Statistical analysis: DeAngelo Hall has been quiet on the field for Redskins

For all the talking DeAngelo Hall does off the field, his play has been quiet on it. Hall has yet to make any notable plays. He has just 0.09 +WPA, 3.1 +EPA, and just two passes defended, well below average for a starting cornerback on all accounts. He leads the team’s four corners in tackles with 11, and only 2 of them are ”successes,” meaning offenses have completed a lot of passes in his direction.
