But unfortunatly for Rogers, Hall is the better all around CB. Tipped balls don't change games momentum or turn into TD's as much as INT's do. Rogers is not even close to the CB Hall is. If he was then Rogers would be 2011 Pro Bowl MVP. Right?

I can tell you have very little knowledge of the game of football. I liked this article about the best CBs in the league when D. Hall was with Oakland.

Oakland's CB tandem No. 1? Insiders rank five better - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

As for their cornerbacks, they should make for a good tandem, and, yes, they could wind up being one of the league's best.

I said could. Because while Nnamdi Asomugha is terrific, Hall is erratic and unreliable -- a talented player who thinks he's better than he is and who is coming off two subpar seasons.

Notice what he said about talented player who thinks he's better than he is. Back up by a defensive coordinator who pretty much says the same thing.

"The only way the Raiders are the best pair of cornerbacks," said an AFC defensive coordinator, "is when Hall is doing the evaluating. It's like he's a self-proclaimed Muhammad Ali.

"But Oakland has its cornerbacks playing man-to-man most of the game, and that's tough. So you're going to notice them, just as you're going to notice cornerbacks in schemes that depend more on that position than in defenses like Indianapolis, Tampa Bay or Chicago."

Still, Hall and Asomugha are not in a league of their own. Not yet anyway, though one secondary coach conceded that "if Hall plays to his potential and (Asomugha) has a good year they might be the best."

Comments above from a AFC def coordinator back when D. Hall was with Oakland.

Not satisfied with people's opinion? Let's go to the stats. Below are stats from the 2008 season.

Top 10 most thrown at CBs

1. Carlos Rogers (72)
2. DeAngelo Hall (64)
3. Charles Tillman (56)
4. Chris Gamble (53)
5. Andre Goodman (52)
6T. Antonio Cromartie (50)
6T. Cortland Finnegan (50)
6T. Nick Harper (50)
6T. Brent Grimes (50)
6T. Dwight Lowery (50)

2006:
DeAngelo Hall
Targeted: 87 times
Yards allowed: 798 (2nd worst in NFL)
YPA: 9.2 (76th in the NFL)

2007:
DeAngelo Hall
Targeted: 69 times
Yards allowed: 539
YPA: 7.8 (54th in the NFL)

Did Al Davis watch any game film before making the decision to bring him in? It seems like all he did was turn on Madden 08 to see that Hall was fast and rated highly. That was enough for him to give up the farm to bring him in. Hall has never had a good CB playing on the other side of the field, so you would think that would make QBs throw away from him, but that wasn’t the case. He was beat and beat often by average WRs. So how was he REALLY performing in Oakland?

2008:
DeAngelo Hall
Targeted: 64 times (2nd most in NFL)
Catches allowed: 41 (most in NFL)
Yards allowed: 581 (most in NFL)
YPA: 9.08 (13th worst amongst starters)
Forced Incompletion %: 20.31% (10th worst amongst qualifiers)

Guess what? I think he also led CBs this year in catches/yards allowed for a CB. So besides that precious Int number you are holding onto, you have any stats to back up your claim he's one of the best CBs in the game? Truthfully, nothing much has changed since those years either. He still gets a shareof INTs, but still gives up a ton of plays/TDs/Yards. Like I said, play maker that's unreliable and inconsistent.

QBs are consistently throwing his direction for a reason.
