Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Ravens)

I agree to disagree. I don't feel that he disrespected the game. How do you know that he wasn't being instructed by Shannahan to not line up for the PAT? Secondly, Shanny is one of the more disciplined coaches in the NFL. Either he didn't have a problem with it or he has addressed it. Either way it is over and his actions were not detrimental to the team. Off sides, penalty declined, PAT Good. At least he didn't take a nap in the endzone using the football as a pillow.Because...that's insane.

Look it's easily to deflect whats happening. Maybe the professionalism issue that Shanahan hid so well in Denver from the MSM, and that Hall displayed throughout his career (which was more justifiable, IMO, when he was straight out of college) finally took it's rightful place here in Washington. And now whenever Shanahan wants to be a total douche, he can put a signal up in the sky for his lackey DeAngelo to go run on the field and delay the game, all in the name of competitive spirit.

That's possible. Or maybe Hall got beat, convinced himself that he actually recovered and prevented the completion of the catch, and then even though the visual evidence said: no, that didn't happen, he took it upon himself to delay the game until they could review something pretty cut and dry. Either could have happened, I suppose.

Except no, that did not come from the bench.

Yes because Pro football and all those involved are a model of sanity. C'mon, they are all nutz!

I don't honestly believe that Shannahan instructed it, but he didn't seem too pissed about it either. If the coach can shrug it off then it isn't a big deal. You seem to be taking what he did extra personal. Like he came over to your house polished off your beer and kicked his feet up on the table.

I think Gtripp has more of a personal issue and hatred against Hall, and it's starting to lash out.

Hall plays great, and he's a great playmaker in the NFL. How many other Redskins have taken INT's back to the house since Sean Taylor? I'm thankful he is here, and he has his good and bad moments, but in the NFL today. There isn't one DB that doesn't have a breakdown in coverage or something a few times a year.

Hall's a good player, but as I said before...his ability to be a playmaker is also his biggest weakness. I think people get frustrated by the breakdown in coverage. Similar situation with Rogers, he was a very good cover receiver, but was not able to catch a cold. I guess we all want these guys to be Nnamdi or Revis, but they aren't. So you'll hear complains here and there.

CBs need to have thick skin to put their bad plays behind them. Sadly, Hall doesn't seem to have it quite thick enough. After he got toasted, he also started giving up a HUGE cushion. Now, I had a shitty stream, so I can't comment completely on the offsides just yet, but I must say that was stupid at the very least.

People need to make up their mind do you want Gregg or Haslett as your DF coordinator,Haslett wants TO so gambling is going to be apart of the DF's.

Clemens complete waste. Liked everything else I seen. Cant hate on my man Hall but I have to admit he looked pretty sleepy. I'm looking for Beck to get the start.

deleted, nevermind.

I'm surprised no one has called Hall out on being behind the kicker on the extra point after giving up the touchdown.

We've really beaten both sides of the "is DeAngelo Hall a valuable corner?" debate to death. And he pretty much was that same player in the first half against Baltimore. Not much to add to that. If anything that Hall did yesterday in coverage changed a person's opinion of him as a player, they haven't been paying attention.

But dude needs to get over himself. The guy just isn't a professional. His sense of self-importance is mind boggling. And if he hasn't grown up by now, it's just never going to happen. Sorry, everyone who ripped Haynesworth for his absolute lack of professionalism last year: where are you now when Hall does something more ridiculous than Haynesworth ever did?

We know you don't like him but come on, he's not even close to being in the class of AH.

No doubt, Hall is a hustler and runs his ass off every game and hes easily in the top five of our best defensive guys.
