Let's revisit this argument 10 years from now. I'm willing to bet Barnett will have more tackles per year than Hawk after they're both retired.

If we can't compare his stats against other GB LBs, how about against other LILBs in 3-4 defenses?

I adjusted those who have played 6 games to a 5-game schedule before rankong them. Hawk ranks 2nd from the bottom in the league, statistically, among LILBs of teams that play a 3-4 defense (I left NE off the list as Mayo, their starting LILB has only played in 3 games. but still had 13 tackles). Even counting him for 4 games instead of 5 would have moved Hawk only ahead of two other LBs.
