I was never a big fan of the Hali pick. Actually, I didn't like the Pollard pick either, though right now, I don't think it was a complete whiff. I think our drafting has improved quite a bit since 2006, thank god.

No, I get that.
It was pretty well established that Hali had pretty much reached his ceiling, where the coaching has failed is that Hali has regressed.
He was much better as a rookie than he is now, and while that can be attributed, in part, to injuries, it also can be blamed on coaching.
He does the one thing that you can always count on from ****her defenders.
He sucks at tackling.
As a rookie, he was a solid tackler.
