DeAngelo Hall seen above in a heated argument with coach Bobby Petrino is once again upset with the falcons coach and organization, after the team released defensive lineman Grady Jackson. The pro-bowl cornerback believes the team has already given up this season and looking towards next year. He has already been fined once by the team for a sideline confrontation with Petrino.
Hall was quoted as saying," I don't know what kind of message is being sent to let Grady go' Hall also said, "I am trying to go all out on every snap. But alot of guys feel like everyone from the top down are kind of turning it in." Petrino denied that is the case at all.
" It had nothing to do with anything but football" the coach said. "It's just the way we wanted to go." Players feel as though the coach has given way to the young guys in expense of the veterans on the team. Hall is not buying what the coach is selling to the fans and media at all.
"If that's the case... they can probably cut me to," Hall said. "They need to cut all 53 of us. Nobody is playing the way they should be right now, obviously. I mean we're 1-6. To sit there and single out Grady is assinine. It's ridiculous."
Other players were just as stunned as Hall. RB Warrick Dunn said "It's a shock, and we are all asking the question why?" As the loses piled up TE Alge Crumpler blasted the play calling of Petrino and said that the team was focusing on the younger players and leaving the vet's out in the cold.
Hall also said this about his contract with Atlanta. I didn't just sign a lucrative deal where I can sit around and watch this ship sink," Hall said. "I can't do that. I've got one more year on my deal. I feel as though I can go out and get a ton of money, whether it's here of somewhere else. I've got a lot of stuff to play for."
One things for certain and that's if coach Petrino doesn't right the ship the team is in jepordy of losing another good player from this team. Something Atlanta can ill afford with the shots it has taken to it's roster so far this season. You can bet on one thing, when Hall's contract is up there will be plenty of teams looking to use his services. Hey Hall we sure would welcome you in New Orleans when ever you are ready to come.
The season is far from over yet. I'm sure there will be plenty more grumblings going on in the Falcons locker room. It will be interesting to see if coach Bobby Petrino can get his veterans to go along with his plan. I doubt it, so look for more Drama from Atlanta soon.
The perfect breakfast as I see it.
