Of course, he also recommended starting the Eagles fantasy D yesterday, due to the inconsistency of the Saints, so... |

Thats fine, you guys win...if he's the 'complete' washout that you all say, i will admit it & eat a shit sandwich.
But its funny how quickly its forgotten, how well he played in 06...on a piss poor D, made occasionally effective, only by the presence of Jared Allen. Sure, Jared pulled all of the heat...but Tamba was going against the best players a given NFL team could find for the right side...when he made some exciting plays & picked up 8 sacks along the way. I havent given up on the guy at his new position yet. But please, carry on. |

Clearly, he is a liability. And will a liability until this team can find someone who is better to replace him. |

As you noted, he does have an initial quick burst, perfect for a LDE against a usually less athletic slower RT. That quick burst is ineffective without the footspeed to get around the corner on the right side against the LT, however, especially if he's standing up in an OLB position. That lack of foot speed is exactly the reason he failed so miserably as the RDE. |

I saw him piling on the QB AFTER he was down so we could get a 15 yd penalty at the end of the game to keep the Raiders alive.

I'm surprised that one of Hali's most "sensible" supporters hasn't made an appearance in this thread.

The Chiefs took Hali in the first but he was widely considered to be maxed out without top end athletic gifts.

I dont think he has elite talents, he's a 'hustle & desire' player...but honestly, was KC the only team that had him valued that high? 'Lunchbucket' guys are appreciated, in certain scenarios, as much as 'upside' players right? depending on what a given coach wants at that position? |

That's fine and all but he's not the kind of guy who'd you'd look at and think 3-4 rush backer because of his lack of natural athletic talent.
