Maybe DeAngelo Hall should just sit out Week One next year.
One season after getting embarrassed by Eddie Royal during Hall’s first game as a Raider, the Washington Redskin cornerback was burned repeatedly by the Giants receiver corps, especially in the first half.
The Giants appeared to be picking on the man that Washington gave $22.5 million guaranteed to during the offseason.
“I feel like the guy that just couldn’t make a play to save my life,” Hall told Comcast’s Kelli Johnson, via Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post.
Hall went on to praise his defensive backfield teammates, and even deflected credit for his interception, saying he was originally beat on the play.
Hall’s honesty is refreshing, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s very prone to giving up big plays for such a high paid player.
Anything else you didn’t do well, DeAngelo?
“You know, we definitely need to tackle better, myself probably No. 1 on that list. . . . Hell, I even made a stupid mistake on special teams, you know, got a block in the back. So all around, I just didn’t execute and play to my ability at all.”
Hard to argue with the man.
