I actually wasn't thinking of the pass to Lee Evans -- Flacco put that in a bucket and most of the guys on this board could have made that catch with Hall covering. My problem is with the two long plays he gave up to Boldin where he was squatting on the route and allowed Boldin to get wide open coming across the field.

Yeah, I hate to sound cliche but it is preseason and that shit's just going to happen. At the end of the day, save three or four corners in the entire NFL, give me D.Hall any day of the week.

I'd take these before Hall, any day of the week and twice on Sunday:

Nnamdi, Woodson, Revis, McCourty, A. Samuel, DRC, T. Newman, Jammer, Grimes (ATL), P. Peterson, Trufant, Champ, B. Flowers, Finnegan, R. Mathis, Taylor & McFadden (PIT), Haden,

Probably would take V. Davis, C. Rogers (yes, I said it). and a few others too.

Hall isn't a "shut-down" corner. Hall makes plays, but gives up a ton of plays that more solid CBs don't give up.

T.Newman is a very good corner..but I'd still take Hall over him. I'll give you Woodson, Ndamdi, Revis, and A.Samuel...and maybe Champ. I think Hall is in the pack with the rest of those guys.

In almost every case you mentioned those teams had at least one Pro-Bowler, if not two, rushing the QB. Huge difference.

You'd take Hall over Brandon Flowers, given the choice?

Well, at least you're not guilty of a pro-VT bias.
