Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

Hall sounded like he was pissed at JH for putting Phillip on AJ. I really don't think it would have mattered if Hall was on Johnson but atleast he's fired up!

He dropped a couple of f bombs during that interview. We'll see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

I like the firey attitude...a bit early to start blaming the coach, but I like his yearning to be the leader....though I'm not sold on his coverage skills.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

Just when it looked like he'd matured into being more of a team player...
Sounds almost like he's saying that the loss isn't his fault. From what I've read & what I've seen on tv, doesn't look like this defense features much pure man on man coverage. Looked like buchanon made the right play in the zone; stay w/the wr until he gets to the safety.

We will hear about these quotes all week.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

This is definitely not Hall's defense, there's still Orakpo and Fletcher to consider.. However, there's no questions that Hall's becoming a leader.. There was even an article explaining that Shanahan had a meeting wtih Hall, and asked him to be a leader..

And not to mention, Hall looks like he bulked up a little bit, and improved his playings.. I hope he is having a pro-bowl season this year, it would help our defense lot..

Our front 7 looked good yesterday, pressuring Schuab almost whole game.. And our secondary didn't look good.. But we need to remember that The defense only played two games together with tthe new schemes and all.. We need to give it some time for the guys to understand everything and hopefully, the team will click and play lights out..

I appreciate that Hall wants to be a leader, but don't do it through the media.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

Here in the local paper they had a good article on Hall and how Shanahan came to him asking him to step up and become a leader. He talked about how in the past he played for the money and the fame but now plays for the team and the team wins. I have looked and cannot find a link but sometime their on line stuff is a week behind.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

There's a difference between being belligerent and being pissed off. He's pissed off that they lost and just lashing out. I don't blame him. If I am JH I like what I am hearing.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

It's still 59s D but atleast Hall wants to win. They should be embarrassed with that debacle yesterday. 27-10 and lose at home. That's on the D

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

Dear D. Hall,

STFU. I know Ray Lewis and you sir are no Ray Lewis. If you want to be Ray Lewis I'd recommend you make more big plays and play like D. Revis.

Sincerely yours,

saden1

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

An average cover corner who wants it to be "his" defense? C'mon Hall. You have a nose for being around the ball and you make plays but you're not Deion Sanders, Darrell Green or Rod Woodson. But he does make a good point. Why was Buchanon and Doherty cover Johnson when the game is on the line? Terrible coaching.

Re: D Hall stepping up as a leader?

It's one thing to be a leader, and a different thing to be disruptive. I think this statement from Hall borders on or goes over the line of disruptive behavior:

Quote:
Asked whether Haslett would be receptive to his demand, Hall stood firm.

“It don’t matter what he say,” Hall said. “This [is] my team. This [is] my defense. I’m gonna follow the receivers around. If we’ve got to do that to win games, that’s what I’m gonna do.”
