I'm not even going to debate it anymore. The guy is, and was garbage. Period. He's riding the pine behind a guy that isn't much better. He wasn't Ray Lewis when Ray was on injured reserve. He wasn't even a poor mans Derrick Brooks. He just sucked. I don't care what his tackles were. Donnie Edwards made a shit load of tackle.....19 yards past the line. But even Donnie was a better player than Thomas Howard. Don't even try to argue this one Hamas. That guy is garbage.



Playing with his hand in the dirt against left tackles with no one else around him. Obviously the guy is lot better than Thomas ****ing Howard. I don't throw the baby out with the bath water, which is what you do. Tamba had a bad year so hey, **** him. It's dumb Hamas. Lots of guys have down seasons.

No one said that Thomas Howard was great or even that good. However, a poor man's Donnie Edwards (and that's exactly what he was) was a far more productive player in 2008 than Tamba Hali. Do you remember how ****ing bad he was? How he was absolutely annihilated against the run? You talk about Howard getting killed against the run, Hali was the worst run defending DE in the league not named Dwight Freeney.

Essentially everyone had given up on Tamba Hali before halfway through 2009. You weren't here, so you have the benefit of claiming that you didn't. Congrats. I was here, I read the ****ing posts and posted in the thread. The guy was a massive target of vitriol. He was viewed as a situational, complementary pass rusher who was horrible against the run.

And expecting a first round draft pick to beat a LT when single covered is not a Herculean task.

I said Hali had a down season, no doubt about it. **** man Michael Strahan had a 5.5 sack season once after becoming a pro bowl guy. That's my point. It happens to almost every guy at some point. A down season.

And no, Thomas Howard was never even a poor mans Donnie Edwards. Dude he sucked. Just stop. I watched him get trucked by very poor fullbacks who are out of the league now. He was soft as shit.

I'll tell you who he was, a poor mans Ian Gold.

ahem...excuse me.... I called that this was the best defense for him and that he would do well. I really didn't have any doubts that he would. Frankly, it was a very, very good fit given his athletic ability.
