So that's why they switched to a 3-4!

He was a beast this year. I watched alot of Chiefs games this year and he was impressive. He was their entire pass rush all year.

That is true, for the most part. Wallace Gilberry was a decent pass rusher when he got a chance. But yeah, Hali is the guy everyone worries about.

imagine how much better he could be if the chiefs actually had a complementary pass rusher that also attracted some attention.

You mean someone like Jared Allen? Yeah, don't remind me of that.

I have to say, the weight Tamba lost certainly looks like its helped him quite a bit. Im not sure what exactly he is playing at, but he had said he wanted to be around 255-260. He looks much more nimble and explosive than he did when he was 280+
