Downright average.

Never once was Hawk anywhere near the league’s leading tackler.

But yeah, the 2019 league’s leading tackler sucks.

Hawk and Martinez really don't play the same position. While they call is a 3-4 Martinez doesn't play in that defense other than a few plays a game. Hawk played it almost exclusively from 2009 forward.

In that scheme Hawk was basically more of another D lineman taking on blockers to free up Barnett or Bishop or even Brad Jones to run to the ball.

In this defense Martinez is that type of free runner, but it's really more of a gap integrity defense.
