For some reason I thought that Ha...Excellent post.<br /><br />For some reason I thought that Hall was the older of the two starters...wow.<br /><br />As for Smoot, he's always seemed strong against the run, so the metrics there don't surprise me. His 2007 metrics against the pass are phenomenal, but most likely an aberration, and they seemed to even out in 2008. Those metrics (83rd and 70th) put him in the average to above average range of nickel cornerbacks.<br /><br />Would like to get more production out of him, but it's pretty apparent he's on the decline.Alex Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995856053419005205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008716461062042684.post-22076468112962681302009-09-23T10:44:17.257-04:002009-09-23T10:44:17.257-04:00Great stuff, and here's a case where the stats...Great stuff, and here's a case where the stats support what my eyes tell me: that Hall is overrated and 'Los is underrated.<br /><br />You raise questions that get to the core of Snyderrato's moronic approach to team building: substance versus style. The goal of a corner is to prevent WRs from getting completions; interceptions are an awesome bonus and get all the attention, but hardly indicative of overall abilities. If Snyder owned the Wizards, he'd pay billions for sick dunkers like Chris Anderson and Stromile Swift: vicious dunks are big plays that just don't outweigh the other factors in the equation.<br /><br />Having Hall supplement 'Los is awesome. Relying on Hall to carry the DBs is just ignorant.<br /><br />Another lucid transmission from the Crackpipe.Red Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233795076874610127noreply@blogger.com
