Chiefs Tamba Hali - Page 6

Has anyone seen him? His friends and family are worried.

What happened to our impact LB? The sack machine? The difference maker?

Merriman has zero sacks and is dragging that operated leg like it's been bitten by zombies.

Since he lost his deca he's looked average, now with that bad leg he looks less than average.

Tamba had a few pressures yesterday. Our linebackers as a group didn't "do" a whole lot. Tamba had a good game last week. I think if they flip flpped he and Vrabel it'd be better personally.

Why is Raji better than Jackson at this point? I didn't watch the Bengals/Packers game yesterday, but I see they put up 31 points and the Packs let Benson run for 150. Raji isn't listed as having any tackles or assists.

He's better because the Chiefs didn't draft him.

My last thought on this...if Tamba doesnt develop into a productive OLB thats still here next year, even as a backup, drag this up & beat me with it...i wont quit my job & start in with meth over it.

I disagree that he cant hack it & atleast be serviceable...we'll see.

He's going to be 26 next year. Teams still will gameplan for him because of his reputation.

He wasn't going to come back from major surgery and light the world on fire in the first 2 games. I bet by the end of the year, he'll still be in duoble digit sacks.

This team needs a feared pass rusher in the worst way.

It would probably be best for all involved if Hali was let go after the season and allowed to go somewhere more suited to his playing style. I like the guy and wish him well, but this isn't gonna work.

ferrarispider95 · 09-21-2009, 10:48 AM

He is not overly fast, but he is not overly strong either to bull rush.

Where's Tamba?

Watch the replay of the game-winning TD by McFadden, and you'll see where Tamba's at: Looking for his jock in the middle of the field, where he was COMPLETELY sucked in by the fake, leaving his outside contain totally uncovered. He didn't lose us this game, but those kinds of blown responsibilities will cost him his linebacking job.

I like the 3/4, I like the unpredictability of it, but waiting for the 4/3 guys to transition to it is gonna be painful.

Hope this doesn't come back to bite you, but I know you won't run from it.

The UFL?

I remember when that guy last year wanted to bet me that he'd get 10 sacks last year...he's not going to get that in 2 seasons combined.

**MahiMike** · 09-21-2009, 06:38 PM

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.

**DeezNutz** · 09-21-2009, 06:39 PM

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