Hall agrees to one year deal with skins

[DIRTEE]

I look forward to watching Hall play for the Skins. I'm a huge VA Tech/Miami fan. Was sad when Justin Hamilton was let go, but now i can live with it. With the remaining schedule it will bye Springs some more time to get healthy and then we will be on fire!!! If only Pete Kendall could return punts!!!

[Paintrain]

I'm fine with the move.. Hall is young, healthy, presumably hungry and has shown his talent in the past. Financially we're not on the hook for much and he can come in and have an impact immediately on two phases of the game-defense and special teams. The dude can fly and has great hands. Jerry Gray is probably the best DB coach in the league so with him I think Hall will get back to form. With Rogers, Hall, Smoot and Torrence at CB and Springs, Landry and Horton at S it's going to be hell on QB that face us down the stretch!

I'm all for getting a guy when his value is the lowest, which is exactly what the Redskins have done here. No problem at all with Cerrato's move.

This is a HUGE responsibility for Blache though to be able to balance the playing time Hall thinks he deserves with the playing time that Hall actually deserves. Remember, the first time a receiver drops a pass within ten yards of him, Hall's going to feel like he's earned a $7 million raise.

regardless of what most people may think .......

we need springs at corner.. the guy is still our best corner even the way Rogers is playing .... rogers will never be the corner we need unless he can change games for us...

and 99% of the time, he doesnt... last year against the saints or rams i 4get... he returned one for a td

but i know everyone remembers '05 -- angainst Seattle in the playoffs.... drop'd a pick 6... and against the steelers -- dropp'd a pick 6...

he will get better.

but a healthy Springs > Rogers IMO. .... both and Hall > Smoot.

Great move all around. If he plays well and we sign him long term we are going to have a great secondary. I think we may drop Torrence as he seems to be the odd man out and Tyron is a rookie with potential.

[Meks]

i also agree with Smoot about this being my favorite signing.

The fact that he was cramming, or the fact that it involved duffle bags?

I welcome the addition. I'm eager to see how he can contribute. I imagine he'll get anointed quickly, appropriately and immediately in the best rivalry in the NFL on Sunday Night Football. I hope he doesn't disappoint. Get ARE the hell out of there returning punts too...Hall splits duties with Moss would be an interesting tandum to try (providing Moss' hamstring is healthy).

I'll take the wait & see approach with this one it can be a great move or very low risk. His play in Oakland isn't his fault IMO. Kiffin wanted to fire Ryan last year his scheme didn't match his personnel he wasn't adjusting to his players skills. Hell Al Davis is the man in Oakland and Ryan did what Davis said to do so his play is Oakland is no big deal.

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

I've been for this from the start

Actually, I have talked myself into thinking this is a good idea.

It was the Lions

this could be very interesting. I know Blache is dreaming new schemes right now
