He's started the last two games. Had a sack in each one, 4 tackles, and 7 tackles. I'd say he's worth a start.I'll also say that he's going to wind up being the steal of the draft. There are few DE's that have those kind of athletic abilities, and they shouldn't last that long. Two reasons why he was underrated:1. Got injured, and played injured. Which is good news/bad news. "Hey, he played through injury, alright!! But where's the explosion? Maybe he's dogging it..." I've seen the draft reports, alwyas the same thing. The injury gets mentioned, but then ignored as a possible reason why his impact was down.2. BC's system in Kiwi's last year was read and react from the DE's. Kiwi would take step or two upfield, and slow down or stop altogether, as part of his responsibilites. He was rarely turned loose. I recall learning about this from a newspaper interview with one of the BC coaches.God, I'm still pissed about this. If the Raiders had taken Kiwi at #7, I would have been ecstatic. Reach or not. The only silver lining is that KC took Hali rather than Kiwi.
