Re: Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

If they keep playing Landry 40 yards behind the line of scrimmage I am going to freak out!

Amen, one of my biggest gripes with the Grilliams/Blache regime. You draft safeties in the top 10 and then play them 20 yards from the ball. Idiocy.

As for Hall, he did what he excels at, playing off of the man, reacting to the ball in zone/combo coverage, well. That's what allows him to be in position to make plays on the ball like he did today. He struggles in press man, back to the QB stuff, as he did in Oakland. He completely whiffed on the Smith jam in the 4th quarter which is why he got beat. His attempt at a tackle on the Manningham TD was only slightly less pathetic than Smoot's attempt. I'm nowhere close to writing Hall off, he's going to give up plays, but he's going to make them too.

Re: Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

My main beef with Hall is that he suffers from Deion Sanders syndrome, that is he will not throw his body into a tackle. He's not physical. His coverage is also suspect, but the main problem is his tackling which has the air of "Olay!" about it. To wit: the Manningham TD.

^^If Smoot could tackle, Manningham would not even have had a first down, much less a touchdown.

I don't know if you heard it during the game but Aikman and Buck gave Smoot a pass but not Hall. According to them it was inexcusable to not be able to make an easy tackle by Hall.

Yeah, I heard that. Hall's miss was inexcusable. But so was Smoot's.

Re: Another Vinny Special: Deangelo Hall

A. Deangelo Hall

B. Fred Smoot

C. Deion Sanders

I agree he wiffed and fell on his face. But he also was 5 yards off the line.
