Urlacher is a rare breed, gifted physically.  But one thing he has to have, like Barnett is clear space. He struggles to shed blocks, this is where Hawks game is different. He can fight off the blocks with the more stout frame. Both are gamers and sell out every play. The reason Urlacher had such an impact is that he wasn't confined by abilities to the box as much as say Hawk so far. Hawk isn't as fluid in pass coverage, but is every bit as physical. My opinion on Hawk is that if you had him in the middle he would be more dominant. An enforcer type. But then you displace another productive member of the defense. Hawk was learning to play a position and scheme that he wasn't accustomed to playing where in coverage he got more than 10 yards deep. In college he played mostly a short zone with everything in front of him. So the Wil spot is new and foreign where Urlacher was moved all over in college and transitioned in faster. That is my opinion.</blockquote>
