Maybe DeAngelo Hall should just sit out Week One next year.
One season after getting embarrassed by Eddie Royal during Hall’s first game as a Raider, the Washington Redskin cornerback was burned repeatedly by the Giants receiver corps, especially in the first half.
The Giants appeared to be picking on the man that Washington gave $22.5 million guaranteed to during the offseason.
“I feel like the guy that just couldn’t make a play to save my life,” Hall told Comcast’s Kelli Johnson, via Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post.
Hall went on to praise his defensive backfield teammates, and even deflected credit for his interception, saying he was originally beat on the play.
Hall’s honesty is refreshing, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s very prone to giving up big plays for such a high paid player.
Anything else you didn’t do well, DeAngelo?
“You know, we definitely need to tackle better, myself probably No. 1 on that list. . . . Hell, I even made a stupid mistake on special teams, you know, got a
block in the back. So all around, I just didn’t execute and play to my
ability at all.”
Hard to argue with the man.
wheres the article on the NEW YoRk JETS florio
Hey DeAngelo, at least you guys covered the spread for me. Thanks, but remind me never to bet on you guys again.
So did PFT set the record for least # of posts on a football Sunday??? Come on, give us an update! I’m sure the lack of posts has at least set a new record for lowest comments, and to think, it was done on opening day! Progress!!
So two major contracts two years in a row, both loaded in guaranteed money. I guess Daniel Snyder is an idiot for signing him to this big contract.
Just a few weeks ago there was an article where he was quoted blaming the Raiders for his miserable play last season. Yeah right. Some how Asoumuga (the best CB in the NFL) doesnt suffer from playing in Oakland.
The truth is what we saw today and last season in Oakland IS who Hall is. An overrated CB wh gets burned a lot, and everyone once and a while is in the right place to make an int.
Basically – he sucks.
The guy never could cover anyone, the Raiders cut him for god”s sake….just another Redskin free agent bust.
Hail!
The man has no talent….he sux and al saw it and cut him loose….
Halls mouth is much larger than his talent as he was made to look like a 5th round rookie while in Oakland.
How after seeing the way he was punked time after time in Oakland I do not know how any team in the NFL would have gave him that kind of money.
That’s better than Deangelo talking about how great Deangelo is.
Still, point well taken, it’s baffling how much money Snyder tosses around every year to questionable players.
I wonder what he tips the pizza delivery guy.
Deangelo Hall + Albert Haynesworth = continued mediocrity + no future
THE DeAngelo Hall? A key defensive cog in the football machine that Florio has picked to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl? If Florio is a believer, this guy must be stud. Just an off game. That path to the Super Bowl is still on track, right Florio?
D.Hall’s ankles are definitely in ice tonight.
Rosenthal blows. Al Davis is genius
What were Al Davis and the Raiders thinking by cutting the premier cornerback Deangeblow Hard?
No post on Zorn calling the worst offensive game I’ve ever seen?
My 10 year old nephew could call better plays.
First time I’ve ever seen the same running play called 3 times in a row, just to see it get stuffed all three times. Not to Zorn: You only keep running the same play if it keeps working.
And how many times will Zorn call the HB Dive on 3rd and 8 or longer?
Looks like the Skins don’t just need a GM…they need a new Head Coach (or at least a new Offensive Coordinator).
Deangelo hall is the best corner in the nfc east. and for that matter, jason campbell is the best qb in the nfc east
and for that matter dam snyder is the best owner in the nfc east.
and for that matter vinny cerrato is the best personeel man in the nfc east.
I just don’t know why we didn’t blitz Tom brady more in that 52-7 loss………..
Well that is cause Hall stinks! If the skins cant stop a bunch of borderline starters at WR, what will happen when they play real WR’s. Another year of the skins going south. Bring on Coach Chin, a defense with teeth and a QB with a heart.
Deangelo Hall + Albert Haynesworth = continued mediocrity
disagree, Haynesworth played well yesterday, Hall didnt play well, but i think he will improve, especially if Orakpo is used to NOT cover and used to blitz the quarterback.
That’s really big of Hall to admit his mistakes in the game. I guess that’s the reason for his, hey-everyone-look-at-me-god’s glory-celebration, after the ball fell from the sky and into his hands.
@ mwcarolina
I’m not sure what game you watched by Haynesworth certainly didnt play well. Jacobs and Bradshaw ran all over that defensive line and Haynesworth looked like the most lazy football player I have ever seen. Remove your bias before making judgements (that is unless you arent a redskin fan in which case i apologize for the bias comment)
“So all around, I just didn’t execute and play to my ability at all.”
Hard to argue with the man.
========================================
You just bought his crap, Florio.
This is just Hall buying time, again. Dude can’t play man at all, not yesterday, not today, not ever.
Hall had a solid ending to last season, but he does have crappers. But guys, cmon. Its arguably the hardest position in football. There never seems to be such a thing as a shut down corner. Given enough time, most quarterbacks will find an open receiver. And thats the redskins main area of concern, pass rush. Also, they played a really good Giants team and still could have won. But most of you morons use these blogs to take jabs at players and teams you know little about. The Skins get the Rams, Lions, and Bucs in a row. A true testament of a good team is whether they beat the teams their suppose to beat. As a Skins fan, we shall see where we stand in 3 weeks now wont we…
So Hall’s just now figuring out now what everyone else knew years ago?
I am getting tired of the redskins always making excuses. They always say the same thing – ” I am going to review the game tapes and work on it in practice” Haynesworth was worthless- he made 1 play. We paid Jason Taylor 4 million a sack last year- that was smart. These guys get paid and don’t care. The redskins are no longer a great franchise and Dan Snyder is the ass—e that is to blame. Makes me sick.
Albert Haynesworth had an impact on this game. Jacobs ran for 46 yards on 16 carries. Sure he only had 4 tackles, but that’s not really what matters. He is a presence on the field. Not to mention the Giants have the best o-line in the NFL.
Reason the Skins’ lost this game is because of an inept offense that cannot move the ball (understandable against a top-5 defense), and terrible playcalling from Zorn. Not to mention a few awful defensive plays involving Hall and Smoot.
DeAngela and the Foreskins will have another miserable year full of excuses and BS press conferences afterwards trying to explain how looking at more film and working harder will somehow transform this pile of chumps into a something resembling a professional football team. On a side note, that number 3 receiver Santana Moss better do his homework on the next guy who’s face he decides to get in. How classic was that to see that punk get taken down with a forearm firmly planted in his face?
Hail indeed lmaoooooooooo
Haynesworth did his job just fine, killachap. We’re talking about the Redskins vs. Giants game here, in case you were confused.
The Giants simply ran around him. Anyone that came near him was taken down or stopped cold. The rest of the line, unfortunately, weren’t as lights-out. Jacobs and Bradshaw, though didn’t have big numbers, got their gains primarily through plays away from big Al.
Branephood, you should watch the fight again with your eyes open next time. Moss got several good shots on a guy with his helmet still on. Coming down with a forearm on the face? Please. That doesn’t count as a win in hockey, and it certainly doesn’t count in football. The guy who got beat up the most is the loser, and that wasn’t Moss.
Fletcher schooling Jacobs with that monster hit wasn’t bad either.
