But its funny how quickly its forgotten, how well he played in 06...on a piss poor D, made occasionally effective, only by the presence of Jared Allen. Sure, Jared pulled all of the heat...but Tamba was going against the best players a given NFL team could find for the right side...when he made some exciting plays & picked up 8 sacks along the way.
I havent given up on the guy at his new position yet.
But please, carry on.

Tamba Hali was playing in the position he should be playing in '06.
As you noted, he does have an initial quick burst, perfect for a LDE against a usually less athletic slower RT.
That quick burst is ineffective without the footspeed to get around the corner on the right side against the LT, however, especially if he's standing up in an OLB position.
That lack of foot speed is exactly the reason he failed so miserably as the RDE.
