That tackle he missed against Buffalo was dreadful, I would never expect an elite OLB to miss that bad.
Flowers is still the Chiefs best defensive player.

I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and was later thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills, or wherever. Sometimes when I get a text message on my phone, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts.
I also don't get the idea the people can judge the performance of a player like Hali in these terms. How is it possible that a fan can know what responsibilities an OLB has on any given play? Is he supposed to cover? If so, who? Is he supposed to play the run gap? If so, which one? Is he supposed to rush the passer? Is it supposed to be a stunt? Take the outside angle? Freelance based on the tackle's first move?
All I know is that Hali has no quit in him, apparently. That, and he stayed home on a reverse to his side yesterday when everybody else was sucking on Erick Hicks lozenges.
He's handled the move to OLB pretty darn well, in my view ... probably as well as anyone could under the circumstances. Therefore, I hereby award Tamba Hali the Big Gbanga Award in recognition of his patented quarterback smash move.
