DeAngelo Hall: "We'll dominate our division"

Halls comment to me was refreshing. It shows that there is finally something there that is exciting the players. "We are going to dominate the division" is not something you say in the NFC East especially if your a Redskin of the last decade (or more) unless there is a renewed spirit and level of dedication starting with the organization and reaching the team as a whole.

As far as Hall always being a idiot. I don't see that at all. And his positive comment does not reflect that of an idiot. I can see if he said the Skins will try but in the end we will be the same old broken team. But he's excited about the new scheme as he should be.

As far as his tackling, well he does need improvement here but so does the team as a whole.

As long as Hall disrupts the backfield and comes up with INT's as he does and will. I'll be happy with that. I would hope that he is not in the position to have to tackle a break away RB as often as he has been.

He has the right attitude and is a playmaker. I'm glad he's a Redskin and hope his enthusiasm is contagious.

I will agree with you there but I'm tired of him running his mouth. He was Mr. Goody Goody when he got here, he got paid and then started bitching when the losses piled up. To me Hall is a front runner, when things are going good he's all smiles but when things are down he's pointing fingers when he's a huge part of the problem. Just do it on the field, I don't need any stupid ass quotes in April.

I like his confidence and it's nice to hear that guys have confidence in our new coaches/systems.

To be fair, the season prior, we beat the Eagles twice and Dallas once. IF we can split the Giants, we ought to go atleast 3-3, possibly 4-2. We could easily beat Philly twice, if Zorn could do it Shanny and McNabb ought to have no problem, and Shanny already said he wants to beat Dallas badly, (probably just to jab JJ about not giving him leverage with DS LOL), so we need to whoop the Giants and then...

DOMINATION!

Someone has gotten into the off season Kool-Aid again. I swear they need to lock that sh** up. - - Look, it is in clearly marked containers. Please, please do not post within 30 minutes of consumption.

or, if you must post, please do it on ES (ba-zinga!).

There is plenty available at this time of year. I like the red the best. When I drink it, I see perfectly a 19-0 season, where our offense puts up 475 pts while our defense allows only 200, we have a+37 TO ratio, and our division foes forfeited their 2nd games rather than face the humiliating pain they knew was inevitable. When I drink the blue I only see a +35 TO ratio and that kinda depresses me.

There is a wiiiiiiiddddeeee gap between "we will dominate" and "we will suck". Perhep DeAngelo could have been a lttle more DeLiberate in his comments and a little less DeLusional.

(Really don't care what the man says, just wanted to do the whole "De____" thing. What can I say, I amuse easily.)

Confidence and Optimism are great but nothing replaces Hard Work and Chemistry...a little Luck here and there would help too.

I guess I'm still in a 'wait and see' mode when it comes to our team. There are too many new faces, schemes, and unknowns surrounding the team to make predictions like 11 or 12 wins. Someone here even said we are 1 WR away from the Superbowl. Really? That, to me, is a preposterous statement to make.

We don't even know who our starting 5 guys on the O-line are going to be. Based on drafting one rookie who hasn't played an NFL down (and an average tweener veteran), we've all of a sudden cured our O-line woes...Does anyone remember how bad that unit was last year?

Between that, scheme changes on both sides of the ball, and aging RB's, I don't see how people can be so gung-ho about our chances this year. At least wait until preseason, folks. I feel like we (fans and the media) build the team up to unrealistic expectations every year. Then, when the team "underperforms" we act like the sky is falling and call for sweeping changes in the next offseason, when we should have just stayed the course (see: Marty). I wish that people like DeAngelo could just lock it up until at least one or two games into the regular season. They are fueling the fire of the boom and bust cycle of Redskins nation's morale.

D. Hall wants to be a star in some capacity. I wish he did the little things on the field as much as he does interviews on espn & comcast. I still think the guy could be an elite corner, but I don't get the impression he works on all the details of the game.

Realistically, the only team we might be better than right now is the g-men. They fell apart last year & kind of lost their identity. Whereas we fell apart & reverted to a familiar losing identity. The changes in the org. are good for a few wins but I think it's a bit overly optimistic to say we'll "dominate" the div. and in fairness to Allen & Shanny, they need more than a year to right the ship. Sadly, the cowpokes are hands down the div. favorite at this point.

I will admit that it is hard for me to be a McNabb fan after rooting against him for so many years. But he is not an average QB like Jason Campbell is and always will be. McNabb will make our young WRs better and we will score more points, which will make it easier on our Defense, which to me, would make them more aggressive and have more turnovers.

Let's face it everyone, the reason the Skins have not been winning more games in the past, is because they have averaged less than 20 points per game in the last several years.

They have to score more, and McNabb will help them do that. We finnally have a legit QB.

Here's his entire quote:

"It's based on the talent we feel like we've got," he said. "It's based on the improvements I feel like we've made. It's based on the scheme. The scheme alone is gonna give us four or five more wins. The games we lost by two, three points, we'll win those games, easy.

"We'll dominate our division, off of bringing Donovan McNabb in here, a guy who's dominated the division in the past. So that's just an educated guess. That's an educated guess, and I stand behind. I'll stand behind that. I'll fight and claw to try to make that happen."

If you read my history on this site I tend to make an argument for players that seem to get blasted by obsessed fans such as you. Personally, I don't understand how fans get such hatred for players on the team they are suppose to root for. Granted, that all of us will get a splitting headache when we see these players do something stupid on or off the field. But folks like you seem to love to hate players like Hall. I don't know, I just tend to be logical and think a little bit before blurting out criticism.

Pretty harmless when put into context... but not as interesting or rage inducing as the headline "We'll dominate our division".

Talk is for insecure losers. Let your play on the field do your talking for you.
Nothing good comes from talking trash. Confidence in your ability is on the inside and should remain there.

For those pessimists that say we are basically returning the same team...HELL NO!
The team is already vastly improved talent wise, not to mention we are starting to fill the role positions and depth which was one of our biggest needs...next to OL.
Where the biggest change will be seen and felt is in the coaching staff and our scheme. We had one of the worst coaching staffs and FO in the NFL. Vinny and Snyder as our FO was retarded. That has changed drastically.
