I agree that D-Hall still makes some mistakes, but it sounds like Mora felt like the touchdown to Minnesota wasn't Hall's fault.
"Q: DeAngelo Hall was upset at the touchdown late in the game. Mora: He's got pride. First of all, I wasn't upset with him because we were blitzing. When I coached the secondary, I anyways told the corners to jump the first move on a blitz. You are not responsible for the second move, the rush is responsible for the second move. The guy ran a slant and go on him. When he walked into the locker room after the game, I said 'from now until the end of your career, always jump the slant on a blitz. That one doesn't belong to you. That one belongs to either the scheme not being good enough to get a guy free, or to the guys up front for not rushing with either the correct attitude or taking the correct path.' Now, I haven't seen the play and I am not trying to blame anybody, but I am just saying the DeAngelo should have jumped that route. Otherwise you are playing soft all the time. I was glad that he was pissed. He's a competitive little sucker. He doesn't like to lose. He doesn't like to lose a down. He especially doesn't like to lose a game."
