A lot of guys never recover from the mental part of a bad injury. I can see how it'd be hard to go back to the reckless self-sacrificing style that makes a guy special. Its good that he's got some kind of upside, but I think this is just a pro-ready guy to replace 2013 Hawk now that 2014 Hawk is no longer up to that task. I don't think they are looking to turn a weakness into a strength here, just to put a guy in the middle of the defense who has a contagious attitude and can be trusted to not lose the game by himself. If he turns out to be a thorn, great. If not, oh well. We're no worse off than we were.
