REDSKINS NOTEBOOK Sparks fly between 'Skins' Hall, Falcons REDSKINS REPORT CARD
Redskins notebookDate published: 11/9/2009 By RICH CAMPBELL BY RICH CAMPBELL ATLANTA --DeAngelo Hall said last week that he was cool with Mike Smith.Not anymore. Hall, the Washington Redskins' top cornerback, made a rousing return to his former home stadium in yesterday's 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was booed loudly during player introductions, and he got into a skirmish with Smith, the Falcons' head coach, on the Atlanta sideline. The situation deteriorated after Redskins free safety LaRon Landry hit Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan out of bounds on the Falcons sideline late in the second quarter. Landry was flagged for a personal foul, and several Falcons surrounded him. Hall was chasing the play and ended up in a shoving match with several players. Smith intervened and engaged Hall in a brief pushing match. Hall was not penalized on the play. "He put his hands on me in a harmful way, talking about how he's going to kick my [butt] and all this other [stuff], and that ain't how you do things," Hall said of Smith. "It's a different story if he's coming in there to break a fight up." Smith insisted that he didn't know it was Hall. "There were a bunch of guys on that sideline," he said. "Some of them were wearing black helmets and some of them were wearing maroon helmets. I can't tell you anything about it. It was very, very hectic on that sideline. There were a lot of things going on, and my main goal was for the safety of our football team and restoring order."
