Hall played some in the 2nd half.
Hall surely gave his all but most of the game Dalman at RG and Herbig at RT
Little missed his man completely on one play. Certainly not on Costello
Be happy we won
Bob, I'm not trying to argue here, but Hall did not start the game. The graphic introducing the starting lineups showed Hall starting, but in reality Herbig started at RT and Dalman RG. You can go see the video. Hall started and played the whole second half. That too can be seen on the video.
It seems possible they sat Hall in the first half to give him rest and limit his snaps. But the reality also is they didn't really do any downfield passing until Hall was in the game. Whether this means anything is anyone's guess. I was quite concerned about Herbig in pass protection, but he seemed to acquit himself fairly well.
Yes, I saw what OF saw - ABC’s graphic was wrong. But there was one additional nuance. Herbig started at RT but Hall came in on the third play of the game (IIRC) when we were in an obvious 3rd down passing situation. Then we barely saw him until the 2nd half.
My early interpretation was that we like Hall best in pass-pro but didn’t like his run-blocking (which could be based on the nature of his injury).
Then Hall played the whole 2nd half, when everyone knew we were mostly going to be passing anyway.
Of course, it’s hard to know all the details...
