Cowboys Interview Tamba Hali of Penn State at combine - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Gryphon · 02-26-2006

Ranch Report says this. He would fit as an OLB in a 3-4. he's 6'2" just around 260lbs.

Yes please

Well I do know he can get to the QB. LOL

StanleySpadowski · 02-26-2006

Just because a player is small for a DE doesn't mean that they have the ability to stand up as a 3-4 OLB.

Hostile · 02-26-2006

Hard for me to picture him at SOLB.

ThreeSportStar80 · 02-26-2006

If he can get me 10 sacks and some QB pressures then I'm all for it. I don't hear many Pittsburgh fans crying about Joey Porter's inability to cover TE's or runningbacks well.

Obviously the Cowboys scouts feel he can do it.

I'll trust the scouts because they didn't exactly screw it up when it came to drafting D. Ware did they??

They wouldn;t even talk to him if they didn;t think he could fit in the system, you are only allowed so many interviews at the combine.

Hali cannot play SOLB it's that simple. He's nowhere near agile enough to stand up.

Besides, a team interviewing a player means nothing. Maybe it's due dilligence, maybe it's a smokescreen to get a team to jump in front of them for player A so that players B, C or D drop.
