Hello everyone, Jeremy Shoemaker here as we were able to sit down with Palm Beach Rookie Tight End Zach Hall.
JS: So let's get this started Zach as we have many questions to ask you. First how did it feel to play your first professional game.
ZH: It felt amazing Shoe. I've always dreamed of playing this game at a higher level and going out and putting on the orange for the first time was just so surreal. It's a moment I'll never forget.
JS: Now we have to ask you about your teams performance. An 0 and 4 start is rough isn't it? What going on in Palm Beach?
ZH: Well it feels awful y'know. I get we are an expansion team and all but we are to good and have to many good guys in the locker room to not win a game yet. We go to practice, we watch the film, we're doing everything we're told but it's just not clicking right now. But I think that is about to change.
JS: What about your performance? You have 9 catches for 84 yards in the first 4 games?
ZH: Look I'm doing the best with what I got. I made 4 big catches inmy first game, broke one off for 18 yards and really felt a good connection with my boy Helmet but then in week 2 and 3, I only had 1 target each. I mean I can only do so much. I feel like im getting open but the plays just aren't there. I did get 3 catches in the first half in week 4 but then they quit throwing to me in the second half when the game was still close.
JS: Are you saying Helmet isn't throwing to you?
ZH: No not at all, Helmet is my boy and He's doing what he can back there but I feel like the gameplan is designed away from me. Like we had a 3rd and 10 when we were down 7 against Norfolk in the 4th and for reason we did a drive up the middle that was stopped Immediately. That doesn't win games Shoe. That doesn't win at all.
JS: So the coaches aren't out their to win?
ZH: I'm sure they are but it's just some decisions aren't paying off. I mean damn we're 0 and 4 obviously we got to mix things up. Dives up the middle when you're down in the 4th aren't how winners win y'know.
At this point Hall's advisor pulled him away from the set and we could no longer ask any questions.
We will see what comes from the young TE after his remarks today. As it stands currently Hall is 3rd among TEs in yardage, 4th in receptions, but he does lead all TEs in YPC with 9.3 so he may have a case to give him more opportunities.
We will watch his next games closely to see if there are any changes in Palm Beach.
