ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall says he knows what his team needs to do to win: have him cover each opponent’s top receiver.
Hall says Monday it doesn’t matter what Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett thinks because, Hall says, “This is my team; this is my defense.”
Washington allowed Houston’s Matt Schaub to throw for 497 yards and three touchdowns in the Texans’ 30-27 overtime victory Sunday.
That included a game-tying, 34-yard scoring pass to Andre Johnson on fourth-and-10 with 2:03 left in regulation. Cornerback Phillip Buchanon and safety Reed Doughty were in coverage; Hall was lined up on the other side of the field.
“Won’t happen like that again,” Hall says. “If Andre Johnson’s out there, I’m going to be out there.”
