Cut DeAngelo Hall

He had a good game but I still think he should have not been allowed to fly back with the team from Pittsburgh.

Talib and a 7th rounder... Why don't we jump on these things? Apparently though this guy comes with baggage.

Also, isn't the team that got him (Pats) famous for having picks to spare? Probably got the 4th rounder for someone like Moss ... 2nd time around. Oh yeah, and they picked up a 7th rounder in the deal.

So they got Talib and a potential Alfred Morris. This allows them to make mistakes. The Patriots currently have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and two 7th rounders as they also traded away their 5th for Albert Haynesworth, and their 6th for Chad Ochocinco.

we do NOT have the luxury to give up draft picks and especially not for players like that ...

we are not just a player or 2 from the playoffs - NE can afford to make mistakes

we have many positions of need and then we have to add a lot of players that provide QUALITY depth as well

the franchises with good depth do well when the injuries that happen take away your starters

our secondary (actually the defense) will get a lot of attention this offseason including both players and coaches

Hall will be looked at carefully and have to earn his spot just like a lot of others

Which of those DB's schematically fits the scheme that we run?

Kevin Barnes plus he can play safety. I don't see how he was let go and we keep someone like Reed Doughty..........

totally agree with CLL - this NOT fantasy BS - this is the NFL

If you have to add players, add the ones that best suit, not necessarily the best player, like Cerrato & Snyder used to do here :roll:

But if he was released, it was more than likely determined that he didn't fit the scheme/direction of what the coaches were asking of him... So again...?

Right. Now's not the time to overreact and make a bad situation worse.

Probably because Reed Doughty is the better player.

AGREE. As to the second paragraph --- need to add these players via the draft, which is why we need picks and can't afford to give them away.

"@RapSheet: #Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall was in a screaming episode with a reporter. Were separated by security, PR. Reporter & Hall later met to discuss"

Oh. Shocking.

I thoguht we traded barnes for a late round draft pick to the iggles or something.. IF thats the case he would still have value here and might be worth taking a look at #justsaying

Chris Luva Luva based on the secondary play this year is it too much of a stretch to think that MAYBE they are mistaken? I mean I dunno but I would think that if nothing else Kevin is faster and younger than say Reed Doughty. I mean Jesus we kept Madoo Doo and what has he done other than get smoked like a blunt for 80% of the time he has started??

How? seriously can you even say that? How many times has Reed been burned in deep coverage? Last I recall Kevin Barnes playing safety he was intercepting a pass to close a game out......I can't ever recall causing a fumble or even getting an interception. We know he is a fan favorite for him playing so well after Sean was killed but that pig don't fly no more......

Your point is moot... Merriweather is done for the year, if they thought Barnes was better than Doughty they would have already signed the FREE Agent and wouldn't have to cut anyone.
