Babb: Chiefs' Hali is quietly racking up sacks

I don't really expect Hali to get a sack every game if that's what you mean by "consistently." Even Jared Allen didn't do that.

Come on.

He had eight sacks last year, which equates to .5 per game.

The most he's had in one year is 10.

He's a great dude with a nonstop motor but he is NOT James Harrison or any number of consistent, double digit OLB's.

I'm happy he's a Chief because without him, they'd have NO pass rush.

But let's Be Real here.

I'd say we don't know what he'll do this year. He hasn't played on a good run defense since '06, and he was a rookie then.

He's going to have a lot more opportunities this season.

I like how they are moving him around and puting him on the opposite side too make plays. That's gonna make it much more difficult for the offense to account for him.

Keep it up Hali good job.

Wait for Belcher to start wreaking havic along with Hali. Oh wait they both did on sunday **** YEA!!!!


Hoping to see Studebaker join the fun....

I voted for him to have 10-11 sacks in this defense.

IF he had a young pass rushing specialist like Orakpo, Cushing or Matthews opposite, he'd have more.

He's a gamer and a worker. It's too bad his motor and football knowledge are greater than his physical attributes.

We should be proud of you, I guess. I mean, in the 2009 offseason, Hali didn't have the talent to be a 3-4 OLB. Now, you are at least happy to have him.

Sacks come in bunches. Jared Allen currently has 1 sack through three games. I guess he is finished?

Sacks are a combination of having talent around you and often getting a lead. Hali has had very little of that anytime recently.

I think he will finish with double digit sacks for the first time in his career. And, if the Chiefs can continue to get leads, he could push that number up to 15.
