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]

This is a debate about a player that's been in the NFL for 3 years and frankly sucks.
C'mon now. His fluid hips and vertical will lead him to do great things in a scheme he's never played in before. [Reply]

Sanchez hasn't even been drafted yet, and has far more upside and talent than you give him credit for.
Tamba Hali has already played in the NFL. For 3 seasons. Last season he demonstrated how pitiful he is when he doesn't have a 15-sack 4-3 DE on the other side of the line helping him out. He's PROVEN that the NFL is too big for him to find success in. Sanchez hasn't proven anything yet... might be an all-pro, he might be a bust. Whatever he is, he has far more upside in his future NFL career than Hali. [Reply]

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

The only way he'd be a stud in the 3-4 is if they told him he was back in Africa and handed him a gun and told him he could shoot the opposing players. [Reply]

As a rookie, he didn't have a 15 sack guy helping him out. You know, the year he led the Chiefs in sacks.
I am not saying he is Jared Allen. In fact, it is clear that he is not a premier DE in a 4-3.
But, I think he will be a good fit for the 3-4. [Reply]

But, but mecca says....
as usual someone said an opinion and mecca and TBG are first on scene to bash the idea. I have no idea if hali would be good or not, I know he's done good standing up before, and I know he's got the build to be an OLB in a 3-4. So of course that stands to reason that he may be able to do it. I don't care if he does or not, but it will be interesting to watch if the coaches try it.
