Whom expected Hawk to be a Taylor type?
Yes we was labeled a safe pick.. because you would get production from him and we have.. no one is saying he hasn't.
That was a piss poor draft overall.. and we are lucky we don't have a major bust on our hands.. agreed.
But Hawk has not played up to his talent.. and that isn't because the talent itself is there.. personally it is on the mental side of the game and I have to believe, when we see others there as well, the positional coaching.
Go watch some footage of Hawk in college vs the pro.. he doesn't look like the same player.. in college he attacked.. here he reacts.
And that is where the disappointment in his game comes in.. and where he hasn't lived up to expectations.
Call it what you want.. maybe it is fear of the word bust.. but even the coaches tell you he has to turn it loose and play more aggressively..
