I'm surprised by this. If he's a backup for depth or starter while Springs is out, I'm fine with it I guess. Hope he doesn't act up.



Hold on...have to change the radio station, Cowturd is coming on.

How about when Hall had the "Free Mike Vick" T-shirt on after Mike's trial and the Atlanta's coach quit. Sound individual.

Remember Chris Samuels also thought Vick shouldn't go to jail.

You should check out the Vinnie show as he will no doubt discuss it

Re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours

The number one mistake that bad organizations make is that they bring in poor coverage CBs because they have starting experience, and then in critical moments they decide to trust said CB because they have been there before. The end result is predictable.

DeAngelo Hall's career best YPA, which he's done twice (2005 and 2007), is 7.4. But his career average YPA through the last 3.5 years (I don't have his rookie numbers) is 8.0. As a passer, Tom Brady's career YPA is 7.2.

On the Redskins this year, Hall's career average of 8.0 yards per attempt puts him behind Fred Smoot and Leigh Torrence in terms of production.

Now, he's 24, and figures to at some point in his career, get a lot better. And ultimately, there is a right price for everyone. I'm just not sure that "Nickel back when Shawn Springs is hurt" is something that's worth signing a head case for, especially when you can already get the same production out of the guys on your team.

Now, if we're talking about signing this guy to be our future post-Springs No. 2 CB at a cheap price while the value is low, I think this is a completely different argument. But based on how similar our coverage schemes are to Oakland's, I think Hall makes us a significantly worse pass defense in the short-term. He's also afraid of contact, which is Smoot one big redeeming quality is that he'll throw his nose in there and hit someone.

Vinnie was just asked the Question. Both he and Larry sort of glossed over it and did not answer. It did not seem like they were in favor of that possibility of Hall joining the team

Re: Comcast: Redskins contact DeAngelo Hall, may have deal within 24 hours

The catch-22 to this whole thing is if Springs was healthy, there would be no talk of bringing Hall in at all.

One the one side, Hall has talent to be a good corner and a good returner. On the other side, he got a TO sized ego, and has been suffering in Oakland. The Skins have the veteran leadership (Fletcher, Springs, Taylor) to guide Hall to make better decisions on the field. If we're talking small change, contract worded as such that he can be rewarded for good behavior, I see this as a small risk for a great reward. Worst comes to worst, Tryon is cut or Kelly is IR'd and we cut Hall in 2-3 weeks.

Not saying I would like the signing, but I can understand it...
