He's a guy that plays football. Regardless, why is it "wrong" to talk about his play? This is a football forum, correct? |

Didn't say it was wrong. I simply said that you guys get off on any thread that is designed to badmouth a player. It's proven just about every thread on this board. It's fine, I'm just saying that it is very predictable. No one would even have to open this thread and would know who would be dominating the thread with their same rhetoric.

It's a matter of being able to recognize whether or not someone is suited to play a particular position and if so, excel or suck at said position. No one is saying that Hali doesn't work hard. That would be ludicrous. The guy has the heart of a champion. But, he's flat-footed, not particularly quick, fleet or fast. He doesn't move his hips well and is clueless in coverage. He's not nifty enough to get past an average offensive tackles (much less an elite tackle) and he doesn't have any instincts to speak of, meaning he doesn't read and react well. Now, if you want to take all of those things as a positive, be my guest. I'll take them at face value, thank you. |

It's football forum. We don't have much to praise. Let's tear a few guys apart. You know, for fun! We don't have much else to talk about when it comes to the Chiefs. "Hey, did you see that Beisel guy today!". Nope. Doesn't work. |

Hali is not explosive...he doesn't move people...he usually just engages and gets tied up
nice guy, hard worker...that's it we literally need 4-6 new lbs....i'm not sure we even have backup quality players on our roster right now...ok, a bit of hyperbole, but not much |

He abused Gaither at least 3 times last week, one resulting in a sack and 2 resulting in holding (tackles from behind) to save Flacco. Jared Gaither is a very good/elite LT. |

Gaither's a second year starter that's still finding his way. He was a fifth round supplemental pick and he's on an offensive line with like four other first round choices. I'd hardly refer to him as "elite". |

You don't think Gaither is a very good LT? Alright. We definitely disagree about this. He started 15 games last year and gave up 3 sacks. At 23 years old.
