I was just looking up Tamba's 40 time and he ran a 4.75... but what stuck out to me is he was projected as a 2nd round pick and #47 overall. To his(or the Chiefs) credit he was ranked the #3 DE though.

Hali's workouts were not impressive at all, it was major topic how he killed his stock with them.

Your guy sucked... mine is much better. :D

My guy made a pro bowl...

To this date, Cromartie has had one good season - and we didn't have a chance to draft him anyway.

Tamba Hali will be a failure of epic proportions at OLB.

Holtus thinks he is going to shine as a stand up pass rusher in the new D.

Cromartie was on the trading block this past season. And the guy is terrible in man coverage. He had one year where he grabbed a lot of picks, but this past season the guy was beat more than a dirty rug. Deltha O'Neal had a year where he had a bunch of picks. He was never worth a shit at man coverage though, and never is Cromartie.

Second, I've said unequivocally that I don't expect Tamba to ever be a defensive player of the year or a 15 sack type guy, but some of you talk about him as if he's the worst defensive lineman in the league and it's silly. The guy had 15.5 sacks and 8 forced fumbles his first two seasons and then after a season where he struggled with injuries and a position change he's worthless? It's silly, and that's what I am pointing out.

It's funny how Tamba takes a beating around here yet it's Derrick Johnson that has been a far bigger disappointment. Johnson was talked about as a top 5 selection and a "can't miss prospect" coming out of the draft yet the guy never shows up in shape, can't read a pre-snap offense, doesn't get into position properly, and doesn't play consistently hard. Yet he seems to get a bit of a pass. I've never seen a linebacker flop around like a fish the way he does at the snap of the ball because he's confused about where the play is going. If anyone is having a make or break season it's that stiff.

Oh and big words offend you Mecca then maybe you should go get an education.

No it won't because Curry will be our pick.

plenty of us are hard on johnson


hehe

I just can't get real excited having a DC that was FIRED from the AZ CARDINALS.

I know they went SB, but still it's just the thought.

And how does taking an ILB affect Hali's status?

The guy you wanted wasn't even available at our pick. What's your point?

I wanted the Chiefs to draft Peyton Manning too.

Stop it. Perspective is not allowed here.

I agree 100% Nothing special about his coaching career.
