Hall repeats: He's done with losing team

Flowery Branch — Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he would consider demanding a trade or holding out of the first 10 games of next season if the team did not extend his contract or make personnel moves - including the hiring of a coach - that didn't point to improvement.

"I will not be a part of another losing team for another year," Hall said. "I've got to do what I've got to do. No matter who hates me ... The tough thing about coming back without a contract extension is injuries happen. Our legs are our money. They're your bread and butter. My game is about speed, quickness. If I hurt a leg, knee, my stock drops tremendously. I go to being just another guy. It would be tough for me to step out on the field knowing what I would have on the line."

Just putting this out here. If we lose Samuel, its possible if he has the right attitude.

Unfortunately not only is his attitude horrible, he is wildly overrated.

he is money hungry, which means he wont be here
he is not well diciplined, which means belichick might not want him
he has no morals, which means he definitely wont be here.
he is a complete douchebag, which means he wont be here

He'd need a brain transplant to play for the Patriots. But, stranger things have happened (re., Dillon, Moss).

I'm feeling ya D. Atlanta does not have DeAngelos. They do not deserve your talents.

I'd welcome him , Asante or no Asante. What do we offer, given that we pick after Atlanta in the 1st rd?

Indeed. He talks great smack before and during every game. Unfortunately for him, he normally follows that up by getting toasted all game.

Were Dillon and Moss this bad though? I know NE isn't made of a bunch of choir boys, but..

If BB and Pioli think he's worth a look then fine.

ShrewBeer · 12-24-2007, 09:39 AM

anyone who thinks vick should be free wont get a single look from bb and pioli.
that being said, bb has shocked me before. probably not to that extent, but...

Apples and oranges.

There is a huge difference between a veteran star so tired of losing he is willing to take a paycut and a young guy with a lot to prove on the field looking to break the bank but who just would prefer it be on a good team.
