Do you think Leon Hall makes the final roster?

NYRiese : 8/31/2016 12:45 am
Does he have any serious competition at slot CB?
He hasnt looked good  
est1986 : 8/31/2016 1:14 am : link
But he should make it. DRC JJ ELI HALL WADE.
I would have to say no  
GeorgeAdams33 : 8/31/2016 1:21 am : link
Jenkins, DRC & Apple should all be on the field before Hall. Your backup DBs need to contribute on special teams. I would like to keep Wade, Deayon, & Hunter around for awhile to see if they can develop into good pros. We might be able to keep Hall if we stash a couple of guys on the practice squad, but that leaves us with no special teams contributions from our top four CBs. I would not make Apple play on ST because he is going to be needed out there on defense far too often.
Hall makes it

Veteran slot corner.

Unless he has an injury?
yes  
KWALL2 : 8/31/2016 2:32 am : link
unless he doesn't.



From his performance...  
Ed A. : 8/31/2016 3:33 am : link
up to now, I would say no also. I believe GeorgeAdams nailed it, I would like to see them also.
He strugled in the slot last week before the concusion  
JFIB : 8/31/2016 7:36 am : link
I would like to see more of DD there before giving LH the starting nod.
He may not  
ZogZerg : 8/31/2016 7:42 am : link
This wouldn't be the first time we signed a vet that looked like a sure lock for a roster spot and was cut before the final 53.
Definitely, for the following reasons...  
Capt. Don : 8/31/2016 7:51 am : link
He has versatility. He can play inside, outside and some FS.

By all accounts he is a great locker room presence.

DRC will miss some time this year.

Will shake things out either his play or others

I don't think Hall has been cleared from the Concussion Protocol.
Yes

He hasn't had that much practice time so you have to take  
robbieballs2003 : 8/31/2016 8:19 am : link
That into consideration. He was brought in for a reason. He provides versaltility and veteran leadership. As of now, I would keep him because the bottom of our CB depth chart is not that great. I would rather have a guy who has been there and done that than a guy with limited upside who is younger. We have had some nice stories at the bottom of the roster but they are seriously flawed and if they have to play meaningful snaps then their weaknesses will definitely be exploited.

The Giants DB wears number 33, just like former RB George Adams did, but his name is actually Andrew Adams.

AcidTest : 8/31/2016 8:31 am : link
guess is he does, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not sure he should. GeorgeAdams33 correctly notes that he doesn't play ST, and you need that from your backup DBs.
He would be solid depth  
Ten Ton Hammer : 8/31/2016 8:34 am : link
better than Trevin Wade or Hunter. I'm not in a hurry to rush him out the door for any reason. More than likely, they're going to need the 4th or 5th corner on the roster to play at some point.
They're most likely going to keep 6 CBs  
JonC : 8/31/2016 8:34 am : link
and Hall is one of the top 6, with some mention of him subbing at SS in a pinch.
I think so  
Greg from LI : 8/31/2016 8:34 am : link
They're already going to have a rookie in the top three. I think they want an experienced guy as the 4th CB.
Hall will stick  
gmen9892 : 8/31/2016 8:46 am : link
He is still working his way back into football shape and he is a veteran presence. You can never have enough CB's as we have seen in the past. No reason to cut him now.
He's a lock, imv.  
Big Blue '56 : 8/31/2016 9:08 am : link
Still getting his sealegs
Who do you keep instead  
BillT : 8/31/2016 9:08 am : link
Both Wade and Deayon? Adams? Hard to see them doing that.

I like McFadden over Wade and Deayon. Good chance they carry 6 CBs btw.

Pete in MD : 8/31/2016 9:41 am : link
be another spot when DRC gets released ;-)
DRC  
Marty866b : 8/31/2016 10:34 am : link
Why are we so anxious to get rid of him? He still is the best corner on the team and it isn't even close. I know his problem is staying on the field but you can't have enough good cover corners.
DRC  
JonC : 8/31/2016 10:42 am : link
is a next offseason topic.
Marty, I don't think Pete was being serious.  
Klaatu : 8/31/2016 10:45 am : link
Note the smiley face in his post.
Is anyone really 100% safe?  
Jimmy Googs : 8/31/2016 10:55 am : link
except for Herzlich...
It is Likely That  
OntheRoad : 8/31/2016 11:42 am : link
Hall is ahead of Wade and McFadden on ability and Deayon on experience.

Sorry.....  
Ed A. : 8/31/2016 1:19 pm : link
That comment should have followed the last comment. However, Adams did look good to me.

Yeah, that's a BBI joke from a few weeks ago.
I want to say yes (as I just posted in my other thread)  
Mike in Long Beach : 8/31/2016 1:33 pm : link
but the James Jones saga last year scares me away from believing productive veterans will make the team.

I agree he looks slow and old.
