3. If he starts to look like an ascending player and we learn his struggles were indeed due to injury, I'll eat my appropriate serving of crow. I won't be hard to find and I won't dodge the abuse.
I think Hali struggles because he lacks the necessary explosion, overall speed, strength, etc. In short, he's a max-effort guy who lacks the type of elite athleticism necessary to be an impact player.
I give him credit for being an NFL player, just not one you'd be happy having drafted in round 1.

Well, I have went on record as saying that Hali will be a good player as an OLB in the 3-4.
I will have to take far more abuse than you if I am wrong, because I am clearly in the minority on here about my assessment of Hali.
I am okay with that. It makes it fun. I don't like to just go along with the crowd. I like to post stuff that I think that is contrary to the crowd.
So, that obviously leaves me open for criticism when I am wrong. And, of course I will be wrong... who isn't?
