I'll agree with the Smoot comment. I'll even partially agree with the Hall comment...

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).

but atleast if he is going to sit off the WR and bait the QB he's trying for the interception. Hopefully they have someone over top to assist if he misses and the WR gets the ball. As for Smoot he used to be that way now he gives the cushion and waits for the WR to catch the ball and then tries to throw his body at the guy ...not trying to wrap up. How many times has he missed a tackle cause the RB side stepped the lunge or leaped over him?
