Baltimore Hawks GM Gordon Gekko is no fool. Observing the Hawks last season, it was clear where their weakness lay -- the sparseness of their defensive front seven; in case you hadn't noticed -- and he made no hesitation bolstering it. The addition of linebackers Roenick and Goodson, as well as the selfless move to DL from veteran Erasmo Broadway gives the Hawks a much better look on the defensive side of things heading into season six.
Neither new guy would be described as "a character" in the same way as sorely missed former Hawks defensive lineman Ricardo Sandoval, for example... but the entire Hawks organisation is fairly low key. Goodson and Roenick's laid-back demeanour means they both fit in perfectly with the existing roster, and their willingness to do what is needed for the team has seen them embraced with open arms. If the Hawks locker room can maintain those bonds through season six, it seems likely their defense will only improve as the weeks pass.
It was largely the Hawks' impressive defense in season two that propelled them from the basement to NSFC champions, and since losing a conference championship game isn't exactly a ditch to crawl out of, it will be interesting to see how much further their newest additions can help them go.
