Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he was disheartened that his teammates did not rush to his defense as he was entangled in a scrum on the Falcons sideline last Sunday.

The NFL is reviewing the incident, in which Hall alleged that Falcons coaches, including head coach Mike Smith, tried “to get some licks in.” Hall said he’s asked the NFL to discipline the Falcons, but told WJFK radio in D.C. that he was more frustrated his teammates hadn’t come to his defense:

“Had that been anybody else I would have been the first one over there. That is kind of my makeup and that is my demeanor. You know I can’t speak for those other guys out there on the field man but whoever is out there with me I am ready to go to battle for them.”

Hall told the station that someone on the Falcons sideline was holding him in the scrum. And he alleged that a Falcons strength coach repeatedly said “you don’t want to do that.”

Said Hall:

“LaRon (Landry, Redskins safety) had already been out of the ruckus so I was trying to back away and he was grabbing me kind of pulling me saying: ‘You don’t want to do that. You don’t want to do that.’ And I was like, ‘Man, get off of me.”
