We should have Vrabel threads not Hali threads, at least there is a logical argument for Hali being on the team.

Vrabel there is not, dude ****ing sucks.

Just the same as he's always gotten a lot of pressures without that many sacks.

He is what he is, it's probably time to accept he's roughly a 10 sack guy who'll get a lot of pressures and not finish as much as you like while being a liability in the run game.

I'd agree for the most part, I think he has a ceiling of about 15 sacks. A true NT should help, as would a legit LOLB. Not saying he'd be a world beater, but the QB would get away less often just for the simple fact that he's got less places to go. He does need to work on finishing though.

I don't think Hali needs an argument. Vrabel though is a high character guy who can help sell the Patriot way from the inside. Maybe a narc too, who knows. Outside of that, if he can help anyone develop, it would be Studebaker. He's pretty much the exact same mold as Vrabel. High motor, highly intelligent guy with a huge heart. And, he's white.
