Kansas City Chiefs OLB, Tamba Hali appears to be having a Twitter meltdown. I say “appears” because there is always the possibility that he has been hacked. Hali drawing attention to himself in such a way is not something we are used to. During his time with the Chiefs, Hali has always been a hard, humble worker. He’s been a veteran leader for sure but his leadership has always been conducted int he locker room.
It is Saturday and I happened to catch this. I am sure Matt Connor will be around at some point (can’t the man just enjoy his Saturday, Tamba?) but I figured I’d throw up Tamba’s tweet storm so ya’ll could discuss. I have included some tweets Tamba’s account re-tweeted as well. He seems super frustrated at his lack of playing time in the playoffs last year. He even goes after Adam Teicher pretty hard.
The whole thing seems super weird. Training camp is right around the corner. I am not sure why Tamba would pick now to go on this rant. He tweets that he has not been cut so I am really not sure what is up. Hack? Meltdown? Dunno.
Tweets below.
Fans should know this. only played 7 snaps last year 2017 playoff game against the Steelers.

I was told the reason I wasn't playing was they wanted me fresh for the playoff.

Can someone explain to me how I played 58 snaps in the first game when we made the greatest comeback in Chiefs history?

watching both Steelers game from sideline and playing 15 and 7 in the last game I'm still lost. Am I needed in KC anymore?

I was healthy last year and the year before. I had a scope not a major procedure. The result of playing for a long time.

I haven't missed any off-season workouts in 11 years w/the Chiefs. I've played in every game except four in my 11 year career with Chiefs.

Let's look at the Super Bowl champs I am sure they had 100% attendance for OTAS AND OFFFSEASON WORKOUT this year. I maybe wrong.

I'm a team player first. Anything for the team. Yet I'm not done knocking QB heads off but 7 plays won't cut it.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) July 22, 2017
I've played through all my injuries I've acquire throughout my careers not sitting out because I did not feel I wouldn't be at my best.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) July 22, 2017
I play because I love the game and did it under some of the worst conditions.

TAMBA HALI IS TWEETING HIS THOUGHTS.

I'm not a pass rusher I'm a football player. I just happens to get to QB when GOd allows me to.

I just got my purple belt. Thanks to @RenerGracie @RyronGracie getting ready for another season hoping to play more. pic.twitter.com/ddEbQFRRiu

Guys it shouldn't come as a surprise knowing most people are ignorant to reality of the football business.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) July 22, 2017
So people are curious if I'm holding out or got cut. No to both. I want to play more.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) July 22, 2017
Maybe @TambaHali91 has a point. But he'd better get used to it. His playing time isn't going up this season.
— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) July 22, 2017
Adam I wouldn't talking if I was you
