What he does have is work ethic and a motor. Those two things will get you 5-8 sacks a year and a solid starting role on an average defense. Combine those two things with actual talent and you get Jared Allen, who IS the dominant player many of you seem to think Hali is.
This defense has sucked so bad for so long, you guys are salivating over mediocrity.

I see Hali as a great guy to have on the team that will be a good mentor to the guy we draft to take his position. Actually you can never have enough pass rushers though so maybe Hali and two other OLBs not yet on the team would give us a nice rotation where our pass rushers stay fresh. I hope we don't think we have our ROLB position covered because Hali has proven just adequate. I like the guy but he's A V G.
