    Keep Hawk get rid of a 3rd rounder
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

        Honestly, I see nothing in hawks run stopping game that chillar couldn't do just as well, and chillar is clearly viewed as the better pass coverage option.

        So... no reason, overall, for hawk to even be a fulltime guy when chillar behind him can pretty much do it all anyways.

          Hawk is just too limited... we have a need, go ahead and fill it.

          Overall, I don't think we have defense enough to win a SB, but Hawk sure isn't going to be the difference maker in that equation.

          Bring Lynch in and at least shore up that position.

                  We have 8 LBs on the roster. We have 0 LBs on the practice squad.

                  If we go trading away a linebacker, I'd want a linebacker in return.

                    I didn't get yours before you didn't get mine.

                      This is another report based on the same article posted by the Buffalo News based almost entirely on speculation. Please make it stop.
                      "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

                        This doesn't seem like news.
                        70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

                          Completely wrong. I know Hawk has some big limitations, but as far as run stuffing, he is miles ahead of Chillar. At least 3 times I saw Chillar being not only pancaked, but also being tossed yards downfield. Hawk doesn't always take the right pursuit, but he rarely gets driven downfield the way I've repeatedly seen Chillar against the run. Getting rid of Hawk in support of Chillar as a full time starter would be disasterous for us on defense, Chillar is not a full tme starter, especially against the run.
                          "I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murraugh

                            One guy can't fill, the other can't cover.

                            We are in no position to make a trade, IMHO.

                              I would be much more in favor of keeping Hawk and simply offering a draft choice(s).
                              I thin perhaps a 3 and 6 would get it done.
                              Sometimes when you are close, and the team is already solid - giving up 2 picks is not nec. a poor decision.
