I'm not really sure about Hawk. I was watching the week 17 game again tonight (vs. the Lions) and he just looked slow, got eaten up by blockers, and had little impact. The one positive I saw out of him was he covered the running back kevin smith out of the back field pretty well.
But as far as stopping the run . . . man, I hope there was some excuse for his play for most this year, even though he stated himself it wasn't his groin.
I'm counting on you Capers! Get Hawk where he needs to be!! At this point, I think it needs to be open competition for any position he may play . .
