Sure, everything comes back to his performance on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall's week all culminated on Tuesday when he got named the NFC defenseive player of the week. Not too shabby for a player who's known as a defensive liability who can occasionally contribute a show-stopping clutch play. It just so happens that on Sunday he strung together four of those plays in one game to tie an NFL record with four interceptions. As a result, not only did he earn the aforementioned player-of-the-week honours, but he also had his jersey shipped off to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So, not only does Hall get the well-deserved accolades this week, but for once he gets the chance to be remembered for something other than his volatile nature, as displayed once upon a time in his blow-up with his then-head coach of the Atlanta Falcons Bobby Petrino back in 2007.
My bad, that was actually Hall taking on Atlanta head coach Mike Smith last November... two years after being traded to the Oakland Raiders and then signing with the Redskins. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Please don't ever change, DeAngelo.
