We've all been used to the Hawks being an offensive team, so we just assume this is is the same as the past few. But as I've watched the last couple of games its become apparent that the tide has changed.
The Hawks bread and butter is in defense and special teams. I think this is one of the best defense I've ever seen in my years of watching the hawks. I actually welcome having a more defense oriented team, its just hard adjusting to watching an impotent offense.
I got an email from one of the many hawk newsletters that I'm signed up for, and they had a mid-season review that really drives the point home if you look at our defense vs offense scoring ratings as well as the turnover margins:
