be back after the bye. But I do think shoring up the O line is more of an issue (again assuming Taylor is fit again after the bye).

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

he could be a hell of a punt/kick returner,and he did make the probowl 2 years ago.
look at it like an 3 month try out.i would sit him down and tell him not to be a smartass or play like one on the field.who knows?the last 2 seasons may have changed the kid?

oh hello dime package defense in madden! look out cowboys players!!! :)

Hmmm, Good idea!!!

If we sign him, who is getting cut?

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

tryon

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

Hall is a decent player. Showboat. But decent.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut and plays football... Welcome home! :)

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

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!

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

We're pretty set at corner so we have nothing to lose and the world to gain, And we keep him away from the cowboys. I say do it he has to be worried about running out of chances so I belive he'll behave.

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

in JZ I will trust as I do NOT see him OR Blache putting with any stupid sh...

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

I understand that he has character problems, but if you think about it Springs only plays a handful of games a year and really it wouldn't be such a bad problem to have with a healthy Springs, Rogers, Smoot, and Hall...

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

I heard that IF he gets injured that team that picked him up must pay his 16 million dollar injury guarantee bonuses.

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

See Pacman .... I mean Adam Jones.

Not true, he cleared waivers so he is now free to sign a new contract with any team.

I'm not sure I would go that far.

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

if he comes to washington his bs will end because he will be on a good team with great people. i think it will be a good move because of springs and his 10 hames a year. if they rotate them maybe we get more playing time out of springs

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

All I have heard this year is how great the team chemstry is - I wouldn't take any chances with messing that up. He's not a bad player when he's got his head on straight but if the Raiders considered him a cancer I wouldn't touch him.

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

Two shay Matty

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

So who would play dimeback? Smoot or Hall? I'm torn. He could either wreck team chemistry or give us a young, talented corner at a low price.

NO DECISION EXPECTED TONIGHT BY HALL
Posted by Mike Florio on November 6, 2008, 6:19 p.m. EST
As we hear it, several teams are actively pursuing cornerback DeAngelo Hall, now that he has cleared waivers and become an unrestricted free agent.

We’re told that Hall is talking to several teams, including high-level folks with more than one franchise. One source characterized it as a “frenzy” of activity.

Adam Schefter reports that the Giants, Redskins, Steelers, and Patriots are interested.

As we hear it, the Giants are out, but the Saints are in.

Hall is looking for the “best situation” for him. The factors that will drive this determination aren’t known.

Our guess is that it will be hard for him to get much more than the prorated league minimum salary, but if he can spark a bidding war, he might be able to squeeze out something better than that.

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

Doe's he have speed? Yes. Does he have talent? Yes. Is he a team player? No. Will he "suddenly" change because he came to the Redskins? That's the question is'nt it? Hall can win you games and he can lose you games with overconfidence or stupid penalties. I've seen it since he was in highschool and he has'nt changed yet. I guess if anybody can control him it would be Greg Blache. Our D'Backs are a close knit group. I wonder how they feel about this? If we sign him I hope I'm wrong, but I think he'll start out alright then become a problem.

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

Why does everyone think that we're "set" at the corner position? Springs is always hurt, Smoot is average and Carlos Rogers couldn't catch a cold! Hall may not be the answer, but he could help us tremendously... I believe we need a kick/punt returner too.

You don't solve the problem by bringing in an overrated egomaniac.

A rookie WR ripped him apart the first week of the year, Teams are targeting him so much that the other corner has only seen 13 passes thrown his way all year.

This is also the guy that self destructs if things dont go his way.

What bothers me most:
after a game a few years ago on monday night, He said he shut down terrell owens, Owens had 10 or so receptions and 120+ yards in the game. This guy is a headcase who thinks hes the second coming of deion.

but he is better than torrence...

Teams target him 'cause the "other" corner is Nnamdi Asomuagh (sp?) the best cover corner in the league.

I never said it would solve our problem, but it would help us.

I know he gets bonehead penalties, but so did Sean Taylor.

Is Hall overrated? yeah.
Is Hall better than Smoot, Torrence and Tryon? Hell yeah.

You did a great job of summing up my ambivalence. I don't want to add a cancer which messes with the chemistry. But, on the other hand, if he just needs a change of scenery like Randy Moss did, he could be a big help. The guy did make the Pro Bowl twice.

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

Damn, I want to say I don't like the deal, but like a fellow Skins fans said early on in the thread, we need a guy that can get some picks for us. Also like you guys have also stated Springs is just about worthless as he is injured way too often. If Hall can calm down and somehow become a team player we will be fine. To do that give him a league minimum or close to league minimum salary with an attitude clause. IF the guy can stay out of trouble, he would be worth the pick up for sure!!!!! In fact, it would be a steal!!!!!!

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

This is the perfect risk vs reward pickup. Another fine move by the boys in the FO.

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

I'd like to see us gain some depth at CB because Springs seems to have regressed this year in terms of reliability. Plus Smoot has been ailing and Torrence is not yet good enough to cover #2 receivers. But... I don't see this deal working out for us. Blache by all appearances is a totally no-nonsense personality and I imagine would blatantly tell Hall if he fucks up "this much" his ass is grass. Other franchises will give Hall a longer leash just based on his talent and he'll opt for one of those.

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

Could one of the salary cap specialists explain what we have to spend on Hall? Reason I ask is i thought after Jason Taylor we were at the ceiling.

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

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.

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

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.
