It's the same cast of characters saying the same exact thing

The Hawks start slow every year. Then the last gasps of criticisms come in as the playoff run begins. Then, it's a bunch of hopes that they flail out. If you took the time to look over the roster, you'd notice the massive changes that have taken place. New starting center, new starting left guard, new starting right guard (that is actually our first round pick, who happens to be injured. Not one regular season snap taken yet), new starting left tackle. Only one starting offensive lineman (RT) remains from last season and that's Gary Gilliam. In large part the OL has been completely restructured.
Graham and Rawls are working their way back from major injuries, and of course Wilson is dealing with a high ankle sprain. To be straight forward, they're lucky that he was even able to play. My only concern would be if this high ankle sprain lingers way too long, or if there is a setback. They have to carry four TE's because of the injuries at that spot. No Vannett, and the uncertainty surrounding Graham (who looks to be progressing gradually).
This is how the team is structured. Load up on D, and let Russell figure it out after the first quarter of the year. Notice how nobody says anything about his amount of GW drives

. We're a balanced team by design, we're going to run the ball no matter what.
