Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 489218">So, if Hawk's lack of intensity and physicality in 2011 is a function of the scheme, then I guess we should have fired Capers last year. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /> . Uh, oh...I feel a merge coming! Seriously, Capers is talking about Hawk in the pass rush in that comment. I'm not one of those guys who gets down on Hawk for failing to make impact plays...sacks, ints, forced fumbles...though it would be nice to see one more often than once in a blue moon. Doesn't it seem that when a guy takes as many snaps as Hawk he'd make an impact play more often just by accident? Seriously. I just want him to lead by example and hit some guys...very poor in 2011; better in 2012. And if your ILB is not going to hit guys, he better be a good blitz and coverage guy...Hawk cannot lay claim to that. Capers thought Hawk was better in coverage in 2012? Sounds like damning with faint praise...that would have been a low bar to hurdle. It's not like he's a terrible player; he's just not what I would call a good player. That said, I expect him to be around another year while crossing my fingers Bishop will be back healthy so that somebody is out there to compliment the "finesse" players.</blockquote>
