Yep, and why not. If we get bombarded with injuries he'll be quite welcome down the stretch.

Hawthorne did look good in the preseason, he read the QB came off his assignment and almost got that pick against the Texans...

From what I saw in Seattle and what I saw this pre-season, he looks like a better LB than Lofton as well.

I really like the Hawthorne/Humber combo in the middle.

I think Hawthorne is better against the pass and Lofton is better against the run

I'm not convinced Lofton is better versus the run, but its probably close.
