yeah i agree with the smoot comment, as much as we love the guy when hes in there teams target him with success. that being said we all knew smoot coming back was best suited for nickel back not a cover 1-on-1 corner.

about D hall, i really only see him as a step better than smoot but (call me crazy and you will) i think he plays off receivers trying to tempt qbs to throw his way which leads to some ints as well as completions. like he said in oakland, he was trying to jump routes too much (thats an "all about me" not a team thing).

i just really dont like d hall's mindset. that personal foul he got when he was beat then couldnt arm tackle the guy was zero class. it wasnt a hustle didnt hear the whistle play, it was a he got beat and made to look stupid so he dives after the play to get a piece of the guy play = not the redskins way of doing things and I was surprised he wasnt benched for the rest of the series.

the more i write this and think about it I really hope we dont rely on d hall as springs replacement. springs may not be the most loyal player but he is 100% professional compared to hall.
