Re: 3 Time Probowler DeAngelo Hall ?
I have great memories of D. Hall from when I was in Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA. watching him take a punt return to the house in blowout win over Syracuse. Or the many times I watched him bait qb's into throwing his way & then picking it off.
But behind the scenes he was rumored to be a problem in college, and in the nfl his rep quickly became that of talented, but self-centered, bad teamate.
It does seem as if he's trying to rebuild his game & image. I was not for signing him, but if he plays up to his talent level & is cool w/his teamates & coaches, the guy is about as good as any cb. Plus, he has a nose for the ball & is dangerous once he gets it.
If he plays disciplined, Rogers & the other cb's will be seeing a lot more of the ball, and on occassion he'll make qb's pay for going his way. Let's hope he plays w/discipline & doesn't gamble every other play.
Now that he's here I'm really rooting for him & hoping he can become a long-term skin. Let this guy return some punts too!
