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. [Reply]

Tamba Hali a stud in a 3-4?
I can't stop laughing.
Just remember this during the upcoming season. Hey, I may be dead wrong. But, I think it will be far closer to me than you. [Reply]

Yea just like the guy who wanted to bet Hali would get 10 sacks this year too...if you put Hali out there at OLB you are going to get absolutely killed. He's slow and stiff he couldn't hang with a FB in coverage. [Reply]

Based on what exactly?
A DE, who is often injured, who is too slow to play in coverage as an OLB, and has never had high sack totals?
You think he's going to be a stud in a scheme he's never played in before?
When we cut his ass, will you leave this board for good? [Reply]

Second, there is no way the Chiefs will tell him to add weight and play end.
They covet guys who don't fit their scheme properly?

So you are calling them dumb?
No, they knew better than to draft Sanchez... so, definitely not dumb.
I think you are dumb for not thinking that Hali will fit the scheme. But, then again, you thought Sanchez was worth the #3 pick... so, I guess I should take your opinions with a grain of salt. [Reply]

Yeah, I'm sure they'd never do that. I mean, it's not like he played DT at Penn State, or like he struggled with both pass rushing and against the run at DE in the pros. I mean, it's like he's a carbon copy of Shawne "roidman" Merriman. [Reply]
I'm sorry you can spout any view you want but acting like Tamba Hali will excel in the 3-4 is like thinking Chad Pennington would be great in a downfield passing attack.
Seriously anyone that has watched Hali for more than 10 minutes should be able to quickly look at you and tell you there's no way he can play OLB.
Guess actually watching someone is to much to ask. [Reply]
