Just watched Hali and Croyle in the Senior Bowl.

I like him. I think he will be tons better than Hicks. I think that he and Allen will create real headaches for offensive coordinators. He may be raw when it comes to experience but he has shown a propensity for the game. And he brings a relentless attitude to our defense that has been sorely missing. Hali's passion will be a needed spark for a Chiefs' defense destined for vast improvement.

That sounds better. I just don't watch Penn State games, and Hali was such a non-factor in the Senior Bowl. No pass rush, no factor vs the run, nothing. Stoned at the point of first contact on nearly every play.

I was expecting to see something more like Jared Allen, where Hali would at least be pressuring the QB nearly everytime. Instead he looked like one of our many DT's. No push, no nothing.
