Have they changed much in terms of him being high on the list of catches allowed, yards allowed, and TDs allowed? Has anything changed over the past 2 years that suddenly vaulted him into the elite category of corner backs? I'll retract that if you can prove it to be wrong.

Doesn't look like they've changed much to me. Thought dude prior said his play hasn't cost us games?...lol
First off I don't even know where to find the stats but if I did I use current stats so it does not look like I'm cherry picking stats to support my position.

All this fighting over D.Hall? Is it possible to just agree that Hall is a 50/50 corner, he will make plays and give up plays. Look at it like this: bad corners not only can't cover, they can't make a play to save their life. At least D.Hall has one of those angles covered. He can be a positive or negative difference maker any day of the week. With a solid cover corner like Rogers on the other side, I think it's a pretty decent combination.

For better or worse the defenses main goal this year was to create turnovers. In that respect Hall is among the leagues top players. I guess the main thing is to try and avoid matchups with likely third down targets unless we're down and in need of a game changing play.

75/25 and you got a deal. Just as we say give our QB a better Offense to work with, I say give D. Hall a better Defense to work with. Also, D. Hall thrives in a cover 2 type defense.

Hall is better than what most of you think. You just don't luck into 4 interceptions in one game.

Actually he lucked into a few of them that game. Props for being able to hold onto them though lol

Some call it luck, some call it ball awareness. Argument seems pointless at this point.

I'm not his biggest fan but I have to agree 44. He's not in a position to make INT's by accident. He LOOKS to make them. Sometimes this may cause him to get beat...but I'll take all the TO's we can get.

I've said this in the past, the INTs by Hall would have been more meaningful if the offense would have actually turned those turnovers into points. Unfortunately they didn't turn those TOs into points, so a lot of those INTs were for nothing (literally).

This is intended as a positive and a negative (not just a negative), but I think "2011 Pro Bowl MVP" might be the perfect honor to bestow on a player with DeAngelo Hall's career. It's fitting.
Hall will always have value as long as he puts the ball in the end zone on defense. But it's hard for me to fathom a significant improvement in our pass D with him in his current role. You've just got to take the positive with the negative with Hall. He brought a ton of both in 2010, a rather memorable year for him in a forgettable year for the Redskins.
