Whatever you have to tell yourself. Funny how NFL scouts, coaches and players take notice..... but the all knowing Chiefs planet board is just sure he sucks.

This coming from a group of guys that would jiz to just step foot on an NFL field.... priceless.

Pretty much. I give some guys credit for admitting they were wrong, but a lot of the same people just keep going on and on about how he sucks yet every week his name is the first to come up from opposing offensive players. The comeback to that is "well of course he's the best of 11 turds" or something of that nature but it's just deflection. Hali has been very solid and has even looked fine in pass coverage situations.

I stand by my statement that if he were rushing against the right tackle every week he'd be a 10+ sack guy. Even coming across from the left tackle he still looks like he's going to be in that 7-9 sack range this season.

I think he hits double digits this year. The Chiefs have played the strongest part of their schedule, and I think game situations will improve his chances.

Of course, then, he will just be a below average double digit sack guy.
