he was brought up because of the tweener comparisons needing to learn more skills to be an OLB in a 3-4 and someone like Curry needing to learn skills to be a better prospect too. If you read the thread, without just reading his name, you'd know that. No one said "overly Athletic" about Hali here in this thread. Just about teaching someone coverage skills or rushing skills.
But since it's a topic;

Tamba has really came into his own as a senior and is very versatile player with experience at defensive tackle position as well as dropping into coverage

Hali is best when given room to roam. He has an excellent closing burst and the redirection skills to make plays working down the line. He shows very good acceleration when dropping off to level two and showed in 2005 that he greatly improved his pass rush burst and rip-and-swim moves. He is an all-out hustler who can make plays in space on a consistent basis. He gets a quick push off the snap and while he certainly needs to shed better, he comes off the edge with good urgency

Is a versatile player who spentmost of his time at PSU at the power-end position (LDE) but also hassome experience dropping into coverage on zone blitzes, as well asmoving inside as a situational interior pass rusher.
