Some have said The Hawks have the worst D in NFL history... Some say Carroll and Norton need to be fired because of the D performance in the first three quarters of the season...
I think we have witnessed a great coaching performance...from what I can see the Hawks Have made adjustments both personal and scheme to work on solving the issues at hand...
How many times does a team go through a game without their two starting corners against one of the best teams in the NFL and come out with a win because of good D play? Where do you attribute that success?
They coached up those corners and worked through the injuries...brought in new players where they lacked... isn't that what they are supposed to do? The fact that they lost a couple of games to good football teams while they were working things out is not relevant ..
I think the problem is more with the fans not giving the team an opportunity to adjust and work things out...it doesn't happen overnight and they still are not done...
There are no easy games in the NFL.... Any team can beat any team on any given day so don't be surprised if there's more to be worked out by the D ...
The biggest thing for the Hawks is for them to keep improving consistently so that when the play offs come they are playing their best football. The Hawks biggest opponent are themselves... they need to play to their own expectations to their own potential...
What the stats say at the end of the year is irrelevant! What's important is how this team is gelling going into the playoffs... that's all that matters, what happened during the season is doesn't really matter...it's what's happening NOW...
So potentially at the end of the season the Hawks could have the worst statistical D in the NFL by the time the playoffs come but... If the D comes together and they gel over the remaining games, they very well could have one of the best D's in the NFL with the worst stats... that's kind of how it works or at least the way I see it coming together...
