Understandable truculence.

In a previous post, I expressed a combination of surprise and disheartenment that DeAngelo Hall might be migrating to the Pacific Coast.

Wail, according to this little video clip from NFL.com, the cornerback is going to (if he hasn’t already as of 1:01 pm East Coast time) meet with the Raiders elite for some conversation.

Whether or not I think he’s a sensational cornerback is irrelevant. The first time I saw him on the local news, I was struck by his mise-en-scene. Looks like I’ll never get a glimpse of that vibe in person, n’est-ce pas?

So I asked a friend of mine, also a Falcons fan/supporter, about this whole cast-replacement situation and he offered me the following insights:

[The Falcons were] a team built around michael vick, last year he sunk the franchise like no player has ever done before. With a new general manager, a new head coach, and a whole new cast of players, it looks like arthur blank has made the decision to hit the reset button, restart the franchise, and hope things are better the second time around.
i do it all the time while playing madden08, blank just have the money to do it in real life.
