All? ...or you mean you? Listen guy, if being a Redskins fan means you have to be a total homer, than I guess it's not in my nature. If you are going to discuss something, please come up with something original than the reply above. The "JUST GO BE A COWBOYS FAN!!" or the fan favorite of "YOU ARENT A TRUE FAN!!" just aren't cutting it to be quite honest with you.

Also, there is nothing worse in the world than listening to homers. You can be a fan and still recognize the shit and sugar on your favorite team. Does that mean you aren't going to cheer for the shit players? Of course not. Hell, I cheered for D. Hall even though he got beat more often than he made a good play. I cheered for Casey Rabach even though he got demolished by DL on a regular. Right now, this team has a lot of shit on it, as evident by the past 10 years. The good news is, things are changing as is the culture. Soon, we'll have those blue collar guys coming to work with their lunch pails reading to stomp ass on Sundays. I look forward to that day.

Yeah, look how hard those guys are going (especially the DL/OL). So you have MeAngelo going all out trying to be "primetime" again against guys who don't give a shit and that is your platform?

I think the numbers back up that he's horrible (minus that one insanely great game against Chicago). I've proven this and backed it up with facts and video. Could he be the best? Sure. That would only occur if he played the position with discipline. Hopefully our revamped DL/OLB help mask those gambles of his.

I love how you picked the last play of the Pro-Bowl that was allready won to prove your point.

He had 4 INTs AND 1 TD. You won't see another performance like that again for quite some time.

Which is exactly why it's weird that we're voting on the greatness of this performance. In the context of that Week 7 game, it made all the difference. In the contrast of Hall's career, it was an extremely random and improbable event that won't be replicated for some time.

It's pretty cool that this performance happened for a Redskins player as opposed to against the Redskins, but ultimately, we're just cherishing randomness, not greatness.

I'll ask them to change the category to "Greatest Random Occurrence"

Cast my vote for Jason Campbell's 6 INT season.

When he played in as safe as an offense as that its impossible to throw picks. No risk, no reward either. 13 tds in 16 starts. pathetic.

And on D-Hall. Yea it was a great game (he also lead our team in tackles that game) I honestly can't think of anyone having a better one this season. What leon washington did has been done every season, and Arian Foster had monstrous holes in his game. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I would have without a doubt rushed for over 100 in that game if I were given the rock.
But I don't wanna vote for D-Hall. He just pisses me off too much. He is too much of a "me" guy, and he blows too many coverages. For every game changing play he makes, he gives up two game changing plays. He doesn't deserve his attitude that he has. He just pisses me off.

I'll take any positives for the Redskins I can get.
He's got my vote.

This thread is about his 4 INT game, that's it. I knew when this thread got posted it was going to quickly turn into a shit show. Nice job D Hall haters.

Freaking AMEN

Here's the thing about D-Hall; does he give up some big plays? Yes. Is he shutdown? He has the ability to be, sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't.

If you're talking about him playing the position with discipline, I think D-Hall actually got better as the season went on. I think he got more comfortable in the scheme and Haslett learned what D-Hall was good at. I mean, you look at the last Giants game, and D-Hall was coming up and chipping the fullback of tight end on running plays. Yeah, I know he gave up the big pass during that game too.

But I think for the most part he's grown up a lot and seems to be getting more comfortable in the defense.

And, I think he'd take less chances if 1.) we weren't down in so many games and he was trying to come up with a play to shift field position 2.) our defensive front could apply some pressure. It's no fluke that the whole defense, including the secondary, looked a lot better when Anthony Bryant started playing nose and Carriker and Holliday were actually applying some pressure that didn't require us to send a blitz all the time.

As for the Chicago game, that performance was superhuman, and the voting for this is for that ONE PERFORMANCE, not for the entire season.

Funny thing is, I think he only really jumped a route, like, once that day. If D-Hall just played coverage and didn't jump routes I don't think we'd be talking about this.

I'm happy to have the guy on my football team though. I think he's hitting that sweet spot in his career. And I don't mind his swag.

There's being realistic (which is okay), and then there's being pessimistic and tearing down members of the team and jumping down the throats of people who are optimistic. Not saying anyone is doing that here, just saying since the end of last season, I've seen a lot of people elsewhere take the pessimistic antagonist route, claiming they expect nothing for the team, only to rage/I-told-you-so when they fail.

I think you can be realistic about the football team without dooming them to being noncompetitive and losing.
