Hali, while a good story, is hardly someone whom opponents have to gameplan for.

Again, a 'different' definition. See how this works. We all define these terms a bit differently.
Some people consider a franchise QB a far lesser accomplishment than I do. I consider a franchise player, a guy like that, be it on offense or defense.
But, even at your definition.... if you haven't noticed, Hali is the one on this defense that the offense game plans for. I can tell by looking at the games, but even the coaches and players admit it.
For the record, Hali isn't a 'franchise' player in my mind. He isn't a dominating player. He is just a good player that is a starter on most teams and is not needing replacement. I wouldn't mind seeing him on the other side. I wouldn't mind having a truly explosive pass rusher where he is now.... but even at his current OLB spot, he can be very effective.... and a solid piece of the foundation of this defense.
