If I didn't know better, by the way some of these comments are sounding, you'd think that Hall was playing for the Cowboys.

This is the point I'm making. This comment right here. It's like you aren't allowed to question or comment on a player wearing the burgandy and gold. You know, **** that. I'm a huge fan, but I'm also a realist. I don't go out at the beginning of the year thinking OUR TEAM IS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL. (much like those idiot cowboy fans) No, I realize the strengths and weaknesses of this team and state as much. If I think a player is overrated, I'll say it. Doesn't mean I don't cheer that player on or wish him success. Being a hater involves recognizing no positives while wishing him bad luck.

I don't think anybody is going out of their way to "bash" D. Hall.

Actually most guys here thought the Redskins would go 8-8.

And some guys are going out of their way not to give Hall the praise he deserves. We are all huge fans. You don't fake being a Redskins fan. And you don't last long if your a fair weathered fan.

You don't think Hall is all that great, we get it. But a lot of us do. Yes, we know he's not a "shutdown corner" but some of us love what he brings to the game and the Redskins.

HTTR!!!

Well said! I don't think D.Hall is all that great either, but I give him props on being voted into the Pro Bowl. I also felt at best the 'skins would be 8-8 by season's end. Not sure who, if anybody, thought the Redskins were going to the Super Bowl this year. Sounds kind of delusional to me.

We've seen a lot of fair-weathered fans come and go on this board.

Call me delusional but to be honest I think we are going to the Super Bowl every year.

Not unless you bring two to three reasons why D. Hall sucks or is not worthy of the Pro Bowl. [/sarcasm]

LOL. :cool-smil

Re: D. Hall is our lone Pro Bowl selection

Hall is good, but not so good that he has earned the, justified or not, "diplomatic immunity" other corners have. And when I say good, I mean adequate.

Re: D. Hall is our lone Pro Bowl selection

All this fighting over D.Hall? Is it possible to just agree that Hall is a 50/50 corner, he will make plays and give up plays. Look at it like this: bad corners not only can't cover, they can't make a play to save their life. At least D.Hall has one of those angles covered. He can be a positive or negative difference maker any day of the week. With a solid cover corner like Rogers on the other side, I think it's a pretty decent combination.

75/25 and you got a deal. Just as we say give our QB a better Offense to work with, I say give D. Hall a better Defense to work with. Also, D. Hall thrives in a cover 2 type defense.

Re: D. Hall is our lone Pro Bowl selection

For better or worse the defenses main goal this year was to create turnovers. In that respect Hall is among the leagues top players. I guess the main thing is to try and avoid matchups with likely third down targets unless we're down and in need of a game changing play.
