Does anyone know Vrabel's 40 time?
I personally believe that Tamba Hali will be an absolute stud in the 3-4 defense. I think he is similar to Mike Vrabel in that he never gives up on a play. He is very active and gives himself fully to the cause.
I have read that Hali is 'too slow'. Does anyone know what Vrabel's 40 yard dash time was? Or any of his drills? I am just wondering how they stack up to Hali's. |

Depends on whether he uses his Rascal, Segway, or Pride personal mobility device.

Tamba Hali gets beat by QB's around the end...if you think he can play OLB in a 3-4 I feel bad for you the guy is a marginal starter in a 4-3 defense let alone a 3-4 defense.
I'm ready to be rid of the guy. 40 time or not Tamba Hali plays slow. |

Here is some draft info on Hali if anyone wants to look at it. They reference him being capable of playing LB in a 3-4.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...yers/4660.html
He was a disappointment last year on defense, but who wasn't? You go from 7.5 sacks in 2007 to 3 in 08 and its natural for people to think you've slipped. Not having Allen on the other side certainly allows offenses to load up the line against your only real pass rusher. For those who say its time for him to go, get real. That is foolish talk, you don't just get rid of a guy just because of one year, especially not a first round draft pick when you already got rid of the defensive coordinator. Everyone on defense underachieved, you can't make excuses for Dorsey and not for Hali, who has proven more at this point than Dorsey. |

I think he's a great backup. But that's it. Definitely not living up to his potential (or at least where he was drafted...)

Whether you like him or not, he plays till the whistle unlike many NFL players.

Wow. The 40 time of a 12 year vet.
Welker's 40 time is pretty slow too. Pats should probably cut him... |

By the way, I guess the Chiefs saw Sanchez more like I did than like you did. It is nice to see the Chiefs making smart moves. |

40 times are nice, but they're not useful for evaluating current NFL players, really. |

Turned out to be an EXTREMELY good football player. 40 times are just a measuring device to try to help assess a player that you're projecting into the NFL from college. They're not very useful for evaluating existing NFL players.

The point was to compare it to Hali.
