Redskins' DeAngelo Hall seeks meeting with Roger Goodell after ejection

• Fiery cornerback kicked out of game after yelling at head linesman Dana McKenzie
• Mike Shanahan 'very disappointed' in one of his defensive captains
• Hall says he and his agent are trying to meet with commissioner to discuss incident

PITTSBURGH — DeAngelo Hall was so hot as he vented to an official during the fourth quarter at Heinz Field that teammates had to hold him back.

And that still didn't prevent the Washington Redskins cornerback from getting ejected.

Hall was tossed as he went after head linesman Dana McKenzie to express himself after winding up on the turf at the end of a play. It appeared that Hall may have been set off after having his facemask yanked by Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

In any event, Hall was flagged 15 yards unsportsmanlike conduct. Then after circling back and resisting teammates, he was penalized another 15 yards and ejected.

This didn't go over well with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan.

"I'm very disappointed," Shanahan said. "We talk all the time about keeping your composure regardless of what happens, regardless of what the situation is. You never put yourself in that type of situation."

It is unclear exactly what Hall said to McKenzie.

"But it was enough to draw a flag," Shanahan said.

Hall wouldn't shed much light on what transpired, either, when he met reporters at his locker following the game.

"Questions on the football aspects of the game," he began. "I'm not going to discuss that particular play. I've got a meeting set up with Commissioner (Roger) Goodell on Monday. (We) will talk about it, watch the film, figure out what went down, and hopefully get to the bottom of this."

When informed by USA TODAY Sports that NFL headquarters will be closed on Monday in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy, Hall said, "Well, we're going to figure something out. I've got my agent calling them and trying to set something up."

It is likely that Hall, a team captain, will be fined for the incident. It doesn't appear that he touched McKenzie.

The peacekeeper teammates who restrained Hall, including linebacker London Fletcher, might have prevented Hall from doing something that might have resulted in a suspension.

As he tried to calm Hall, Fletcher tried to reason with him.

"I just was just telling him, at that point in time, he wasn't going to win that battle," Fletcher said. "They had already thrown two penalties. I just didn't want the situation to get any worse for him."
