Though he didn't have a great statistical rookie season, Derick Hall has catapulted off a strong offseason to emerge as one of the Seahawks most improved players.
RENTON, Wash. - If stat sheets serve as the only real means for player evaluation in the NFL, Derick Hall's rookie season for theDespite playing in all 17 games, Hall didn't generate a single sack and per Pro Football Focus, he produced a mere 11 pressures and a pedestrian 7.6 percent pass rush win rate.
Of course, Hall understands that his performance, like any edge defender who wants to make their mark and set themselves up for a big pay day on a second contract, will be scrutinized most on his ability to harass quarterbacks and tally sacks, something he didn't do near well enough in his first NFL campaign.
"You see one thing on tape and when you get to the game, it's completely different thing," Hall explained. "It's like 'okay, he gives up this' but you get to the game they really sharpen that tool or maybe he just had an off week. Film was pretty consistent, but you see games guys are like getting beat on certain things like, 'okay, well, let me try to have something to prepare for that.' And then it isn't what you expect.
"I think sometimes you still get those tendencies, from guys who don't pay that much attention to it. Obviously, the higher level guys like Trent and all those guys, they're going to be more honed in and more profound with those techniques. But you still get those tendencies," Hall remarked.
Hall's emergence has also been aided by playing in coach Mike Macdonald's scheme, which aligns well to his strengths as a combo outside linebacker who can rush the passer in a two-point stance or with his hand in the ground while also having enough athleticism to be able to drop into coverage on zone blitzes and simulated pressures when called upon.
