I have been really surprised by Tamba Hali's lack of production. Even though he walks and runs with his feet pointed way inward which I've always thought might be a big hinderance to him on the field, he looked so good in college I really thought he'd be productive with or without Allen. McBride, on the other hand, I still remember when we drafted him in the second round and learning of his 6.5 career college sacks and thinking wtf? His lack of production has been no surprise at all.

I seem to recall reading an article a while back that he has problems with his feet. They're wider and faltter than normal, which lead to foot problems. You'de think with the cash these guys have to spend, they'de have shoes tailor made for the guy. That combined with leg problems, a dimwit coaching the D-Line, and a head coach that had no clue, the guy never had a chance.

Tamba's strength is on the left side of the line, and hopefully they'll move Dorsey next to Tamba, then either draft or pick up a bigger DT to take Dorsey's spot. This is where Pioli comes into play and has done quite well drafting stars on the D-Line. A healthy Hali, dominant DT's, and an intelligent D-Line coach could bring his sack total as good as or better than his rookie season.

Jared Allen was responsible for making Tamba Hali (and Gunther for that matter) look better. It's no coincidence that our defense went from last to middle of the pack in lock-step with JA's progress.

Jared Allen really was/is that good. He should have gotten credit for most of Hali's sacks as well.

I'm betting he was his parents fault.

I think it was the RE position that failed Hali.He was perfect for the RE until
the RE slept with his RE waitress girlfriend...who also had a right end.

I agree with the group that has said moving Tamba to right defensive end and injury hurt him last year. I think if KC brings in a good defensive coordinator and signs or drafts a good right defense end, Tamba’s numbers will improve.
He will never be a star but he can contribute to the team. Tamba was the opposite mistake of drafting a player because of his combine numbers. His combine numbers should have been a warning. Carl fell in love with his story and his character. He is not fast enough to be a speed rusher and he is not strong enough to overpower the offensive tackle. The result is what you have with Tamba, a guy that works hard but does not have the physical tools to dominate at his position.

Leave him on LE draft another DT, DE. see where he goes 2009. then :shrug: Pioli will have to decide.

Gee, getting rid of our best pass-rusher just might have a little something to do with it, that and Hali is just going through the motions. I'd consider trading him in a heartbeat.

he sucks against the run no matter where you line him up

he's a rotational LDE that should sub on passing downs...no what you hope for with a 1st round pick, but he can still contribute if we had a DC with a brain...

It's his fault.. If you watch him he dives in every time .. he gets blocked into the pile .. Pretty simple to block him, use his weight going inside and push him into the pile ...

Hali is what he is.

He's a solid, unspectacular, LDE, who is better suited as a rotational type player.

The fact that Krumrie, ****her, and Herman ****ing Edwards decided that he had the kind of talent to play RDE just serves to illustrate how incompetent all these idiots are.

Some of us were saying that it wouldn't work as soon as we heard that Hali was being moved.

In, retrospect, I'm a genious, right?

Right?

Um, geniuses typically spell genius correctly. However, I would say you are more of an idiot savant.:)

they shouldnt have mooved him to RE. somebody told me that
