I can remember a lot of those quotes (that occurred after the transition) being responses to my posts.
But, yeah, before the transition I was all kinds of fail on him as well. I liked him a lot as a LDE but never thought he could transition to the LOLB spot. The only defense of Hali I remember offering (before the transition) was showing his similarity to Ware and a couple other elite OLBs in 3-4 defenses as far as shuttle times and other agility/change of direction drills in which he times very well. Overall, I too thought he would fail though. Short arms, not a lot of power/strength etc.
Once we played a few games though, I knew I had missed badly and started backing him consistently. Mostly against the grain, as usual for me I guess.
Its nice to have a few players that are starting to play as well as anyone in the NFL again. Its been awhile.
