Problem is the pass Rushing linebacker is set to disrupt the 49ers All Over again As a member of the Dallas cowboys. San Francisco 15-2 and Dallas 143 meet sunday in the pfc championship game. A i know he wants to come Back Here and make a great impression on the fans and let the team and management know they made a bad decision a 49er left tackle Steve Wallace said a but in a the Guy that will have to face him. Hopefully i can put together a Good game  Haley generally sweeps in from the right Side putting him opposite Wallace. Dallas sometimes switches him to the other Side meaning right tackle Harris Barton will share responsibility with Wallace for keeping Haley away from Steve Young who was sometimes a target of Haleys mood swings. It was Haleys volatile temper ment and philosophical clashes with san Francisco coach George Seifert that provoked his Trade last August. The last Straw reportedly was when Haley urinated on a car belonging to Tim Harris the linebacker defensive end who replaced Haley in the 49ers�?T defense. The 49ers received Dallas second round pick in �?T93 and a third round pick in �?T94 for Haley the 1990 pfc defensive player of the year who totalled 63 sacks in six seasons with san Francisco Quot it was a Good move for Dallas its been a Good move for the 49ers,&Quot Seifert said Quot Charles has played Well. We be played  Seifert said Haley s departure was Good for san Francisco steam a chemistry Quot and benefited Harris. A Tim Harris realized that was his spot.

The unit with Haley among four new starters soared to the no. 1 ranking this season from 17th a year ago. The Dallas defense also doubled its sack production this season to 44. A a he a obviously been a tremendous addition a Cowboy defensive Back Ray Horton said. A i  say he a the one Factor Why we re winning or Why the defense is no. 1. If i was going to name the keys to our defense i d say having the depth that we have a the number of players we have who can play and do  Haley had just six sacks but he Ted the team with 42 quarterback pressures. His presence provided the bigger Impact. He would often be double teamed which helped free up other pass Rushing rout for teammates. A the comes off the Corner so quickly Quot Seifert said. Quot the offensive linemen if you get somebody that a not too mature he can psyche himself out before the game even starts because of his  even though Wallace and Barton Are both Veteran accomplished tackles they know the eat is on them to keep the heat off Young. What makes their Job harder is that san Francisco rarely uses double teams even against exceptional pass rushers like Haley a the has All the skills Quot said Wallace who recalled his heated training Camp Battles with Haley. A a in be always thought he was one of the  Seifert added he a not Overly concerned with Haleys knowledge of the 49ers. Quot Charles is a smart Man hell remember a lot of the things that went on Here a Seifert said. But he noted that former 49er safety Todd Bowles played with Washington last saturday and the 49ers got by the redskins 20-13 to Advance to the pfc title game. A and we have players on our Charles Haley. Victim of chemistry team who have familiarity with Dallas also. So its not a one Way Street Quot Seifert said.
