How was McBride? I just got to listen to the game, but he did make a play or two I think. While I had doubts about Hali making the move, I really can't believe McBride can line up at OLB.

Anyone keep an eye on him?

WOW. You are ALWAYS right.

Who else will flourish, and who's will fail?

Oh Guardian, please return again sometime soon, and tell us all about how you were right about something that no one remembers you saying in the past.

We will all marvel at how there's is no way we can disagree with you, because we weren't listening to you in the first place.

You are wise.

Solid enough against the run but abysmal rushing the passer.

Actually, I'm going to give The Guardian props here, because he did say that Tamba would be fine in the transition.

I don't think that Tamba has been outstanding, but he has played well enough to suggest that the transition isn't a failed experiment, as I, and many others, said it would be.

It's not a finished project, so the jury isn't out yet, but so far it appears that The Gaurdian was right.

Actually, I remember him saying it.

McBride can line up at OLB but that's where it ends. If Hali gets hurt there is no plan B. We're razor thin depth wise all over the field. Legget might be our only legit backup on the whole damn team.

Maybe Beisel also, that's it.

That is my thought as well, give the front 7 guys 4-6 games to gel and watch out.

nearly every play I saw of Hali was him begging absorbed by blockers. On pass rush situation, he was handled very well by the OL; doesn't seem to have any moves to confuse the OL.

I'd say was was average. He didn't do anything to stand out.

ou know i believe he DID say that, many times. you could probably run a search and find the posts...

he still lacks a second move while pass rushing
just like last year

Early in the game I saw Hali do a power swim move and the move beat the tackle, but Hali stumbled as he was rounding the off-balance o-lineman.

Needs more work, but he's definitely making progress.

Hali had one good year .. since then he gets blocked into the pile 95% of the time ...

i think we will get about 3 sacks out of Tom Bailey

The question remains,

is he going to get to the quarterback?

search...why bother.... spouting off is more fun :rolleyes:
