Mike Shanahan says his captains need to keep their cool.
The Washington Redskins coach was referring to DeAngelo Hall's rough day in a 34-27 loss to the New England Patriots.
The cornerback and defensive co-captain gave up early on a play that turned into a 49-yard gain after a catch by tight end Rob Gronkowski. Hall later drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for disrespectfully tossing an official's flag to protest a defensive holding call.
Shanahan said Monday that players in leadership roles have to handle themselves ''in a professional manner.''
The loss dropped the Redskins to 4-9. They visit the New York Giants on Sunday.

After calling DeAngelo Hall out last week for pulling a Haynesworth against the Jets, I feel obligated to post what he did yesterday against the Patriots:
As you can plainly see, Hall just stood there as Reed Doughty and DeJon Gomes struggled to bring Rob Gronkowski to the ground. Of course they failed, and Gronkowski made every highlight reel by rumbling another 30 yards before...

In a game where offense reigned supreme, it made sense that each end zone of FedEx Field still had the words “Army” and “Navy” spelled out from the college game the day before. For in true college football style, both the Patriots and Redskins defenses had a hard time stopping much of anything. Finding offensive plays that seemed to turn the tide would be...

I thought I had Shank's next column pegged with the previous post. I was thinking Shank would zig when instead he zagged and instead climbed aboard the Rob Gronkowski bandwagon:LANDOVER, Md. - Twenty-two-year-old tight end Rob Gronkowski has emerged as everybody’s favorite Patriot. Sure, that guy Brady’s OK, but Gronk is the man-child who catches everything, sheds tacklers...
