Josh Wilson played under the same conditions yet did not give up the yardage that DHall did.

But Josh Wilson wasnt being put one on one with TJax when we had a slim lead late in the game. Also Josh Wilsons strength is positioning. He is great at using the positioning of the safety to determine where he should be. He is not a man on man guy. He had more over the top help than DHall. Not like either had much over the top help, but Wilson had more of it.

PS.. Im not defending Hall, im glad he is gone based on what we were paying him. I am just not into every single stat that someone can claim has relevance. Remember RG3 is too short and small to be a good QB in the NFL and should have been a WR... According to some of these idiotic stats.

But if its cover zero man to man and the corner gets beat... It's the corner. It's why I trust pro football focus more than other websites in ranking their positions.

What if its cover 1 and the safety goes left instead of right when he was assigned to double to the right? PFF doesnt know the play call so has no clue they are rating it wrong, and just say the safety was assigned to the left and the CB on the right therefore had no choice but to be in straight man to man. Its a page view stat at best.

Hall's release is purely economical and it makes sense (it is not the end of the world as some people put it). We can find similar/better talent for a better price that fits our needs. Personally, I hope we have a young CB that can become a starter for years to come, rather than having 1 to 2 year band aids.

Too bad Pollard is more of a SS than a FS, otherwise I'd take him in a heartbeat. Dude is a beast.

Looks like you stole your line from PFT but got it wrong. Oops!

probably some 10 year old with nothing to do but correct people all day.

[skinsfan69]

The Ravens defense seemed pretty average last year and that's probably playing into why they're letting some guys go. Ozzie knows what he's doing. He's not going to overpay for guys that's aren't elite players.

Those DB stats really don't mean much cause there's so many factors that play into it. I didn't see Wilson covering Dez Bryant when the game was on the line. Both guys have their issues, but I liked the way Hall played down the stretch last season.
