Skins Fans: Do The Right Thing & Defend DeAngelo Hall

Don DiabloNov 10, 2009

Before I get to the point and you watch the clip from the Washington/Atlanta game this weekend of the incident near the end of the first half:

First off as much as I hate to say it, Landry did hit Ryan when he was out of bounds.  From that point this entire saga spirals out of control.  DeAngelo came over picks up Landry and get him pointed back towards the field of play.  Somewhere in this #51 Tony Gilbert starts either jaw-jacking to get Halls attention.  When that happens one of coaches for Atlanta, aka the bald dude, grabs Hall's jersey.

By this point both Ryan and Landry are back towards the middle of the field waiting for the penalty enforcement and to continue the game.  During that time Hall is pulled farther into the Atlanta bench by bald dude while being surrounded by the rest of the Falcons.  Once the clip is slowed down a bit I saw Hall trying to back away but couldn't get away because the Atlanta coach has him by the collar of the jersey and is surrounded. 

Finally a referee and Justin Tryon get Hall pulled away and then Michael Smith, the Falcons' head coach, grabs him and starts jawing at Hall.  Halls shoves Smith off, which makes it look like they scuffled with each other before both are pulled away.  Than big Albert breaks the fight up by shoving another Falcon which moves the crowd of people back towards the bench.

I've honestly seen no one come to Hall's defense on this and to me it's clearly the Atlanta Falcons that incite incident farther.  Hall had nothing to do with the play itself other than being on the field.  I've seen this incident twisted to the point that since Hall was a former Falcon that he was trying to incite something at that time.   

Hall did the right thing in getting his teammate, Laron Landry away from the Falcons bench.  Before this I respected the Atlanta Falcons but not so anymore.  They now rate right up there with the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots with my hatred.  This was unclassy incident that has Hall, not Smith or the Falcons, wondering whether he's going to be fined or not.  

So Redskins fans defend our player, it is the right thing to do.
