thehbrwhammer Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've had many questions on how DeAngelo Hall has played at safety, so I wanted to show you what I've found in a quick post here. Basically, D'Hall truthfully hasn't been tested yet. He's used in four basic situations: Cover 1 Robber - He plays the deep safety while we bring Goldson in to cover the middle zone. He doesn't do anything in this GFY, but this is to show you his general position on the field as DEEP safety. To go along with Cover 1 Robber, he also plays Cover 2 with Goldson in the back as the other outside safety. Bring him in the box occasionally to help with run support. The 'Skins like to have both their safeties play both roles, so this doesn't surprise me here that he is used in both situations (deep and shallow). Plays cornerback against slower, larger tight ends or bigger wide receivers - This I'm VERY happy about. He's best against bigger receivers like Dez/D Thomas especially since he's older and slower. He actually has good coverage on #86. http://www.gfycat.com/ShimmeringLivelyFinwhale http://www.gfycat.com/LikableUnhappyArrowana http://www.gfycat.com/ThankfulSelfishBactrian http://www.gfycat.com/AdventurousFewBluebottle Two penalties vs Giants: Face mask - I am 99% sure he knew and pretty much apologized to ODB afterwards. Maybe that's my homer bias talking... but it looks like he was just like "**** that's my bad" http://www.gfycat.com/WhimsicalLeadingBeaver http://www.gfycat.com/PlainSlimEchidna Horse collar - I don't care that he grabbed the jersey. The fact is that the refs will call this tackle EVERY single time. I don't blame the refs here one bit. http://www.gfycat.com/BruisedCanineIaerismetalmark Big play from Sunday: Leg tackle on Tye. Barely got him http://www.gfycat.com/PlumpHonorableAvians Switch from outside CB to Safety His role is almost identical to SS#30 Kyshoen Jarrett's right now, except Barry trusts Jarrett more in coverage. So you will rarely see Jarrett and Hall on the field at the same time unless we bring out dime packages (6 DBs where we run Dunbar, Breeland, Blackmon, Goldson, Jarrett and Hall). I went back to the beginning of the season and a couple of our big plays were 100% his fault. He simply is not good enough to play outside CB anymore. So at safety, let's wait and see... I like his physicality and aggressiveness, but that could lead to busted coverages.

DC9 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Awesome work product once again. Not warm and fuzzy about counting on him for much. But as long as he doesn't get beat deep, he's kind of doing a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm pretty hopeful for him. I really like DHall. Playing deep has been a hole for us for quite some time. I think he also gets an unfair title of soft at tackling. He rarely shys away from a hit. I also wonder how healthy he is and if that lingering injury will ever truly heal.

SkinssRvA Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Goldson does not look good in these clips. Thanks for the post man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wit33 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It would be nice to have some one back there when passes go down field a fan could think a play could be made on ball. A ballhawk is what I'm trying to say. Not sure if he can provide that, but he would seem to have ball skills to have a chance at this. Playmakers, playmakers and more playmakers is what we need on D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Him getting straight armed by a TE much bigger than him and still bringing him down? He's never been a knock out tackler, like a Merriweather, true. But he rarely gets punked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
