Not trying to sound snarky here so please don't take it as such, but Hawk's been a huge disappointment and the opportunity was there for us to shore up a position of need and it didn't happen. Maybe if the Chillar/Barnett/Jones don't hit the IR we're not even having this discussion. Who knows...

I am not trying to sound snarky either - so please don't take it that way.

I guess I am not as disappointed with Hawk as you are. I was last year, but decided to go and take a look at the stats. If you look at his numbers and consider the impact he's had this year, I am thoroughly impressed. In this 2010 season he led the team in total tackles at (111), 3rd in solo tackles (72), .5 sacks, but had 3 interceptions. Those are respectale numbers.

As I said, his performance last year left me a bit disappointed, but when I went to look up those stats, I was shocked, for I learned that in 2009 he was 2nd in total tackles (89) and 2nd in solo tackles (67), had 2 sacks, and 1 interception. Why was it such a bad year? Maybe the better question is, why did I think he'd had such a bad year?

I figured I'd look up all his seasons and check out his stats.

So, in 2008, he was 1st in total tackles (86) and 1st in solo tackles (67) and 3 sacks.

In 2007 he was 2nd in total tackles (105) and 2nd in solo tackles (78) with 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 interception.

In 2006. he was 1st in total tackes (120), 1st in solo tackles (83), had 3.5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 interceptions.

Seems to me that this 2010 season wasn't so bad, he never really had a great season in regard to sacks, 2010 was his best year for interceptions, and the number of tackles he had this year is a solid performance. He was made defensive team captain this season. I guess I'd like to know why he's such a disappointment.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
