Interesting little quip on Rotoworld about Tamba Hali
This is according to the KC Star. Pretty damning if true...
Tamba Hali-DL- Chiefs Jan. 30 - 11:45 pm et An unnamed NFL player told the K.C. Star that his team's entire game plan one week in 2007 was to run directly at Chiefs DE Tamba Hali. Hali is productive by the numbers, but his strength has been questioned from day one in the NFL. It seems he has a long way to go versus the run. The Chiefs definitely can't allow free agent RE Jared Allen to get away. Letting the double teams Allen draws go to Hali's side could be a disaster.

Hmm a stud DT in the middle would help that, cough Sedrick Ellis cough.

Having Ellis on the line on Tambas side should help with all of that

Hali will no doubt have to improve his run stopping ability.

Has there ever been a young DE in the NFL that hasn't had his run stopping ability questioned?
In any case, if he has a hole in his game, it's probably not strength, it's probably the same one JA has: overpursuit. |

JA improved in the run game and I'm confident Hali can, too. A rookie stud DT would also help the D-line as well.

Run toward Hali to run away from Allen?

I like the idea of Ellis. Heck if we are about to PAY Jared Allen, we best help him by upprading the dline.

It's not like when the Chiefs ran at D. Sanders because he couldn't tackle.

Wow. Shocking.
Who would you rather run at? A healthy Jared Allen, or Tamba Hali on one leg? You don't have to be Belichick to figure this riddle out....... |

so.... would all hell break loose if we put Ellis on the same side as Jared Allen? I mean surely they cant double team both of them on one side of the line....

Something we will be able to do if we have ellis as well, that we dont do now, is have awesome stunts for th DT and DE's, like some wicked twists so the DT goes outside while JA blows past the confused guard and mauls the sonofabitch playing QB.
