That doesn't change the fact that he is what he is - a guy who works hard to try to overcome his lack of natural talent.
Put him opposite a decent DE in a 4-3 scheme, and I think you have a guy who has a 10 year career - nothing flashy, but he's not going to kill you.
In a 3-4 scheme at OLB?
Not so much, IMO. It is what it is.

I cant buy the 'lack of talent' argument...he's not the strawman 'OMFG ALL-PRO FRANCHISE!1', player...but given time, with his work ethic & motor...dont deny the guy his right to belong in the ranks of solid OLB's.
Other coaches have to praise
something...the fact that they choose Hali shouldnt be held against him on this team.
I care about guys that care.
