The Topic: Will DeAngelo Hall a significant impact (good or bad) for the Redskins this week?

Travis Evans sees major improvement: He will help, can't tell how much, but he will help. We boast the best secondary in the NFL now.

Jen Johnson sees long term ramifications: Hall is looking to restart his once-promising career.  If he makes an impact in a high-profile game such as this one, maybe this will spell the end of Springs tenure in Washington.

Eric Moon seems to agrees with Travis: I think the addition of Hall counters the Cowboys' acquisition of Roy Williams. With the injuries in the secondary, it will be a plus for 'Skins.

Ian Murphy thinks the impact may not be immediate: I don't see much of an impact for Hall this weekend but I think it's a shrewd pickup for the 'Skins if only to keep him off another NFC roster, which is probably where he would be heading.

I give him at least three weeks before lack of playing time becomes an issue and there in no evidence that the Redskins can stay healthy back there so he should be just fine. 

Finally, Jerry Gray is a fantastic coach, the Redskins are Hall's childhood team, and he is essentially in a contract year so he needs to act like a grown up more now than ever to prove to NFL teams he is worth another long term deal.

 

The Topic: The last two times we saw the Redskins in a "Prime Time" TV slot, they have played terribly, will that be duplicated, and why/why not?

Travis Evans puts it very simply: I wish it weren't a prime-time game!

Eric Moon sees the potential for this to continue: I believe the defense has been playing solid; let’s hope that continues. The key to the whole game will be whether or not the offensive line can control the game. If not, make it three times on prime-time TV that they played bad.

Ian Murphy seems to emphatically agree with Travis: I agree, they suck on the big stage, and I have no idea why.
