He's a very good player and with the improvement in the team and run defense, he'll have a ton more pass rushing opportunities. It's hard to rack up the sacks when the team is giving up eleventy billion rushing yards and being behind every week like has happened the last several years.

Hali is a solid player and has played for awhile.

Skyy God · 09-29-2010, 09:39 AM

Hali's issue has always been finishing. Tons of QB pressures but relatively few sacks. As an OLB, he's playing at a lighter weight, which should help him finish off plays.

I expect, given this is his 2nd year at OLB, him to have a 12-14 sack year.

Chiefnj2 · 09-29-2010, 09:43 AM

What'll help Hali, or any other OLB, the most is a front 3 that demand double teams. Hali had pressures but not as many sacks as possible last year because opposing QB's could move up, back or to the side and not have any other pressure.

I've said it all along, Hali could have 14 sacks this season and dipshits like Dane will still rag on him. All the while having their lips fastened to Jared Allen's pubic bone, who is Casper in big games.

Were did I "rag" on him?

You need to work on your reading comprehension, reerunian.

He's done a good job of proving people wrong showing he can actually play standing..I still think his best spot is as the complimentary rusher and not the main rusher though.

I love what Hali has done, and he has exceeded my expectations but I agree, and think his best work has come at the expense of RTs. A premier pass rusher at ROLB would turn Hali, and our defense in general in a monster IMHO.

I think Frankie wanted Staley...but it was generally the handful of OL backers that it usually is.

That's possible.

Point being, I don't recall many people pining for Staley.

IIRC, most were looking at Okoye, Bowe and Meachem.
