I have seen him make some pretty damn impressive punt returns with my own eyes many times over his 3 years at Virginia Tech (his last year at VT he had 4 punt returns for TD's and a defensive score)

He will be returning punts for us more regularly. ARE sucks at it

The funny thing with D'Lo is out of the context of football he is a great guy. Married a very nice girl. In the locker room though, he is cocky as hell and one of the most arrogant guys to ever play at Virginia Tech.

So am I too pleased? No not really. For the price and his potential ability, I will take him
There have been plenty of great college return men.

Acting like that simply translates to now, in the NFL, 5 years removed, is a little silly. Especially when his return skills to this point have shown themselves to be average at best, and fumbly at worst.

You guys act like he blows.....?!?!??!

He is a talent and they just stole him.

That's why the Raiders cut him after only 8 games after signing him to a 7-year, $72M contract.

I don't think there as been one aquisition the skins have made since Snyder has been there that they traded or picked up a player that was an all pro.

Certainly not someone of DeAngelo's Caliber.

My brother is a die hard falcon fan, so I've seen a ton of thier games. DeAngelo flat out stinks. He REALLY stinks. Very undisciplined.

We don't have anything to worry about. Trust me.

T.O. and ROY are smiling.......big time.

Don't think TO or Roy should be smiling. Springs will be back on TO, and pressing him off the line. If you remember, springs completely shut him down before going out with an injury. And roy...Carlos rogers can take care of roy. If Hall even plays our game in a couple weeks, he'll be playing nickel/dime and be matched with austin/crayton.

I hope your team is also taking that for granted.

HAHAHAH what!?!? This has to be a joke.
Pacman has been an idiot, there is no arguing that. But, as far as negative locker room activity, I've never heard of him being anything of the sort...anybody else? Can't say the same for DeAngelo.

Nope. Nothing is going to change for Hall simply by him changing teams. He's still going to be burned by any reciever that is at least average in ability.

Austin would burn the living piss out of Hall right now so I'd take that match up all day long.

But if you think that Garrett is going to see Hall playing in the nickel and he isn't going to try and get Roy or TO on him then you're crazy. Garrett will no doubt have seen film on Hall as well and he'll know that the best best, passing wise, for us is to get Roy or TO matched up on him.

And Springs, please dude, stop acting like Springs did anything on his own. Springs was able to get that physical cause he knew that he'd have over the top help at all times. Do you think they're going to keep over the top help on TO all the time now?

Great. If they do then Roy is going to have Rogers one on one and I'll take that match up every single day of the week and 9 times on Sunday nights.

Of course I guess they could always put the other safety over the top of him as well, so that they can let those corners believe that they're able to take TO or Roy one on one. Then that would only leave the matter of leaving the front seven to have to try and stop Barber and Felix on their own.

So, yeah, I'll take that match up every day of the week and 25 times on Sunday nights.

Yeah because we all know DeAngelo Hall a week into the signing will be starting for a defense thats been one of the best in the league without him :rolleyes:

Funny thing is, he would automatically be the best corner on the Cowboys minus Newman and with Newman would be the 2nd best. Right now hes #4 on the Skins depth chart :lmao2:

You're sadly mistaken if you think Carlos Rogers can man up with RW11. First, RW has 3'' on him and 20 lbs give or take. Roy isint going to be running many go routes and I would love to see Rogers press him at the line. RW11 is to strong for him and would eat him alive. That is if RW11 has grasped the playbook and is ready to take the #2 WR spot.

I agree he won't be starting, it's wishful thinking, but he wouldn't be teh #2 here and that is either ignorance or just plain stupidity talking because you over value the depth the Skins have at corner.

If Dallas had him he wouldn't be better than the #4 corner cause I'd take Jenkins and Scandrick over him every single day of the week. And, as you mentioned, he's not anywhere near as good as T-New.

No you wouldn't. As average as D. Hall might be, he still a much more accomplished and better player than Jenkins and Scandrick. He is also better than Anthony Henry.

Again that is where you're wrong cause I've actually seen him play. I would not, at any time, take him over Scandrick and Jenkins.

I would take him over Henry but then I'd likely take your grandmother over Henry if she can run anything under a 6.5

I'd take all three of them over MeAngelo. And it's not even close.
