D. Hall regains his Swag
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Everybody saw DeAngelo Hall get worked out in the season opener against Denver. Fantasy players all across the land picked up Eddie Royal the next day after his big day.
Since a lot has happened in Raider land. Lane Kiffin was shown the door. My man Tom Cable, who with the Falcons in 2006 and knows Hall, was named the interim coach and told Hall to chill out and play his game. Hall is over his hand, toe and foot injuries and said he’s regained his swagger.
Hey, all cornerbacks must have their Swag. One that’s as colorful as D. Hall is required to have his Swag.
It was a sad day for the local media when D. Hall was traded to the Raiders for a second round pick in 2008 and a fifth round pick in 2009. The second round pick was used to help the Falcons move up and draft Sam Baker.
D. Hall marched to his own beat and that probably shied the new regime away from opening up the purse strings for the sometimes loose cannon. But the Raiders don’t have a problem with sometimes individualistic players and gave Hall a seven-year, $70 million deal.
Hall is jacked up for Sunday’s game.
Should the Falcons throw Hall’s way much on Sunday? Who’s the real Hall in your book, the one Eddie Royal worked out? Or the D. Hall who’s gone to two Pro Bowls? Or the D. Hall who got the penalties against Steve Smith in a tight game?
