Well, okay, got the over the top fan hopefulness out of the way quickly. The preseason CERTAINLY spotlighted a few, shall we say, WEAKNESSES. I'm hoping the O-Line gels quickly. Jackson can scramble and make plays that way, but come on, give the guy a break or two. And as for his backup, well, Whitehurst looks better than before, but still, unless that line solidifies, he's toast too. Nothing like finishing a season with your third-stringer (no matter how promising he is) to get that High first round pick!
I'm actually hopeful that while these guys probably aren't Super Bowl ready yet (HUGE understatement), being based in the NFC West, they could certainly make some noise. Repeat division champs? Maybe. All the teams in there have issues. I think some people will be surprised by the Hawks. Obviously they're building for the future. So are the other teams in the division. They aren't the strongest division in the NFL by a long shot CURRENTLY, but I'd say look out in the next season or two. The teams and their evolving coaching staffs are making for an interesting future.
And it's starting this coming week!
Go Hawks!!
