D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs

I don't think this is that big of a deal, but you know this is the type of story the media loves, so here I am lol. Some people might not agree with me on this, but I don't think the problem is that Hall would be targeting Romo's ribs, the problem is that he said he's going to target his ribs. It would be pretty naive to think players don't target injured opposing players on the field, everybody knows that's not anything new. It's just that coming out and saying it makes people think, oh he's a dirty player, or oh he shouldn't have said that, etc. This is just news because this is the type of story the media loves to run with. Either way I don't think this is cause for concern, because an injury is a weakness, and teams/players target weaknesses all day every day. I'd be suprised if they weren't aiming for his ribs every time he got hit.

Couple of former players here have said it was kind of a dumb thing to say...because that's bulletin board material

But hey...another thread to hate on D. Hall! Yay!!!!!

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

This d-bag needs to keep his thoughts to himself. Why on earth would you go out of your way to give a team bulletin board material? D-hall should know better.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

here we go again SMH.. The Hall haters will be out

I don't think he should've said it, but then again D.Hall has never been known for keeping his mouth shut. It should be common knowledge that everybody does it, but it takes a special kind of player to come out and say they're going to do it. And I don't mean special in a good kind of way. Either way, I won't care as long as D.Hall keeps playing good ball. Other than Fitzy's td reception he's played a good couple games so far.

But yes, you are right, this is going to turn into another thread that hates on D.Hall. I'd apologize for that but I knew what I was getting into when I started this lol. Who knows, maybe D.Hall plays the greatest game of his life on Monday night and everybody forgets about this. Probably not though.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

Sometimes Hall just can't help himself. Just worry about covering Dez Bryant and keep your mouth shut.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

After the iggles MNF last year Hall and Landry and everyone else needs to shut up, and just go out and do their job. Also now, if he does get a chance and take a shot, is it going to get harder league attention? bonehead.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

I think Reed Doughty put this out there to get the heat off him.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

If Romo plays then he makes himself open game. Personally, I don't think it will serve as bulletin board material. Every NFL player knows if you step on the field then any known injuries are going to be targeted. This isn't an easy game folks.....

I'm sure they'd be doing the same thing is Rexy had busted ribs.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

It's part of the game, we know it, they know it..everyone knows it. If you dont want to get hurt don't play.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs

Don't you mean Holley or Ogletree. :D

I mentioned this before but right now Dez Bryant is questionable and Miles Austin is doubtful based on Adam S's report this morning.

Forget bulltien board material. This is just flat out classless. It's one thing to declare that you're going to be physical it's a whole other thing to say you're going to target injured body parts. This is also why hockey doesn't require teams to release specific injury reports.

[quote]"Absolutely. I want to get a chance to put my helmet on whatever's hurt," Hall said. "Romo's ribs -- I'm going to be asking for some corner blitzes. If I know Felix Jones' shoulder's hurt, I'm not going to cut him. I'm definitely going to try to hit him up high, so that's just part of it.

"If you know something's wrong with an opponent, you're going to try to target in on that. We're going to try to definitely get as many hits on that team as possible."[/quote]

We miss the rivalry's passion but hate the passionate type of statements that made the rivalry great? Dude grew up here and HATES the Cowboys. @$&* DALLAS!

D. Hall I like his swagger.

classless? It may appear that way to people that never played

It happens at all levels of football.. does a boxer stop hitting a swollen eye?

If he was returning from a concussion and Hall said he'd bounce his head off of the turf that would be classless.. otherwise he did what every defensive player has always done

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

I like the way Hall has played so far this year and honestly i think we should target Romo's ribs, but like everyone else for him to say it is absolutely retarded.

Id like to see Shanahan bench him for the start of the game, Bill Belichick style. We may be thin at corner but i think it would be worth the risk to teach Hall and the team valuable lessons. Dont put yourself above the team with your media comments and give the opposing team stuff to feed on. Keep your ego in check

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

The refs are going to be on edge.......big time.
I predict a scrum or two in this game.

yeah that's prob the thing Hall shouldn't have said.. that there would be some post-whistle fighting.. we know Hall is no stranger to that and it will be important not to get stupid penalties. But don't forget who was hungry last year and gave us a large portion of the win at home.

You do realize you're talking to a former teammate of the leagues greatest QB in Charlie Whitehurst right?

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

shoulda probably not said it. everyone on our defense and every defense the cowboys will play for the rest of the year will be aiming to put a helmet in his ribs. really a non story imo, guess cause d hall said it makes the it more of a headline. whatever, moving on.

i hope orakpo literally knocks romo's head off his shoulders and it rolls in the helmet landing in the middle of the star. eff Romo and that bullsh*t overrated team

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

facepalm :doh: just play the game...

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

I liked it. Make Romo look around the corner at all times. Get into his head... I would of said the same thing.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

Fck Romo and the Cowboys! I want to bury them!

Being his halftime stylist doesn't count!

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

what a freakin re-tard.Theyre already going to be quick to flag us for even getting near romo,this doesnt help any.Whether you like it or not,It is my opinion that the NFL believes romo is close in stature to Tom Brady and the commish will put the word in to the refs to protect him

Fool. Such great hair styles itself.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

It shouldn't matter who's out there or what condition they're in, if you're wearing the wrong jersey (Anything but Redskins) then you're a target for TSA style pat-down.

Help Romo up so you can put him back on his arse sooner, D!

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

Just make plays D hall

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

I have no problem with what he said, I just wished he didnt' say it to the media. No need to fire up the oppenents prior to kickoff. I think Shanny needs to put a leash on D. Hall pronto (especially after all his barking he did last year).

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

The real news here is that D. Hall claims he's planning to hit somebody on a football field. That would be a first if he actually does it. I wouldn't worry too much if I were Tony Romo.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

That is exactly why D-Hall is who he is ... and he's a better player now than he has ever been .. since he's joined the Skins' he has become better each season and is officially one of the best corners in the league & looks like he has bulked up quite a bit ... I freaking love the trash talk more than normal for one reason ... this aint the eagles nightmare last year ... this aint some BS trash talk .. this is a TEAM that is pissed off and is showing that hatred for the Cowboys .. stand behind your boy D-Hall ... I hope he knocks the shit out of Romo .. HTTMFR

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

I actually love that Hall said what he said. I know it will piss off the opponant and give them something to be mad about but I look at it this way. Dallas is trying to milk this whole Romo will, Romo might not play game they have been playing. Obviously it is smart on their part to keep the Skins guessing even though personally I can't imagine them sending their #1 QB out to get beat up more during a divisional game that always has hard hits. Hall is just playing their game..... if he plays we will target his injured ribs. Kinda makes the Cowboys think twice about sending him out and possibly getting hurt worse.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

Say what you want inside the locker room. Once you leave it, just shut up and play.

Playmaking corner? He's right up there at the top. Cover corner? He's below average.

Re: D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs
 

D Hall's strip and touchdown to end that half was one of the plays of the year which came against the evil establishment on national tv.

People seem to have short memories round here when it comes to praise, but long memories when it come to hatt.
