Maybe. The top end talent is outstanding...but they have also played a LOT of games the last three years - an extra half seasons worth of post season games. I've seen the same thing play out with numerous teams the last fifteen years or so. All of those extra games take a toll. I think we saw that the second half of last season when guys started breaking down. If they stay healthy, the Hawks should be great. But it's already likely that Earl Thomas won't be ready for the start of the season and that's one star down. if Mebane is healthy, the DL should be OK but if not...
They are going to need another wave of good, young players to hit the beach soon. The last two drafts haven't produced players at the same rate as the two prior to that.
