Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

I'm not jumping on the move Springs to safety boat. He's slowly turning into the Shaquille O'Neal of football. Miss about a quarter of the season, show up for the playoffs. Its just nice to field healthy CB's. Everybody seems to be a gameday decision.

No, we should cut Leigh Torrence I believe Tryon has a bright future he is only a rookie.

oh my.....tryon will be lucky to land on the practice squad.
Torrence is fine for his position....#4 corner...in fact for that, he is far above average to good....now he is a 5....probably the best #5 in the NFL.
Tryon should never get on the field this year...being young, doesn't make you good. Based on Tryon's performance in preseason, the only reason they kept him is because of age.
He needs to go....groom his skills on the practice field and fight for #4 or 5 next year.

Stop dogging Torrence folks...he aint great....but c'mon...hes a #4....name a better one in the last few years for us.....jimoh? HA!

Given the current situation, wouldn't Torrence be considered #5 when all of our corners are healthy? I'm just saying.

"Our game is driven by our standard of players and, man, have I been associated with some of the all-time greats. Roy Green, O.J. Ellison, Pat Tilley, Darrell Green, Art Monk. Ricky Sanders, Gary Clark, Dexter Manley, Russ Grimm, Doug Williams, Mark Rypien, Brian Dawkins, Mike Sotis, Troy Vincent and, of course, DeAngelo Hall."

Wow.....was he serious or is that like if Moses Malone were to say "I've been associated with some all-time greats. Julius Erving, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, Bernard King and of course, John "Hot Plate" Williams."?

One other thing...
I wonder how Springs is taking this.
He is due big money next year and the talk the last 2 years is that we've been trying to cut him for someone else.
That dude must have a really thick skin by now.

He is our best player in the secondary and we bring it a guy that has been sucking that is supposedly a #1 or #2 corner?

That is Springs' spot.
Now I know what you'll all say.....Springs is always injured and getting older...but I think hes only like 32 or something (someone check) and thats hardly done for a guy that plays rock solid. The only problem is he misses games.

Question:
If Hall pans out, is there any way the Skins can afford to keep Springs, Smoot, Rodgers and Hall next year, while extending both Hall and Rodgers?

That to me, is a killer CB posse'....that group could stay together for 3 years.
(I really think Hall is a #3 CB like Smoot)

AND....I say no to using Springs as a Safety...he's a corner....a good one...dont screw it up!

Given the current situation, wouldn't Torrence be considered #5 when all of our corners are healthy? I'm just saying.

of course, but even as a #4 Torrence has held his own...thats my point.

I am a big Hokie fan and watching this guy through college was incredible. He definetly has talent, he is super fast and I think honestly he wasn't that happy in Oakland. Who would be ??!! So I think its a safe smart move. He is a very talented player and I'm very excited to watch him play

YOU KNOW Hot Plate?

I just saw a phone interview (I think) on Sportsnite and Carlos Rogers was questioning how they were going to find playing time for everybody. Not a good sign but may be just a knee-jerk reaction.

YOU KNOW Hot Plate?

The original point-forward.......who turned into....or maybe ate Mel Turpin? Yeah, I know Hot Plate.
