(S4) - PT #4 - Free Agent Review

[CDub2]

There were a some super stars that hit free agency this past off season. Names like Josh Garden commanded massive attention and massive dollars during the free agency period. So while we saw some already strong teams become stronger and create more imbalance in the league, some teams decided to do things a little differently. One team that intrigued was the Baltimore Hawks. They made no notable signings, but the moves they made have had a huge impact. Avon Blocksdale switched to QB from offensive lineman. So far so good for Blocksdale. Currently 4th in the league in passing yards and 3rd in the league for passer rating. While it all hasn't been smooth sailing, it is a improvement over last season and the Hawks finally have much more dynamic pieces on offence. The other notable move from the Hawks was Owen Taylor switching to RB from defense. He currently has 7 TDs in 6 games and is only trailing the league leader in rushing by 40 yards (but has 49 less carries). Both these moves have paid huge dividends for the now 5-1 Hawks. A team that once relied heavily on defense now has a league leading offense to pair with a still dangerous defense.
