(S6) - PT2 - New Teammates

[HENDRIX]

Big name free agent? Lol. Baltimore don't get those. But what we have been fortunate to get is great players through the draft and through trade. This year the squad has been extremely fortunate to add linebackers Noah Goodson @toivo and Austin Roenick @Leafer. From day one they have fit right in as high character and hard working teammates. The Hawks were desperate for help in the front seven of their defense coming into this offseason, adding both of those players was a huge score and has the team and fans around the city very excited. Both are young players that will continue to improve throughout the season. In Goodson's case he was the first overall pick in the S4 draft two seasons ago, with Roenick he was the 6th pick in the most recent draft. Goodson is a coverage type of linebacker, so he'll be playing the weak side LB position where he will cover slot WRs and TEs, attack the left side of the OL on blitzes, and contain the opposing RB. Roenick is a balanced type of linebacker. He'll be playing the middle LB position and be the defensive signal caller on the Hawks defense. He'll be in charge of making tackles sideline to sideline and making sure the defense is running the correct play. I'm confident these two additions will bring the defense to higher levels. (230)
